Hey, this is all music to my ears!

And okpiddler is completely right on about putting in the GSHP ground work before building a house.

The problem gets a bit tougher when you're in the city, because so many city lots are 50' x 100'.

But if you do the earth work first, it sure would be a lot easier.

Fantastic idea...

Got more thinking along this line?
