Hello all...
In my quest for sparking some more feedback and post on the forums - I continue to post threads like this. LOL Yes! It does contain an aquarium in the home design!!!
Just take a look at it. Offer some advice or just tell me I'm off my rocker. I think it's a good design, but I need some fresh eyes to point out some possible flaws.
As far as the aquarium goes, it is sunlit with solar tubes and vents into the green house. space next to the tank is a small closet for hanging accessories. An RO Unit will be going in the closet, so I will have to also install a water line and a drain line.
The house will be a passive solar house and use solar heating for water and some power. I also plan on having some windmills on top of the house to generate some of the electricity. This house is going to be built one day or another - so i have a few years to tweak it here and there as needed.
The fireplace is where it is because I want to use some of the heat coming from it to heat the greenhouse as well as the house. Winters here in Louisiana are very mild - and this should be plenty for what I want.
The above ground cellar is fortified and covered with dirt, and has a strong door placed on it.
The racks in the pantry is kind of what like wal-mart has for their milk section. When you come home from grocery shopping, you go in the pantry and put your canned goods (even home canned goods) into the rack from behind - in the pantry. They roll to the front, where you will use them when you cook. first in first out I think is what its called.
The house, not including the above ground cellar, front porch and green house is under 1900sqft by my calculations (which might be highly inaccurate.)
Anyways - I need some storage ideas as well as just some overall commentary on the design. Thanks.
