A viewer had suggested that, the thermal mass might work better if it had been collecting heat all summer long. I was curious what would happen if I warmed the water up in it and just seen if it could

So I have been keeping an eye on the thermal mass for a little while and I noticed that the temp never really seems to drop below 29ish degrees. Pretty interesting that even with a few night of temps in

I finally got the end walls of my greenhouse insulated! I'm hoping having both walls insulated and having all the gaps closed up will really help improve how well the greenhouse can store the heat from

This weak everyone has been down with the sickness at some point or another. It probably hit my wife and E the hardest. There wasn't a ton happening while trying to keep everyone healthy but we got some

I have been testing how a thermal mass might help to keep the greenhouse warm at night. So far I have found very little success with it collecting heat and holding it. However I have been surprised to

I was kind of thinking this is what would happen. I'm seeing a little bit of icing in the rain barrels. If this thermal mass is going to help, I'm going to have to do something to help keep them warmer.

Filling up 165 gallon thermal mass with water could become expensive. Luckily we had a thaw on our rain barrel and was able to use it to fill them most of the way, but we also got creative and used another

After lots of debate and listening to all of your input, I have decided where to set up the thermal mass. Thank you to everyone who helped me out with your feedback and really made me think about how I

After posting a video about setting up a thermal mass for the greenhouse, I had a few people with differing views as to whether or not the rain barrel thermal would make a difference. This really got me

I'm getting ready to get the barrels in position for the greenhouse heat sink but I'm not 100% sure of a couple things. Are they more effective if they are all touching? How far off the ground should they

The temperatures have continued to be unusually cold and I haven't been able to do a whole lot of work outside. Instead, I have been concentrating on hauling material to the property and getting things

I finally finished the thermal Mass Water Feature in the gethermal greenhouse. The results were AMAZING. The temperature outside last night was 16 degrees and inside the greenhouse we were reading 34 for

One of the big mistakes we made was building a shelter that was too big.  It consumed a tremendous amount of our time, energy and resources and if I had to do it again, I would build much smaller.
