I lived in an apartment for seven years in North Carolina that had solar hot water panels on the roof for heating water and a booster gas hot water heater. It was a very good setup. We never ran out of hot water, and our bills were very low because most of the heating came from solar.
Just another way of thinking about these things.
Tinyhouse: I am very interested in tiny houses, and in fact gave a presentation last year about them to a bunch of architects. I'm buying a tiny condo, and I'm excited yet a bit wondering about living in such a small place. It'll be like a Airstream or a ship--a place for everything (which is not too much, by choice) and everything in its place. My tiny Bike Friday will fit in well. It's nice to know that you are into tiny houses, too!
