We built an earth-sheltered home and shop building w/ geothermal in-floor heating. (ICF w/ 8" conc. walls). So many people show up thinking we are liberals. It's always a fun interaction when it dawns on them.

That is really great. Looks very good.. and cheap to run. Radiant floors have got to be some of the best heating. Is geothermal when you drill a deep well and run a closed loop system that takes residual heat from the ground and then uses heat exchangers to bring it up to 70 or so..? Runs off 3 phase 220 I imagine..?

I'd love to have the opportunity to build my own with everything I've learned. Of course the shop would be bigger than the house ;). Good job.
