Anybody else built a greenhouse using old wooden window sashes?

Had to keep it under 100 sq ft do to being in a historic district but you get the idea. Turn the 2x4's in the walls flat,this gives room to butt the windows against one another with a clean look,.Pre paint/stain all the wood before construction is a huge timesaver.
 
Mine was done with metal windows for 2 reasons, one because of the high moisture environment needed for tropical plants and two because they were cheap.
When the new Low E windows where mandated the lumber yard was stuck with a bunch of windows that nobody wanted so I got a good deal on them.
The vented windows I had to order for the gables cost more the rest combined.
Used a gravel floor and and an old bunk bed frame suspended from the ceiling for hanging plants and wire shelves for smaller plants.
It served me well for years.
