Aaron and I always have a bunch of projects going on. I don’t know if it is because he likes to do stuff, or if it’s because I’m obsessive and have to do stuff. Honestly, I think it’s the latter. After all, Aaron will be the first to say that his favorite thing to do is… nothing.
I’ve got some serious plans for this window, and it’s sister.
My mother-in-law (to-be) and father-in-law just finished replacing some old windows in their kitchen. You got it – this is one of them. I snapped this sucker up as soon as I heard about it, because I’ve got plans. I want to build a raised bed on the back of the garage the same size as this window (and another for its twin) and then place the window on top to create two cold frames.
Right now I’m looking at this location, as its about the only one I’ve got.
Imagine stretched across that back two cold frames and a big compost bin. That’s the plan, anyway.
Of course, I can’t start on it until I finish the raised beds first… Three more truck loads of compost (one mixed with some top soil I think) and two truck loads of cinder block!

Neat plan for the windows. Should definitely help to have a couple mini-greenhouses.
Big ideas! Sounds like you’ve got a great start!!!
That’s a great idea for the recycled windows. Our next-door neighbors when I was growing up were big gardeners, and they had a few cold frames. They gave them a great start on their big garden each year. Go for it!
