We're putting in a geothermal heating and cooling system, which uses the constant temperature of water below the surface of the earth to both heat and cool the house. It requires very little energy and should cut the cost of heating and cooling the house by roughly 50% compared to traditional electric or natural gas systems. Anyway, here's the well digger.
