A pickle jar window....part of the "redneck"/homemade windows for cabins/sheds/forts/treehouses series


 Here's a shot (inside "The GottaGiddaWay" Cabin (from the NY Times Tiny House Shoot (still under construction in this photo) of the hokey "pickle-jar window" concept from my tiny house-design book, in action. These one-gallon jar-windows allow light into sheds, shacks, and even your homes/tiny houses, but also double as storage, or in-wall terrariums- and who knows what else...

Simple n' funky.... jar, a compass, silicone caulk, and a jig saw and you're good to go....

We might have a mini instructional video on this window, and several more bizarre makeshift other ones, semi-soon.
