RE: Going Off Grid ?....Ice Box Storage Fridge and Modern Day Ice House.
Mike Oheler notes something interesting about building underground houses. That cold flows downhill.
The earth being about 60 degrees year round, when you heat the air to a comfortable 70 degrees, the cold from the walls flows down to the lowest parts of the house.
With this, he has even kept icecream frozen in hole dug in the lowest part of the house.
Yes agreed, in many homes where I live people still have sand floors in their basements. They would dig holes to place cardboard boxes of carrots and potatoes and apples cool and fresh all winter from their harvests of their gardens. Thanks
