A word of caution: I have long considered doing this but have not thus far because I've not found that anyone has designed a way to keep undesirable molds and other bad stuff from growing inside such a tube. Legionnaire's Disease is of the sort of respiratory problems that can develop from breathing intake air in a building where ductwork is difficult or impossible to clean. The problem is moisture over a long period of time. Perhaps up in Maine the lower ground temperature would ameliorate the issue.

I still dream of such a system.

Thanks for the good, informative post, Susan Jane.
