I resized them... hope they are not too small.
Photos: 1-4
1 shows roof finally on and holes cut for exhaust fans and sliding door.
2 exhaust fans installed - they are 30" fans, belt driven by 1/2 HP motors. these are the ones that pull the air through the wet-wall.
3 thermostatic controlled vent - this will open up if temp goes above 90 degrees or so
4 manual vent on opposite side.
I am putting plexiglass put in on the wall facing our sunroom so we can look into the greenhouse.
The sunroom and GH walls are only separated by about 3 feet.

An impressive structure and I am looking to build something similar in the future.

Great photos, perfect size.

More photos... now that I figured how to resize them...
Photos 1-4
1 This shows the back wall that the wet-wall material slides into. There still is quite a bit of work to do to install the trough and sump, plumbing and electrical.
2 This shows the wet-wall material stacked up.
3 this is the sump
4 this is one of the fans running- by the way they are two stage fans, the thermostat will cut the fan on low speed at say 80 degrees or so and if it still gets too hot the thermostat can kick them into high speed.... the fan blades appear distorted because the are turning. They are just being tested they will get the screen guard this weekend.
Thanks for looking!

So are you doing all the construction yourself?

No way do I have that skill...
Though I did watch him very carefully.
If & when we move I need to be able to take it apart.

I just came up with what equipment I wanted and the general design. I wanted it too match our sunrooms shape and width. And I had to be able to see into the greenhouse from the house. We have a rather small back yard, and I had to keep it 10 foot off the side and back fence lines.
That & wifey wanted a play area for our 18 month old...
