<DIV></DIV>>I'm actually not intending to build here, we planning 
<DIV></DIV>>on moving in the next few years (we're "debating" 
<DIV></DIV>>between Central Missouri and Western Oregon), but with 
<DIV></DIV>>two kids and work we need something close by to look 
<DIV></DIV>>at. I'm not concerned about heating, whatever method 
<DIV></DIV>>we use for the structure I plan on a combo of masonry 
<DIV></DIV>>stove and solar (active and passive) heating. I've 
<DIV></DIV>>been looking into using "breadbox" solar heaters for 
<DIV></DIV>>the heat source for a hydronic slab.

<DIV></DIV>>"When I look into the abyss it stares back at me, but not as the cold 
<DIV></DIV>>dark beast you perceive it to be. 
<DIV></DIV>>When I am gazed upon by the abyss I see the eyes of a mother, a lover, an old friend. 
<DIV></DIV>>When I look into the warm familiar eyes of the abyss I see that which 
<DIV></DIV>>needs me as much as I have need. 
<DIV></DIV>>I remember, I rejoice, I renew!"
