An underground home can save ridiculous amounts of money in energy costs and generally look unique and interesting, at the price of a larger initial outlays. However, conventional housing continues to dominate, in part because anything as unusual as an underground house must be extremely difficult to make and there will be unforeseeable disasters, such as cave-ins.

Slope is a cut straight back into the side of a hill. Bermed is, technically, underground, but only because earth is dumped over the top of it. All types have several shared traits.

Free Solar Greenhouse Plans. Build Your Own Eco Friendly Greenhouse That Connects to Your Home Calling a greenhouse solar is somewhat redundant since all greenhouses are solar heated to some extent. The greenhouse itself traps the heat each day and anyone who has been inside one for a few minutes on a sunny day knows how warm the sun can be. A greenhouse acts as a natural solar collector on sunny days but it does not retain the sun's heat at night.

Consequently 75 to 80 percent of the cost of heating a greenhouse by conventional energy sources is expended at night. To retain the sun's heat you need something the heat can be stored in, a heat sink. Passive System: The sun's warmth is deposited and held in the thermal-mass heat sink during the day. Active System: The sun's heat warms the transfer fluid (water or air) in a solar collector, later fluid is pumped to another location and stored for redistribution as heat.

Pole-style construction provides an economical method of building a drive-thru shed, even if the shed is built on a sloping lot. Tired of moving the riding mower every time I wanted to get to the tiller and vice-versa, I originally designed this garden shed with doors on each end. This would allow easy access to garden tools. Or, if you wished to pull a garden tractor with implement or trailer behind it, you can drive in one door. When you wanted to use the tractor again, simply open the opposite door and drive out.

Here's a handsome Colonial-style storage shed that's one of the most versatile, well-designed backyard buildings we've seen. In fact, it's really two sheds in one: a 10 x 12-ft. toolshed for general storage and an 8 x 10-ft. open-bay extension that's ideal for keeping firewood stacked and dry.

The extension is also great for storing large items that might not easily fit into the main shed, such as lawnmowers, bicycles, patio furniture, wheelbarrows and stepladders. We built our combination shed on a 4-in. -thick concrete slab, which makes an extremely durable and weatherproof floor. You could also construct a wood-frame floor using pressure-treated 2 x 6 lumber and a plywood deck, and support the assembly on solid concrete blocks or pressure-treated 6 x 6 skids. We sheathed the structure with 1 x 6 tongue-and-groove cedar siding, which is naturally resistant to rot and insects. Both roofs have a 10-in. pitch--the slope rises 10 in. for each horizontal foot.
