TLDR: So basically this guy got ripped off by a for profit solar sales/lending company but is going to expand his solar array because the numbers do make sense as long as you don't get ripped off $20k pro solar video (with some good points) with a clickbait title

This is a NET ZERO house I designed and built in 2018 then lived in until this past sept when I sold it for a large profit. ZERO energy bills including a small hot tub. ROI was 8 years (including tax credit) New England has expensive energy though. Solar makes a lot of sense for many already...

Peter, Thanks for the invite! Its nice to know there is a fellow garage junkie close by!

From the reading I have done so far, I get the understanding that have "super insulated" 3 walls and roof. Is a bit of a money pit if you have a whole wall of inherently leaky doors. I have not done the calculations but I am sure there is a point where the high r value of the 3 walls and...

Its not so much the "freeness" that I care about as much as staying away from the corporate oil devils and reducing my fossil fuel consumption

sounds like I shouldn't worry so much about R value and maybe focus on getting that heat back in the most efficient way. (knowing that I'm fighting a losing battle) Im thinking a very efficient outdoor wood boiler with water storage and multiple radiant floor loops. As I have all the wood on...

Hi all, Its been a while since I last posted here but I always poke around and admire the great shops! Heres the deal I am currently designing my second garage as I have out grown my old one and the property it was on. I built my last shop as a place to tinker after work but it turned into me...

very nice work:thumbup: almost looks to nice for a temp. fix. i love the door latch setup, i may steal that. are the metal "pipes" on the inside of the doors for holding them open? if your foundation was good, do you think that the wood framing would stand up over time? what did you use to...

birdmayon- i'm young. i graduated khs in 2003. when were you there? howlingmad-how did you frame yours? other than the snow thing, how do you like the doors?

well it time for me to build the doors fro my 2-bay. i have 2 9x8 openings that i want to put carriage doors with no windows into. i'm going to need to insulate them really well because i live in nh. i'm thinking i will build the frame from steel and then cover the front with hardiboard t-111...
