1. Lean to greenhouse on the southwest side of the house to give us solar gain - hot air through the living room windows and plant growing space. made from concrete blocks recycled from a demolition, recycled polycarbonate roofing sheets and a greenhouse from freecycle. We are also trying a rock filled heat store under the floor to store excess greenhouse heat. You can see the built in channel for a planting bed. |
