as i was talking to Lloyd at Frank N Stein and mentioned i had to think about heating for my house for the declining years. right now i use wood i collect when people want to have it removed. i have salvaged enough to stay warm for the past few years. i don't want to burn wood and i don't know how much i will be able to salvage in the future. (i would only burn it when someone would otherwise burn it up in a big pile out in their yard for no good reason)
so Lloyd (still in charge of dreamland security!) starts talking about passive solar and asking me questions about my house and drawing it on paper and that was it!
i went home and started planning this space. i have taken out the tree that needed to come out. the plans are being made. Steve is researching the design and has come up with some great ideas. we will dig down so the space will continue the roof line and be down a couple of feet. is that passive geothermal...hmmmm. anyway looks like something in the 200 square feet range is where we are now. the orientation is not perfect. we will be looking for ways to maximize what we have....here are some photos of the site, the sun situation (mostly midday) and the winter garden (taken jan 15th-23rd)
and there will be plants growing thruout the winter.......this is going to be FUN!!!!!
