HOUSE PROGRESS

Here is a shot of the interior of my partly finished home. This view is from the kitchen, looking west into the living room. The unfinished walls
are where the solar radiant heat will be mounted. The solar panels in the shot below have circulating water which is then pumped through the house---radiant floor heat for the basement, and the radiant walls in the main floor and upstairs in the master bedroom/bath. This system is high-tech, and is taking frustratingly long to install, but will be worth it as there will be minimal energy bills for the life of the home.
My contractors are excited to be refurbishing a factory built home in this way--thinking that it will open a market eventually for more affordable conscious housing.

This is the south side of the house, gathering solar energy year round. We have an average of 320 days per year of sunshine which should be more than enough to keep me good and warm in the winter, and to fill my new big soaking bathtub with enough water to enjoy the view for long soaks.
