Additional Information
This video download shares with you the whole process of designing and building a home that is super efficient, comfortable and inexpensive. It gives you ideas and resources you can use when remodeling or building from scratch. It can even be useful if you are just trying to live more efficiently with what you have.
You're taken around the home, both inside and out to see the ideas as they were built and why. The novel electrical systems are explained in detail, both how to build and how to use. The plumbing systems are explained, so having both hot water and a warm house on far less energy and with better comfort, makes sense. Lastly, the thinking and ideas involved in building this home must be a little unconventional in order to create an unconventional home. We share those ideas.
TESTIMONIALS
I’m part way through your marvelous video on your home; it’s just first rate. Very Larry W, if you read my drift. Soft spoken, spilling over with practical wisdom, elegant insights and style, Shadow is omnipresent. Truly great stuff. Marvelously catatonic!

I had a chance to review the entire DVD this evening. Quite impressive! It is neat to have your house, with all of its embodied wisdom, so well documented. You are a natural in front of the camera. I thought I knew just about everything about your house, but there was plenty for me to learn.
I like the before/after segment with you showing the layout of the wall radiant tubing. Nice job blending in construction photos throughout, and getting the cats in there too. Thanks for sharing it with me.

I was very impressed with the quality of the video. I like the music too! The strongest parts of the video were scenes where you show something at work and describe it, or discuss a hidden feature exposed, such as what goes on inside the walls with the radiant heat (and maybe someday radiant "cool").
My favorite part was your testing the flammability of the different roofing material! I know it was a bit of a divergence from the flow of the rest of the video, but it was fascinating and it made a very strong impression on me about the importance of picking the right material for a building envelope in a hot dry climate.
