Hello,
I just discovered this site and it seems right up my alley. I'm just beginning an earthshelter rehab as my retirement home. Eventually, I intend to be off the grid. I know there's a ton of info for me here. Thanks for having me over. This is my first post anywhere ever.

You'll need a few more posts until you can do it. Sadly a requirement due to spammers.

Hello everyone.
I am new to this posting stuff, so have patience. A little about myself: I built this solar, passive house in 1980 in south central KS. We have lived here since then. As long as the sun shines, I need no heat at all. Last year I purchased 6 flat plate panels & 4-80 gal. storage tanks from a company that knows less than I, come to find out. I am told that what I get from the heating/storage system is all that I get. Nothing turns on or off, unless I do it. Nothing was ever mentioned by the company about thermostats, switches, expansion/drain-back or the like. So what I want to know is: Info. on what I should now do to get more bang for the bucks that have been spent. |

I'm not familiar with water storage/panel thermal mass systems, but I Am sure there's a lot of knowledge on this site for you. I'm still waiting to close on my earthshelter and get to work. I should sign papers this week. 3 more posts and I can show pics. Sorry I'm not smarter!

There's a way to put pics on here, but I don't know it yet.
