In the ’90s, I bought a passive solar heater from Dan Conroy in Grass Valley, Calif. basically a big box, triangular in cross-section, with a water tank painted black and double-walled clear polycarbonate glazing. Couldn’t be simpler. It’s worked flawlessly for 15 years. Every shower I take, I get a hit of both wonder and joy. This warm, sometimes hot water heated by sunshine and not nonrenewable resources. Such a non-brainer.
It’s been really warm last few days, like in the ’80s. I woke up at 2 last night, went out into the still-warm night, and took an outdoor solar-heated-water shower. The stars were out. Boy!
Getting ready to fly to Hong Kong next week to oversee printing of Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter. We’ve upped the press run to 15,000 due to early reactions to the book. At the same time we’ll be printing 3,000 copies of our mini(1-½” x 2¼”) tiny homes book. Is it cute! You can actually see what’s going on on the pages at that scale.
Jimmy Reed ‘s Ain’t that lovin’ ya baby just came on, SO the real stuff…
LOL, Lloyd when I read 'solar shower' and the date, I thought you were talking about the incoming CME we're having today…
Looking forward to the Tiny Home book, I can't imagine a better person to put it together, and the miniature is a wonderful idea! Make them into keychains!

Lloyd, Is Mikey Basich's Area 241 in your small homes book? He is the snowboarder up in Donner. Looking forward to it
Yep, he is our featured builder, with 10 pages on him and his house.
