Full view glass door? It's free!

[Zahboo]

I still think it's worth a go. Maybe have an old plywood door you can replace it with during winter?

I'm glad to see this. I found 2 new windows on craigslist for $30 each - they are essentially floor to ceiling. Low E, double hung, double paned, etc. There will be one on either side of the pop door. I'm keeping the screens on to keep down the mosquitos in the summer, but will line the whole inside of window with hardware cloth, so I can open either the top or bottom for venting/cooling. I think they'll love the view! My only concern is them(the windows!) getting dirty/poopy... Guess we'll find out...
I'll post pics when we finally get the darn thing built!!

I've heard that those racoons are clever that way, street smart, but not too booksmart. And to think that those little hands could actually work a glass cutter...

Well, I still would not do it myself by choice, but since you are that keen on it

I will point out that you can get some degree of protection vs frost by taping bubblewrap over the glass during the wintertime. In Missouri this might well be adequate, although it wouldn't be up here.

Good luck, have fun,

Pat

Thanks all for your help. I might give it a try with the caveat that come winter I might need to put a real door on it!
