I bought a bunch of the poly carbonate florescent light tube covers and used them to cover 1/2 inch black pipe. I had quiet a few lengths setup in the back yard and used a 12 volt pump to circulate the water through them and through a radiator I made out of CPVC in one of the bedrooms. With the heat vent sealed off in that room it kept that room about 8 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. (when it was a nice sunny day) Problem was that in the DFW area there just wasn't enough days that weren't partly cloudy to cloudy to make it work out. I wound up scrapping it, but wish I'd have saved it for down here now.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-41833031344354395932009-10-24T21:05:44.889-05:002009-10-24T21:05:44.889-05:00You more than deserve a day of leisure.
