My Uncle Mike is crazy, but I think it is the good kind of crazy.
He lives in a new home in the woods that he built with his own two hands.
It looks like he built it, too, because it is crooked & warped around the edges. Obviously he didn’t think what he was doing, although he likes the locale. He has confided in myself and others that section of the reason he enjoys it is that no a single would ever try to rob a locale so ugly. It makes people think he is poor, or insane, but there is a method to his madness. He has a geothermal heat pump connected to an underground bunker, & that is where he spends most of his time. A geothermal heat pump pulls energy right of the ground, & then you can use it to power your home. Because of the name some people think that it is a heating pump, like the a single in your central Heating & Air Conditioning system, but this is not the case at all. A heating pump is used to overheated your house, as a section of your gas furnace system. A geothermal heat pump uses the “geothermal heat” of the earth itself to harness kinetic energy, so while it can power your electric gas furnace, it can also power every other electric component you own! Having a geothermal heat pump means you don’t have to be connected to the main power grid, & are exempt from power outages except for the most serious cases. Uncle Mike is crazy, although he does gave some good ideas.
