Here’s another feature that my dream home will have:
Wheeee!: Awesome Tube Slide Should Replace Stairs – Gizmodo
Oh, you’re not aware of my plans for a dream home? It will feature:
- photovoltaic solar
- passive solar heat and hot water
- a cistern to catch rainwater
- a partially underground main living room
- a couple of fully underground rooms
- a greenhouse
- and now…an awesome tube slide
And my plan is for it to be located roughly here.
Quite eco-friendly! Just curious to know – how different/beneficial is a partially underground room from the ones which are above the ground?
I don’t know, exactly, but having insulation with an effective R value of infinity sure can’t hurt. Warm in winter, cool in summer. Sounds good to me!
