By popular demand, pix of the solar end of my passive solar house. Mind, I did not clean or tidy, and every speck of dust seems to have mysteriously magnified itself. That said... This is the west end of the solar room; southern exposure is to the left. Yes, that's a live cat on the coffee table, and an African Grey parrot on top of the cage. Sheepskin on the floor, reindeer skin from Iceland on the rocking chair, naugahide on the couches.
Here's the woodstove that heats most of the house, and the fieldstone chimneypiece that acts as a heat sink. And yes, my tabletop Xmas is still up. Please don't tell Wednesday.
Looking east now, with southern exposure on right.
Aaand...this is trhe kitchen.
Close-up of stove and chimneypiece with herbs. Irish hubby did the interior stonework, I did the exterior (coming soon).
Balcony to the second floor bedrooms. Yes, the heat rises!
This shot is a couple of years old. The front door has since been stripped and re-done in dark red. We had to cannibalize a stone wall from one of the pastures to do the front.
Hope that satisfies everyone's curiosity. Stalkers, I made it easy for you!
