I'm hoping that the technology might have improved since the early days of geothermal, but time will tell.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642836504821695236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30590907.post-80091873542878193212008-08-16T04:09:00.000-04:002008-08-16T04:09:00.000-04:00I love drilling and all that stuff.

I had a client the other day where they had to drill straight down through nearly 60 metres of clay before they found the rock (and therefore the water). Lots of yummy sludge. <BR/>One day I will tell my best drilling story: involving lashing rain, encroaching darkness, broken compressors, extreme cold and wellington boots full of icy mud. Such nail biting drama and hugely satisfying (and, of course, so very dull for everybody else).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30590907.post-73153215892932264022008-08-15T18:28:00.000-04:002008-08-15T18:28:00.000-04:00Watch out.

My parents built a new home on a acreage a few years ago, and it's taken till now to get all the tweaks worked out in their geothermal system: for a year or two it either quit, overheated the house, or kept it too cool. Their vents look like the ones you explain--smoke detectors. They're easier to adjust, that's for sure, ad they don't get stuck!Benjamin Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661489036836711335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30590907.post-52936354239798350682008-08-15T14:53:00.000-04:002008-08-15T14:53:00.000-04:00Hi Amanda,What a brilliant bit of kit to have in t...Hi Amanda,<BR/><BR/>What a brilliant bit of kit to have in the back garden! Your kids must've loved it.<BR/><BR/>Wonderful way to heat your home too. Hope it all goes smoothly when the storm passes.<BR/><BR/>AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
