OK, so we're past the "I hope" stage, and to the point where we can actually start designing and preparing for our greenhouse. The problem is,I have a short list of sources for ideas, and none of those ideas involve blueprints for cost estimating.Anyone with experience and/or knowledge in this area is welcome to reply (my last article sunk like a stone).

What I am designing is an 8x16 leanto greenhouse against the back side of our house. the west wall will be opaque, decisions about the roof structure will be made once I get some estimates in. We are considering the use of automobile cooling fans for ventilation (they are DC, and thus would be compatible with a small wind generator we are planning on obtaining within the next couple of years), but are looking at other options and need some figures for minimum displacement (approximately 1000 cubic feet). Again, if you have experience in this area, it would be much appreciated.

Our budget is modest, but not impossibly small. If costs come in too high,we may cut the length in half and add on an extension when we can afford it. Your ideas in this area are appreciated.
