The same as spring water except the well was dug down to get it. You can also use what is called a well point which you drove into the ground to the water.<br />Another option is to have a well driller come in and sink a well casing [about 6" in diameter] as far down as needed to the water. The casing generally went down to where it was not ne... [ More ]

I too, would like the peace and quiet. Not having heating and/or ac is the biggest plus for me. Tornado proof, what's not to love? How cool is that? Now if you have spring water, you would be all set.

His entrance faced south and built his home into the excavation and after learning from his past mistakes (trying to bury shipping containers), he put in some of those solar tubes for the back end of his house. He had some minor leaks but got them sorted out and they allow for enough light during the day for him to not have to turn on any lights. I've seen t... [ More ]

A lot of methods out there from mirrors to reflective material to make mirrors. I also seen where you can buy reflective material in fair size sheets to redirect the sun.

Looks like problem solved once I got to thinking about it.

While I was looking around I remembered an article I read some years ago about where they pull sunlight into a tube and down into the building from the roof top or where they need to put it to gather the sunlight. I think it was in Japan where they did it. Brightens the whole room. The tube was fitted on the inside with directional reflective material some how.
