    I’d love to see a detailed build plan for this. Having the exact dimensions and materials would make a project like this much easier to try.

    You could earn an additional income if you would create a” how to Manuel “ for us to purchase so we could have this knowledge in our hands. We could then either build it ourselves or hire someone to build it for us. as I’m a 73 yr old Widow and cannot do this. Wish my husband knew of this process when he was alive, he was a carpenter/ electrician, plumber, Jack of all trades. He would have loved to build this concept.

    If there is a set of plans And there was a way to acquire them, that would be fantastic.

    If you don&apos;t want to waste the heat in the summer and you still like to give it a job you can bury a 4 inch pipe in the sand at the top of the heat sink box and allow it to circulate through your electric or gas clothes dryer set on no heat / tumble mode. This is for those who still like to use a dryer in the summer if they don&apos;t use a clothes line.

    This looks amazing. We built a 11x13 greenhouse last summer from a kit last summer. I wintered over my dwarf citrus trees in it. Despite caulking every leaking spot I could find, it cost nearly $500 to heat it for each of the coldest months of winter. That makes for very expensive oranges and lemons! I would love to have more guidance on the sand battery. I live in PA outside of Pittsburgh, close to Amish communities.

    I am so happy to find this video. I need a back up source of heat in winter in Maine. I&apos;ve almost been killed by propane 2x so that&apos;s not an option for me. Wood stove is too much work and dangerous in my tiny cabin built off pine. I&apos;ve seen lots of ideas but this seems to be the best yet that truly seems attainable with some help from a friend who can build etc. Thank you!❤
