So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Solar Power Houses and Their Benefits

By Justin Edward

You have probably seen those homes that are built with these big windows that are tinted. Have you questioned why these homeowners would want such large windows? The reason behind them having these windows is simple, their house is using the power of the sun to produce their needed electricity and to provide heat.

All houses could be built with solar power with several small adjustments. You also have the capability of constructing a home powered by solar, which can help you have big savings for the future on your power bills, for heating and electricity. In some instances you won't have a monthly bill.

There are just a few suggestions when building your solar power home. It depends on where you live as to which side of the house you should put the most windows on. For the most part is more common to assume that the sun rises more toward the south side of your home.

This is the side where you want to have the most windows in your home. That way you are allowing the sun to shine through and warm your home naturally. You also need to make sure that there are no trees that are directly close to the house that may prevent the sun from shining directly into the home.

Don't use dark colors in your home to decorate with. Instead use bright and light colors that will attract the heat more evenly and benefits you more.

With an additional solar power source placed outside, in which you have a specially designed box for collecting the power of the sun to be changed into the type of energy, that powers your house along with warming the water you use. Building a home to include the products that provide you with solar power only cost a fraction more of building one without this type of power. Solar power is a great investment though over time you get this money back in savings.

Overtime when you totally rely on the sun to heat your home and all the other functions it can perform you will not have a monthly bill because you don't pay for the sun every month like you do with other power sources. Use ceiling fans to reduce the amount of time you may need to run your air conditioner.

Ceiling fans evenly distribute the cool air and also the heat and eliminates cold and hot places throughout your house. Install doors made of metal that are insulated, so that the cold stays out and the warm gets in and stays put. Make sure your doors are closed tight at the time of day that the sun comes in, this insures that the heat remains in the house for a longer period of time.

Owning a solar power home means that you are encouraging preserving our natural resources for the future. It also means that you will not worry with the increase in cost of electricity and gas because you are using the best source out there without hurting the environment.
