Our garden is booming right now.
Two members of our bantam flock: Auracana rooster on left, Silver Sebring on right. Aren't they gorgeous?
Hot Water from the Sun I installed an outdoor solar-heated shower 12 years ago. It's a large box with a black tank and double-wall plastic glazing. I never shower in the house any more. Each time I feel that hot water I'm amazed and excited and delighted to think that the heat is free energy (other than the cost of the materials of the box). Plus I swear the shower feels different. Molecules of hot water heated by the sun, like rice cooked on a wood stove.
There was an excellent article on the 2008 state-of-the-art of solar water heating by Scott Gibson in a recent Fine Homebuilding: Click here for PDF

Hey ya!
We are right there with you on that showing outside thing. Particularly fond of a wood deck underneath the bare toes.
We just added 3 Banty hens to our (small) flock this week, having never had them before. They are really full of personality.
I would love to afford something like that. I hope with the newers solar panels that they are cheaper and they can work at night. I can afford at last to implement solar energy at home.
according to the most of experts, this is the best solution if we want to use clean energy, of course like all in the human word, this have a price, and for disgrace is a high one, the first invest is around two thounsad dollars, this is not a amount of money that anyone can spend.
I’ve recently started a blog, the info you provide on this site has helped me tremendously. Thank you for all of your time & work. solar water heating
