Low-Cost Sunroom
Growing into a Farm leaned onto the fluffy side, so I wanted to give you a more technical ebook next. Low-Cost Sunroom: Heating Your Home With Free Solar Energy
is based on a booklet my father wrote while building low-cost
greenhouse add-ons in the early 1980s. You can learn a lot about
passive-solar space heating from this updated ebook, and the book also
includes step-by-step directions and diagrams to expedite building your
own sunroom.
Here's the blurb:
A sunroom built onto the south side of an existing building is the most cost-effective way to capture the energy of the sun. The add-on not only lowers your heating bills, it also provides space to start seeds in the spring and to extend your gardening season in the fall.
This book includes 32 photos and diagrams, including scale drawings to make your building project simple.
The rest of this week's lunchtime series is going to regale you
with the first section of Low-Cost Sunroom, but if you want to read it all, you'll have to splurge 99 cents on a copy
of the complete book (which can
be read on nearly any device). I'll also be setting the book free on
Friday so my loyal readers can pick up a copy without paying, and
those of you who prefer a pdf copy can email me Friday to get an
emailed copy instead.
As a side note, you can also read about my top fifty favorite homesteading books in Best Books for Homesteaders, a free download when you sign up for my book email list. To join the list, just go to Wetknee Books and input your name and email address in the form on the sidebar.
Thanks for reading (and double thanks
if you find the time to leave a review on Amazon). I hope you learn as much from this ebook as I did!
