Default Crazy, crazy crazy idea or is it?

Ok I'm moving my collection of orchids into a little lean-to/attached plant shed for the winter, as I'm hoping to build a proper GH in the spring.

It is attached to an open carport and the back wall is solid
galvanised [or something] metal which is roughly 4 x 2 metres.

I have read alot and been very inspired by vivs and epiphyte/wet walls and am thinking what if I turned that whole wall into such a thing- covered in plants, possibly with water seeping through or a water fall, possibly with water plants at the very bottom sitting in a sealed plastic rain gutter, a misting system hooked up to mains water maybe on a timer..

I could not only grow some orchids on there but other miscellanous plants like echindorus etc of which I have heaps of babies on flowers in my fishtanks currently growing now.

I wouldn't plan on introducing any animals but I already frogs in my little hobby GH that invited themselves in and I bet they would love it!

So is it a crazy idea that I need to squash immediately or is it something you would do- that maybe I could/should do?!
