It’s lovely. I am envious, to say the least. My south-facing windows are covered by a wide porch which negates it for incubating plants. Since I’ve lived here, (23 years) I’ve wanted to add a sunspace on the end of the house and would adjoin my dressing room/bathroom. It would be horrnedously expensive, hoever, and I’ve never had the money.
Then, I thought of persuading my husband to build another garage — not connected, but facing door to door to the existing attached garage. My plan would be to have a half greenhouse along the south-facing wall. I could kill 2 birds with one stone — get a green house and get his workshop out of my basement! No dice. Too much money, and he’s not really interested.
Now, my plan is to acquire one of those kit green houses sold at Costco, or Sam’s, for about $700-$1000, and put it out into the front (former) pasture. I fugure that you could make a foundation out of treated lumber and fill it full of gravel and then attach the greenhouse to the wood. I don’t know about city permits, howeve. I probably could get by with it because of our Ag overlay zoning, but I don’t want any hassle with the city. There would be no electricity out there, so no heat. So, I don’t know how useful it would be in Wisconsin weather. Also, I don’t know about wind vulnerability.
Gotta have something to dream about.
