[Greenbuilding] glass panels as porch roof?

[Clarke Olsen]

   Yes, those panels were scrounged. The more time elapses between seal failure and disassembly, the more surface fog on the inside glass surfaces. I took to scrubbing the oldest glass with steel wool and Bon Ami! My favorite size is 34" x 76" x 1/8". I can't imagine that acrylic would handle that span.
   When the first version of my entry cover came down, it was 2 bushels of little glass cubes.
You can cut yourself with those, but you have to work at it.

I prefer non-plaste-ccccch materials too, but in this instance figured it would be a handy short cut (lighter, easier to fasten, consistent across the full length (5 equal patio doors... could probably work I haven't looked carefully yet). Clarke, did you scrounge those doors? Can we see more of the timber-frame joinery?
