Hey Sandy,
   
  That's disturbing and very close to home (living just north of Lake 
Ontario).  Perhaps ths is a downside of global warming!

Fish Virus in Northeast Spreading to Other Fish Species
Cornell researchers have found that a deadly fish virus detected in
the northeastern United States for the first time in June in two species
has probably spread to at least two more.

Kathyann,
I have been asking a similar question.  I was
considering a system similar to a ground vented heat
pump (can't remember the correct name for that
system).  I wanted to use the pipes in ground to allow
the circulation medium to cool down, but instead of
consuming energy by using a heat exchanger just
sending it through coils in the floor.  After getting
past the "that's not the way you do it"
  I finally got an opinion that it would work but not
very efficiently, that the energy used by the
circulating system would be more than that used by a
conventional AC.


I think that a whole house circulation system that
would send air from basement to top of house and down
again might be good.  The air circulation should for
stall any mold growth.


My current plan is to build a house with rammed earth
walls that would be insulated on the outside so that
temp changes would be very slow.  re: heat sink.  I
will use an exterior wood fired furnace, since I have
100 acres of woods to thin out.  The furnace would
heat water which would circulate through coils in
floor.  I'm still thinking about circulating fluid
through the ground (about 55-65 degrees?) then running
it through coils in floor, but need lots more
information about that.
  I'm interested in any feedback you all have. 
Opinions or good sources on information.  Am I a
complete idiot? or just partly?
Van Dell
