Earth Tubes

We actually worked on the house today. It was the first time in months. We did some utility work that will be below the slab. Most of what we did today was installing earth tubes (or cooling tubes) for bringing cool air in from beneath our pasture, with more pipes providing a return for pushing air back out to the pasture to be re-cooled. This air conditioning system will only require a fan to circulate, rather than a energy hog compressor.
