	OUr present plan for the water system is to use the existing water well, and use an air-powered water pump, with Arduino controller - to pressurize a water tank. This pressure will feed the house sink and shower. In the summer, we will use a 100 foot length of 3/4" black water tubing, spread on the roof, as a very simple but effective water heater. Its inherent storage is 2.6 gallons of water in the 100 foot long tube. In the winter, the masonry stove will have a hot water tank, providing hot water from the stove heat.

	Hi Marcin, I've been studying the housing-unit you have been working on. It can be easily improved with a little number of changes. I'm going to meet this week my mates to work with this, but, in advance, I can say:		*I think you could break the symmetry of the model... we don't live in Renaissance! It's better to split the uses of the house. One side for sleeping, one side for living, the wc in the middle to isolate both (noise). This way the house will have a wider living room with more space for windows (lights, views). The frontal door could be slightly shifted to the side of the living room, so this one could maintain its main entrance role.

You can use trombe technology, for improving the thermic isolation of the model. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombe_wall

One half for raining water, another one for recycling the grey waters of kitchen and bathroom. You could consider also in using composting toilets technology, in order to waste less water and for composting for the planting area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composting_toilet
	~~(We'll have to study this better).~~		*You have to study the orientation of the building. The sun orientation will tell you what you can plant in each area, this issue will change the too-much regular dimensions of the planting areas. The sun orientation will tell you also which is the suitable side for the rooms and which is the side for living.

(if you don't have thought in this, tell me what you have used before with success)

	It is convenient to work in units of 8 feet, because standard dimensional lumber is 8 feet long. That's why we planned on 16x16 foot inside, and trusses would be 24 feet - for overhangs over the walls.

	~~May be too much information for the mail... ;-)~~
	~~I think we'll work on this this week, and we'll use the wiki to share our thoughts. If you can answer my doubts it'll be great for us to decide better.~~


	~~You have a wonderful project there indeed. Keep it on. ;-)~~
