so after the pile is done heating would you remove the coils, turn and then rebuild the pile? i think this is an amazing idea!

G'day,

I took a 50 degree Fahrenheit shower in Ottawa (Canada) over Christmas when
it was -4 degree F (-20 Celsius) and it was far from what I would call
warm...I even went back and tried a couple more times just to be
sure......It was certainly invigorating....perhaps its my antipodean
upbringing in Bendigo where on a cold night only gets down to about 23
degrees F. I prefer my poison hot....Yin:Yang - its what makes the world go
round!

All the best,

Darren Doherty

At the start of the October 2007 Permaculture Design Certificate Course
at
Quail Springs Learning Oasis and Permaculture Farm we faced a small
problem
- we had 30 people needing showers and no hot water.

Cold showers are tolerable. I have been taking them outdoors all winter
long.
When the ambient temperature is 40 degrees or so then 50 degree water
feels warm, really.
That is a cool way to take a shower and save energy; good for mind and
body.
And you have a great view of the sky and yard too. Truly inspiring.
