Friend replaced several of the windows in his home and asked if he could toss his old ones in my dumpster. I said sure.
Never have sunk to dumpster diving in MY OWN dumpster! Probably a good thing I don’t have any storage space.
Single pane, wood frame… I was thinking, “hmm, I could hinge them on the sides and make swing-out shed windows.”
But I’ve got NO WHERE to put ’em.

If they have the old rolled glass ( wavy) SAVE IT.
I am paying 3.00 a pane for 10x20 Float glass, and the wavy rolled is ...sit down, 30.00 each with shipping.
The old stuff is way fragile, and just unglazing a sash garuntees breakage.
They aren't old enough to be wavy yet. I think his house was built in the 50's/60's, but I'm not sure.

Are you saying that if you wait long enough they'll get wavy. Kinda like my j*hnson!
Whether being kitsch or aesthetics aside,
you really, really have to watch the gathering or windows and doors.
be don't ask me how I know this snorK*
Gather enough and you can open a salvage place :)

DD'n is a great sport...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->
WOW!!! What a Ride!Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
He doesn't get to turn it in for points until people THINK he's got a salvage yard.
Kind of a variation on the 'people keep stopping asking if I'm having a garage sale' syndrome.jt8

I know you really don't have a problem with that pile of "good" stuff, do you?
Around our sheet metal shop we have 5 race cars in some form or another, parts everywhere. Something about running Figure 8 races on Saturday nights seems to keep us in stock!
Beautiful view you have there!Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fishand he'll sit in a boat all day, drinking beer.
I know you really don't have a problem with that pile of "good" stuff, do you?
Yeah. I really do. We break out the glass, throw it in the dumpster and haul the remains to a salvage yard. Tried giving away some of the nicer doors to LOVE inc, but they never returned my calls. Now we just burn them!
Those piles have been cleaned up several times this year. Just running behind on it right now.
For July 4th, we go sit out in the pasture and watch from here! Forget going downtown and trying to find a parking place! Pretty cool.My brain + his brawn = a perfect team
I know the perfect place for those windows.....
... back in the dumpster.

There is a shed behind 1725 so 8th that I'll bet my Mom would let you store them in if you take some of the other glass! <G>
You're NOT helping! Sometimes not having storage space is a good thing. I've already got stuff in Mom's garage and Sis's garage. We don't want to encourage the scattered site 'storage' system. ;)

One of the benefits of growing older I've discovered is being able to cut back on the keep piles to more managable building materials and just freakin' give away, sell or burn what can't be timberframed, screwed, nailed, welded or cemented.
