RE: [papercreters] Hi Newbie to the group... some insights?

Please forgive my nosiness’,

I know what you mean about loosing trees.  We lost about 99% of our Old Growth Spruce.  Climate change and spruce bark beetles.

I’ve been hearing about the aquifers dropping hundreds of feet in the mid west, thus my concern when I saw pictures of the area.  I love the deserts.  You are indeed fortunate to find such a haven.

There is a well. There are two 70 gallon hot water solar powered storage tanks. I asked how many gallons per minute the well pumped and I'm still waiting for an answer from the realtor. There is supposed to be a good aquifer in that valley. There was a good one here, until this year and the drying up has wreaked havoc with the trees and woods.

[papercreters] recipe database guru Re: Message #4113

{This is a project that has needed someone to volunteer, take the
lead, and give this information the attention it deserves. ]

After reading Message #4106 I emailed Nori, who have send me the
link to her database at

http://www.papercreters.net/
The database is a pretty clean setup and makes it unneccesary for me
to duplicate her good work. I prefer to cooperate where possible to
make this Papercreters Database the best possible, as I invite
everybody interested in PC to cooperate with the good work Nori is
puting up.

I regestered to become a PC database member and got the message:
[Before you will be able to add or edit information, your registration

I hope that with this message I comply with that condition

We have 3 horses with COPD and I managed to not only relieve their breathing but to drop the temperature in their shelters by about 15 degrees. When I tried to divert water from the house for this purpose rather than running metered water during a drought, I found out that there are regulations against that. I'll go hunting info on thermal mass. Thanks.

Water comes from beneath the ground.

 

The water supply is commonly called a "well".

RE: [papercreters] Hi Newbie to the group... some insights?

We use solar screens in the summer and take them off in the winter.  The initial investment in the screens isn’t cheap but it’s well worth it.  They do a very good job of blocking the sun from coming in the windows but don’t expect to see through them at night.  We also have deciduous trees (lose leaves in winter) that shade most of the south and west side of the house.  That’s what we use in the brutal heat of South—Central TX to help with the heat.  It seems like I read somewhere that a 2’ overhang on the south side of a house would be enough to shade the windows in the summer but be narrow enough to allow the winter sun in.  Since we only have about 2 weeks of real winter I don’t worry so much about heating but it makes sense.

 

Good luck!

Pat

Has anyone thought that you could have a "thermal mass" next to the
south-facing windows? During the winter days, sunlight would come in
and heat the thermal mass, which would later release the heat into
the living area after the sunset. (The windows could be curtained
with insulating material after sunset to keep the radiated heat
within the dwelling.) If a solar-powered (of course) fountain was
placed against the inside-facing side of the thermal mass, during
the summer this could run a sheet of soothing water over the thermal
mass... the resulting evaporation would cause a cooling effect for
those hot summer days. Ah well.. just theorizing here.
