congratulations :-) sounds like you are doing things right.

eeeww. erm, i mean, "how ecological" :-) and you contribute more heat
to the house in wintertime...
i like long hot showers. now that winter is here again, i'm thinking
again about making a greywater heat exchanger in the basement with
several plastic 55 gallon drums and a sump pump to move shower and
kitchen sink water back up into the waste line after it cools from
about 100 to 80 f.

merely fun. give 'em a copy of the humanure handbook for christmas.
nick (realizing that large enough structures for bunches of people
consuming electricity need no extra heating in wintertime, just good
natural cooling in summertime, but wondering how we avoid blowing
them up in cities, when they become crime-ridden after a few years.
paolo, please think about that.)
