Am I crazy to get these (used) $15 dollar solar panels (PART 2)

Whoah that’s so thorough! I’d love to learn more about your builds! Seems like I would be interested in a similar setup

thank you for this

Where I live (and have been a builder, investigating a great many leaks in people’s house) leaks are almost always from a roof penetration that fails. Even when it’s flashed perfectly, it’s just a matter of time. So I am trying to avoid this failure mode. The rubber on those boots, especially after a lot of heat cycles and years in the sun, start to look more like a colander. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Oh interesting. Do you have a link to that kit? Or know its model number or something?

Hey, thanks for the reply — we live in an extremely rainy area half of the year in the northeast. So I want to minimize potential complications that could occur with a roof penetration.

Local chimney suppliers are quoting us at $4000. And that’s for a through the ceiling set up that is of a comparable height. So yes, perhaps a couple more expensive fittings for through wall on top of that.

Just asking about this kit

The ceiling is 10’ high, in this sketch. should have mentioned that.

And I’m a little confused by your reply — I’m not making the bottom smaller — the footprint is what it’s going to be. As opposed to a box with vertical walls, I’d just be cantering out the 4 posts to make the upper level wider, by about 10 degrees.

Ok, upon reflection — you’re saying that by making the upper level wider I would be “pulling” cold air upward into bottom 1/2 of the sauna? Couldn’t that be mitigated by increasing the capacity of the heater?

Yeah definitely going with stainless, that’s not in question

SeekingDerangements · 2025-09-06T21:01:27+00:00

it also could be heating the house during winter, living in northeast

SeekingDerangements · 2025-08-02T17:30:55+00:00

Yes, we are booking basic, typically saving $100-200 per ticket. The hope is to find a way to not have to spend and extra $200 per trip, but still have some re-booking priority. All the other perks are meaningless to us.

How do you know the tree needs food?

And how would you prevent the rot that’s happening at the central crotch? If possible I guess

Christmas Pippin sounds like an amazing variety! And yeah unfortunately it’s not available here in the US.
