What a wonderful find!! I too snaffled 6 panes from old sliding doors and used them to build a small (14x14) GH, supplemented with a polycarb roof and a couple of old doors with multiple window panes. Since light from the north is useless, I built the north wall against an existing structure, which let me build a bigger gh with the materials I had, and the north wall is airtight and acts as an insulator against the winter winds. It also gave me a place for a sink, and a shelving area for additives and supplies.
Living in the deep south, the additional heat that many windows allow in wouldn't be bearable as a part of the main house, but might work well enough for you. However insect control can be a real problem in a GH (aphids and spider mites especially) and I would hesitate to invite them to share my daily living space.

Good luck, and take lots of pictures!!!
