JamesI hear gunshots as neighbours are out shooting Bambie, or Bullwinkel, depending on the season.I really don't care for venison much, as I find it a bit dry, and free of any fat. Many of the deer around here tend to graze with the dairy herd of my neighbour's Holsteins.I am not much into guns, and killing animals, for pleasure, or sport.I sure don't need to fill my freezer with a moose.The stone barn has walls two foot thick, of solid sandstone, and limestone. The roof jas four inches of, sprayed on the inside, urethane foam. The floor, five inches thick, concrete,has heating tubes cast in, the glycol will be heated and distributed, from an electric hot water tank , not using the elements, as it is being heated using an air to liquid heat pump, that draws the heat out of air that is down to -30 CCheers Warren

That's funny Warren i grew up in Michigan and had to wear leather jackets not to be cool but because it was cold as hell I got lost in a snow bank once we were jumping off of roofs into them and I got lost for a while .leather works great with a liner .I been interested in thermal Cline's for some time now .it seems we build without thinking about natures way of creating warmth . big wasters. You might put up plastic on you barns and heat them to continue your work it's would be nice to keep half warm .and just build over it as a permitant thermal barrier .I heard ist so cold there that some shopping malls are underground ? Hear about all the Lowe's closing up there ? Do you hunt ? Must be a lot of deer and moose there .

Trust me on this, you need clothes in Canadian Winter. Anything out in the breezes just gets frost bitten, and simply turns black and falls off.If you have any doubt, why in the world would Canadians have embraced prickly wool Stanfield's long johns, plaid flannel shirts, and fleece lined pants? Oh, and Sorrel felt lined boots, a parka, and a toque? We like to survive until at least spring.Last winter I completely disappeared under a snow bank back of the big barn, one morning, hence, the serious need for snow shoes, for tromping across the landscape.Cheers Warren

Well what I mean is that it's free and having two or three ways to fall back on makes you very free. I'm not stopping till I do that with energy water food ...clothes I can take or leave them .😂

The wind around here is fearsome.It is hard to believe people settled on such a place, I think, sometimes.I designed and built wind generators for years, and used them for decades, before cheap, and efficient photo voltaic panels came out.Like solar cells, they work, but I think we can do even better understanding the true nature of where energy emerges.By all means, exploit everything out there, rather than pay the power company.However, we are very, very, close to solving a major world problem, and should keep at it.Cheers Warren

Hi guysThe big hundred and seventy year old barn is getting a new lease on life, along with the stone barn, which is to be my workshop.It has been a huge job this year, to do this before the snow comes.You can just see the heat pump mounted at the extreme right of the photo. This is a air to liquid heat pump which can take heat out of the air down to -30 C. This heat is stored in an ordinary electric domestic hot water tank, and then circulated through high temperature plastic tubes cast inside 5" of re-enforced concrete floor.It is underground cable grid power for now, but since the roof faces just the correct angle to the Southern sun, I want to put solar voltaic panels up there.Since I have the resistance elements already, in the hot water tank, they would be an ideal way of testing Rosemary's 17x circuits.The big barn roof is getting replaced in a few weeks, with heavy ribbed steel, as we straighten the roof rafters up there, and put new strapping timbers to fasten it to.I just have to put another window in the stone barn, and fit the doors in place. Oh, and a wood stove, to try to burn all the rubbish wood.Getting my machine shop machines, and electronics bench back in play will be so good.Cheers Warren
