Rytheric posted:Someone suggested I looked into hydronic heating. I ended up buying a book that I hoped would teach me how to build solar panels, but instead it seemed Ike a survey of different types of solar and what to do with it which referenced heating water using solar thermal panels as observed below. Hydronic heating/cooling is excellent, look into solar thermal evacuated tubes or plate collectors. You can run the lines with pex, which is cool and good for house construction. As for floor insulation, it doesn’t have to be too ridiculous, but yeah you’re gonna wanna throw down some foam insulation sheets under the subfloor. I have zero advice on actually doing this to code tho. Works well for heating the floor of a truck too, no fire barrels needed. I guess you could run a line to stick a heat collector inside a fire barrel to heat the fluid in the system. Don’t, though. Keep all fire outside of the vehicle, or in a pellet stove with chimney or whatever. A few stray sparks and your poo poo will burn to the ground.

Yeah, you can even buy subflooring with aluminum channels pre molded in for the PEX lines, it's pretty cool.

Metal detectors on abandoned land are also cool in our region (I'm in VA) for finding Civil War stuff. Collectors pay big bucks for old ammo, coins, uniform buttons, etc. When I had a stall at a flea market, there was a dude who sold all kinds of crazy crap he found with his metal detector, from vintage license plates to farm tools to... an actual ball and chain for slaves.  (that poo poo should've gone to a museum or something; I wouldn't feel right turning a buck on that)

I will look into it and see if I can unlock all the beeps and boops. It is a bounty hunter TK4. I ordered it from Amazon. I didn't want one with one of those newfangled screens.

So update on the land of MurderHaus and TimberShitters. The soil scientist got back to me. It appears that the land can only support a three bedroom house at max using modern techniques. Two bedrooms if I go for a traditional system. Unfortunately, even if a house only has one bedroom such as the MurderHaus which only has a loft, a house is regarded as two bedrooms at minimum. So I am only allowed one MurderHaus unless I call the other a shed (I may make the second one smaller to try different sizes.) I also have to move the well. The down side to the modern system is that its patented in a way that im not allowed to build it myself

Ry, when you say "modern techniques" I assume that means a pressurized septic system? Those things are expensive as gently caress to build, and a headache to maintain compared to the 'ol solids tank and leech field approach.

Elviscat posted:You can't necessarily buy the components or access detailed instructions for building it though. Literally it's a series of panels of cinderblock glued together with sand around them to create a drain field. The problem is that it requires a glue that is only given to a specific manufacturer. So the manufacturer is the only person that is allowed to build them til the patent expires as you can't get the glue elsewhere.

I may be able to actually do it myself now. Guess I need to add Subterranean ShitterBlocks to the project list. Here is a link to the ShitterBlocks method. https://www.tjpanel.com Soil scientist says it should cost around $7000-8000 to do. We shall see what Ry can do to cut down the expenses lol.

Its not cheaping out. It's called doing the labor ones self. I could build this septic system relatively easily. My main concern is the amount of trees and bamboo that will lose their lives as the result of the county requiring running water for a permanent dwelling.

Okay lads, ladies, and non-binaries, while I was driving to the middle of nowhere to investigate the sinking railroad, I had a prophetic day dream of the MurderHaus in all its glory. So my blueprint was all wrong. Well not entirely wrong but it was 90 degrees off from where it needs to be and the kitchen should adjoin the porch not the shitter. So here is where I explain my obsession with French doors. So the French doors in the layout below (anyone have a recommendation for decent free house modeling software, or should I pull of the Sims 3?) Are facing towards the southern sky. This will allow me to sit in front of them and mediate in the sun with a view of nature. One of my favorite things about the GroverTruk is that I can park it anywhere to eat fast food and just sit and look out at nature while I eat. French doors allow me to do that (like sliding doors I guess) but without being fully exposed to the elements. New layout also second MurderHaus is smaller now.  Lofts seem to be excluded in a lot of modeling apps. Rytheric fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Feb 13, 2021 |

Paramemetic posted:Saw a number of places in Ladakh with systems like these for warm water. You're not gonna get like steaming water out of it but you can get a shower that is pleasant at 15000 feet above sea level. You want to put them high so you can gravity feed them if possible because if you need electricity to pump or pressurize it you might as well use the same electricity to heat it. You also want it like basically directly above where you're using it because you'll lose heat into the pipes, but using rubber piping instead of like, actual pipes helps. You totally can get steaming water out of a system like this, it's mostly a function of volume of water and time spent in the heating pipes. So if you use a skinny pipe the water is hotter but there's less of it. As to PEX piping, it's worth noting it doesn't hold up under UV long term.

You get a black copper pipe inside a reflective box in the sun and it's possible to get bubbles out the top of it on hot days. Not quite boiling, but it wants to.

So while I'm moving forward with the land of MurderHaus, the seller for the 3 acre lot i was talking about is losing their mind and rapidly dropping the price and is now selling it for $6000. I am emotionally torn because I want that property too, but if I buy it, i would have to use some of the funds I need to buy the land of MurderHaus. This is a gamble as I may end up losing the land of MurderHaus if I can't recoup the deposit as fast as necessary. Edit: by emotionally torn I mean binge eating Mac n cheese in the KFC parking lot drinking diet mountain dew. Ive been here like 2 hours.

Perhaps you should consider pocket doors as well, think of all the space you can save when you don’t have to account for the swing of a door in your rooms.

I want to move into a nice town in CT here and motherfuckers want $80,000 for 1.2 acres. The worst part is that poo poo is selling.
