   I'd love to have an outdoor greenhouse.  Long before I got here, there   
   was a large back porch on my house, but all is gone except for the   
   mortared over slots in the brick wall... and you can see that they used   
   uglier brick below the porch floor, since it wasn't visible (but it is   
   now).   
      
   I've thought about trying to build a lean-to type back porch, part of it   
   being a green house, built from architectural salvage window sashes   
   (which are a lot cheaper than buying glass/lumber, especially if you   
   know someone replacing their windows).  The trouble is, doing it in a   
   tasteful fashion that doesn't look trashy.  That project is probably a   
   long way off, but if I come across a bunch of old windows cheap/free,   
   I'll store them in the rafters in my garage.
