<BR /><DIV>build your own solar heater that boosts temperatures by 15 degrees!

<BR />While I have electricity out to the garage now, heat has been an issue all
<BR />winter long. Mattar graciously lent me his kerosene heater, which did an okay
<BR />job of taking the bite off the chill. Insulating the garage would go a long way
<BR />to help keep the bitter Vermont cold out, but that’s a project for another day.
<BR />I decided instead to take advantage of the south-facing side of the garage and
<BR />build a solar furnace to collect some of that sunshine just bouncing straight
<BR />off my garage. My dad built one years ago and said he recorded a 110-degree
<BR />temperature differential between inlet and outlet. And I had enough scrap
<BR />materials around the basement to do something similar to what my dad built years
<BR />ago.
