I am getting ready to remove and replace 20 casement windows for our new 40 year old house. I hate to just dump them, so I've thought perhaps of repurposing them into a solar kiln/greenhouse in the backyard. Has anyone on the forum done this? If so post your pictures and let me know some of your ideas.
I envision a 45 degree window wall facing south, with an overhang at the base. In the overhang placing soffit venting to allow cool air into the structure. At the peak having ridge venting to allow excess heat out. The greenhouse idea would be to allow the condensation and water vapor from the drying wood to be usefully absorbed, and to moderate the temperatures.
What thinks y'all.
Thanks.
