What I'm actually trying to do is a bit different!! If I can set up the 2" space around the outside of a 900 sqft house I should only need to let 275sqft of air through an "earth tube" to make it so the walls don't come into contact with air temps higher then 68 degrees(ground temp in my area at ten feet!!)
Also, I'm looking to do it on homes that already need renovation work!!
