    Therma-coil: to heat water with a wood stove

    Very cool! I haven't actually gotten this done myself... it looks like you have really good heat transfer with that setup. If I do this, with a...

    Huskee 22 ton gas tank

    This is disappointing to hear as I was thinking about going for one of the 22 ton units next time I find a 10% coupon. I would find it VERY annoying...

    You are right - unfortunately, that optimal position rarely matches your roof. I see a lot of ugly installations in NY with panels jacked up off...

    How many of you have had chainsaw accidents?

    I guess what I'm getting at is I'd feel better if all of these accidents started with "well, I was doing XYZ which is clearly not a great idea, but I...

    How many of you have had chainsaw accidents?

    Just came across this product that claims to reduce hot water re-heating

    All of these constant reciculators are a bad idea unless you have very high water/sewer costs and very low energy costs. They will save money on the...

    Huskee 27 ton Log splitter

    Anyone look into heat-pump water heaters? My quest for oil-free house

    Good point - I'd guess on average we're about 6 feet below grade. Without any heat or A/C in the basement, we stay around 50-55. Maybe some of...

    Anyone look into heat-pump water heaters? My quest for oil-free house

    I'm thinking that if you have a below-grade basement that is un-insulated, you'll stay at 50-55 which seems to be OK. But without that, I think...
