I'm saving your hotair pdf for any Just-in-case.
One never knows when oil prices might shoot up to $15 a gallon.

I would be love to have a few collectors heating up my basement.
But, since the south side side of my house is the front, facing the street..
My dream of a warm basement is destined to remain a dream..

I don't think backyard collectors would be very effective,
since I would have run the in/out ducts about 95' to the house,
and they would have to be underground..
