She thought you might be able to help me? I have an integrated greenhouse into my house but need advice on: Installing thermo-pane glass on a slanting roof to make the seal watertight. Adequate ventilation so it does not overheat Suggestions for integrating a thermal heat storage system. I have built my own home so I have some experience in construction; also I am familiar with the use of epoxy and fibreglass for decking. I have attached some photos to give you an idea of what the greenhouse area looks like. It is actually 2 greenhouse areas, as there is the lower one and a small 2nd story greenhouse area as well. The windows installed now leak and will have to be removed as the sills are rotten, so I plan to do a major renovation there and to install new glass, possible with argon gas? My main concern is a method for keeping the glass water tight. I would appreciate any suggestion you might have and I would also be willing to pay for a consultation fee if you would be able to come and do an onsite evaluation. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration Sincerely Lenny Hornung (902) 467-3378 Bear River, NS
