is the same as constructing a frame, it will be 5-1/2 feet �from the wall and that.
in the future they plan to add a blower that will circulate air through tlie
top floor of the home. The glass will be reinforced thermal panes. He said he
and his wife like to keep plants and presently they do not have enough sun
coming into the homep and that the neighbors on both sides have no objections.
They wi11 have someone do the cement cvork and someor�e else do the carpentry.
Mr. Plemel asked if the addition wi11 be used for anything else and Chai�woman
Gabel asked what would happen to the wa11. Mr. Bjorklund said it will be used
mostly for plants, sunshine and warmth and they are doing nothing with the wall
right now, Mr. Plemel asked hoca much they expected in savings and Mr. Bjorklund

lived. Mr. Bjorklund said it is called passive solar heating and they are in-
sulating the slab. Mr. Barna suggested that he might want to get crushed rock
and paur slab over that; and that later on he can blow air down there through '
the warm rocks. Mr. Bjorlclund noted that in some cases that can reverse itself.
Mr. Plemel said he is going to drive by when the addition is finished.
Mr. Bjorlelund said they will have approximately 1S0 to 200 feet of glass.
