Upstairs watertanks

Page 56: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

Pumping water to the upstairs tank

Page 57: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts
Page 58: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

Upstairs tanks again.

This time with water in them(& a big lobster on 

top)!

Page 59: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

In the winter, the water from the “hot” water tank heats up when it moves through the coils wrapped around the stove pipe. 

We also heat much of our water in a pot on the wood stove. 

Page 60: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

In the summer, water from the “hot” water tank moves through the solar heater tank (in the grey box).

In both summer and winter, The water moves without a pump.

Since heat rises, the hot water moves to the upstairs “hot” water tank by itself.

Page 61: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

Sunlight heats the water in the solar heater tank

Page 62: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

The lid to the solar tank keeps the heat in at night and on cloudy days.

Page 63: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

Water from the upstairs tanks moves by gravity to the shower.

The shower is in the  outdoor closet we built last winter.

Heat for the house comes from the wood stove.

And from sunlight coming in the windows.

Page 70: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

Most of the windows face south to get the sun’s heat  & light.

The greenhouse has sliding  glass doors to let in even more sunlight.

Solar panelsprovide all the electricity

Page 72: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

Electricity is stored in  car batteries under the bench (for when it’s dark or cloudy).

Page 73: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

Vent for batteries is behind back of bench

Page 74: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

Our refrigerator looks like a chest freezer

Can you guess why?

Page 75: Where i am from -some belfast and cabin parts

The refrigerator is in  an outdoor closet(it’s behind the white door).

Can you guess why it’s not in the house?
