I added 4 solar tubes to my house last year. Well worth the money. You can even tell when clouds pass by overhead. It even works with moonlight.
Personally, I think you guys should use similar colors (greens and yellows) from the LHBA website for these forums. These blues and grays we have currently make me feel as if I'm on another site...
i just had a thought though, what if you had one of these attached to the south side of the house, maybe 3 or 4 feet into the ground, and the "roof" of the greenhouse ended below your 1st floor...
You could always try a Mike Oehler style inground greenhouse. It's even easier to heat as it's surrounded by earth on all but one side.

A pony walks into a bar
He meekly approaches the bartender, "May I have a beer?"
The bartender says, "What did you say? I couldn't hear you."
The pony politely asks, "May I have a beer?"

Two of them REPEATEDLY tell everyone their height and weight.

Sorry. I just don't get this one.
Doubt this cost much to build:

Not a B&P but the logs they do have look gorgeous. It's a fun design.
Sorry to have to school in front of the "new kids" Peter but Scandinavian chinkless is definitely not the best method. :-P
Butt and pass is definitely the best. I like sittin' inside, looking at...
Tommie, sign up for the email alert. You will be notified when a class opens up before there's an announcement on the web site.
It worked out great for me!

I don't mean to pick on Yuhjn, but I have to comment on this statement, too.
Who are we to determine how much money one person can have? By what standard, that is not arbitrary, are we to make...
I'd really like to caution everyone against class warfare. It seldom does what people think it will.
Who cares how much money someone has? If they made it ethically why should we fault them for...

I find lots of people don't like chest fridges/freezers. Not sure why. I guess they just hate rummaging around.
Me, I love digging through piles. Then again I'm not what you'd call a highly...
Doesn't look well insulated.
The first show for Ax Men is a free download on iTunes. Get it while you can.

I remember seeing the model for this in the atrium at the Patent Office a few months ago. It was very cool and impressed everybody who looked at it, but yes, I do believe it would jack up material...
We're out on the east coast in Virginia, so it'll be a long flight, but we're very excited that we're finally able to make time for the class!
Does anyone know if we receive confirmation after we...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Skip's house had nothing on the logs but I couldn't find it. That's great. Thanks guys. This is something I was planning to do for my future place.

I have a couple of questions about Skip's house.
First, when was it built? I know it was used for Northern Exposure, so I'm guessing it had to have gone up since at least the 1980's. But I...
Hawkiye is right. I hope this isn't inappropriate to post. So, in order to increase appropriateness, I've decided to try and think of ways Ron Paul can help Log Home Builders and believers in private...
Yep! Made my $100 dollar donation, as did my wife. It's the first time for both us for campaign donations.
For those not in the know. November 5th was a donation day set up by Ron Paul fans. The...
