Pat, well done. I really appreciate you coming back with the reports.
We are still in the house in the woods with too much shade, but now I am approaching retirement and looking to build our last house.
It will have good sun as a requirement!
Picture a rambler with a roofed porch all the way around the south west east, on a south facing slope with an unfinished basement. Your lovely air collectors will be under that porch out of the weather but totally in the winter sun.
Also picture a metal roof, and a chase built in for the water piping from the roof to basement, and a basement just for tinkering with tanks and the like.
