Greenhouse Made With Used Windows

Greenhouse built on our homestead with used windows. The rear wall consists of stabilized* adobe bricks made with a CinvaRam, a compression tool I learned about in the '60s from the Whole Earth Catalog. There's a solar-powered fan for cooling and a small solar-powered trickling fountain inside. Note: using old windows like this requires a lot of time puttying and/or painting (but look at the result!)
*1 part cement to 12 parts soil. (The soil came from digging out our 15' deep garden well.)
