CREATIVE PROCESS AND IT POTENTIAL VALUE INCREASE.
CREATIVE PROCESS AND IT POTENTIAL VALUE INCREASE.
Architect: ar·chi·tect, noun. Somebody whose job it is, to design buildings and advise on their construction. A person whom created or invented something.
I just found out that I can classify myself as a “Architect” seeing as I have designed and constructed eleven separate projects which were totally focused on re-use of building materials with an overriding end result of creating business buildings and homes that will last longer, create no added burden to the infrastructure, apply state of art use of Passive Solar Heating and Cooling with creativity adding wealth to business owners and longevity to home-owners.
My initial experience started in June of 1963 with the rash purchase of a granary built in 1889, scheduled for the match in 3 days. I bought this building for $100 and “Luckily” my wife did not divorce me as she was in the hospital delivering our first child. My wife declared bluntly that she would never “live” in this dirty old barn and I shouldn’t have spent the doctor’s money for our first childbirth and delivery!
To continue the story: Our banker loaned us $3,500 and we moved our monster to our quarter acre piece of heaven, a wedding gift, one mile from its original location. Our total income during this period totaled $13 a week from “Unemployment” insurance and I proceed to create a home for our growing family. I disassembled the first floor, moved it up and created a second story with an attic space big enough for another small home.
Fast forward to 1972 after we created five different businesses and a glass business that we sold, in our barn, for $75,000. We moved to Centralia on advice from our windshield supplier, as they wanted a business in that particular location. We bought a new home, moved and played for 9 months. I finally considered starting another glass business and called our former supplier in Seattle in June of 74. I figured they might not want to work with us but the response was unheard of. The gist of the call, John, you better have room for 300 w/s in 7 days as we will be delivering 300 w/s on consignment for your new business! We quickly prepared and were ready in time!
We fast forward to 1977; our new glass business, which I had constructed and built over a car dealer’s old office and expanded into the largest auto glass store south of Olympia, Wash. Our new CPA called in June/1977and indicated that we sell our glass business and start a new venture as we had too much income and no deprecation write offs. Within a month we sold our business and undertook the search for new challenges. At this time in our life I decided to attend a Seminar in Seattle, Wash. about new business ideas and potential endeavors for growth, The gleaned information from the seminar occurred at 11:30 on the last night when the subject of Mini-Storage, as the newest “Cash Cow” on the block
Our previous endeavors gave rise to our re-cycling of old buildings and their morphing into a totally different value and use. Through a fluke of riding my bike around Centralia, I came across a plywood sign that had fallen face down on the ground, which listed a phone number to sell this five-acre property. It was my simple bike riding that lead to a greater focus of re-using materials from old buildings, surplus supplies and machines.
The owner’s husband had died and the property was still for sale and included a completed modular office building located on her property 20 miles away. I struck a deal for the 5-acre property and the two-section office located next to her home. I met with her attorney the next day, which happened to be my attorney and he “Okayed” the project. I proceed to draft a simple one-page site plan and building concept and went to the local building department and discussed my project. The building inspector used to own and operate a lumber company near my new property and had observed the construction process of our glass business. I couldn’t believe what he next said after our 1 hours discussion, as he said, I watched you build your glass building and you know what your doing and he “Issued” my building permit that day.
I started the project, as the site was flat and ready to start construction. I traveled to the neighboring town of Chehalis for supplies and started the concrete forms construction. During this process I was allowed to retrieve the heavy plastic coverings used to protect bunks of lumber during shipping, and placed them under my concrete slap to create an impervious vapor barrier to keep my concrete floors dry.
I proceeded to build the outside wall structure and constantly needed to travel to Chehalis for supplies, and I noticed a 50 year old, two-story lumber building was being dismantled and all the lumber was being stacked in preparation to sell. I went to the individual and bought all the usable building materials including the trusses, timbers, floor joists and sprinkler system. My ¾ ton ford was too short to haul these 26” long trusses, so I went to a welding shop and had my truck frame cut and extended 34” to allow the legal 6’ extension fore and aft to haul 36 trusses to my job site. We used the sprinkler piping to build a 300’ fence and a 12’ wide gate using two U-joints from a truck drive shaft for hinges.
As the project proceeded and we needed 36” doors for the rooms, I traveled across the street to Cardinal Door Company and ordered 10,pre-hung, hollow-core doors at $25 each for my first rooms. During this first trip I was offered a quick tour of the production process. Near the end of the tour, the production foreman reached out, as the finished doors proceed along and “Touched his finger on the door surface”.
I inquired as to reason he touched the new door and he explained they could not sell a door with a spot or blemish, as customers would reject it as “Damaged”. This simple action next led to an opportunity to purchase 400 solid core doors for $1 instead of $100 each. The above purchase lead to another weird happening as I was shown all the “damaged doors” stacked under cover outside and noticed two yellow masts sticking up from a huge pile of wild blackberries in the back lot. They had a 7500# 3-wheeled/Yale forklift wasting away after installing a new engine and a careless worker damaged first gear so they just shoved it aside. I bought this machine for the engine cost of $400 and drove it in reverse to haul my 400 new doors to my building site and build my buildings.
Creativity is critical to success in all endeavors. I continued to build my project using these doors as partitions inside to create 200 storage rooms. We simply used a hydraulic jack to shove an 80” door up to the ceiling and air stapled them together with one on the floor as the next is lifted against to drywall ceiling. Next we attached 3 hinges to each door opening and this created a room to rent.
After two year’s creating and operating this project, a Real Estate agent showed up with a possible purchaser. We had achieved 99% occupancy and a waiting list for select room sizes. During this time frame I was also approached to sell the remaining 3.5 acres to an individual overlooking our project and offered the same amount I paid for the original 5 acres. I sold the extra parcel and the appraisal value arrived at $250,000 for our Mini project. Needless to say, I took the offer to sell the Mini-Storage project and go find another challenge in 1983.
We decided to move to Bellingham and look for land to build a new home as we had seven truckloads of used and new lumber left over to build a new home. We found a five-acre parcel with a year round creek along the south edge of the land. The parcel sloped up from the county road with a perfect location facing due west with a mountain ridge across a lake nestled at the base of this mountain. We proceed to purchase this property and planned to build a specific house to fit the setting.
We rented a house five miles away and I proceed to bring all left over materials onto our property. It took seven round trips from Centralia to deliver supplies to our new residence. I prepared the site and laid out the foundation and hand dug the footing for the construction to start. I continued to search for material “gems” and altered our designs to construct them into the whole. During a trip to our Seafirst Bank in Bellingham, I noticed they had purchased the adjoining business space and the interior was being gutted.
I asked to have an opportunity to purchase all their used furnace ducting, copper piping, wiring and anything else they wanted removed including beautiful Crystallized Carnelian Granite used on the exterior and interior of the bank. I received four tons simply for hauling it away and it made a beautiful recessed alcove to hold our wood stove and created a 16’ hearth across the living room. We spent $200 to purchase and it took 10 truckloads to remove all the useable items they were throwing away.
I continued to build our home and when we closed it in for the winter we had time to find cabinets and special insulation for our home. I happened to stop off to see if the largest Lumber Store in Bellingham had excess cabinets to sell and it was the right time as they were changing suppliers and needed their warehouse emptied for new stock. I purchased 6 truckloads for $600 and spent 2 days loading and hauling to our garage. Next I traveled to a Boeing Surplus store in Seattle and found 1-1/2”x4’x8’, R-18 rigid sheet Insulation in their surplus store. They were selling single sheets for $2 each and I purchased 150 sheets to insulate our home. We achieved R-36 exterior walls on both floors. We wanted to have clear cedar siding on the exterior and checking the price it would cost $14K for the complete exterior.
We found an individual in Chehalis who bought 2x4 clear cedar from Canada and split them into 3 pieces and made T&G siding. The price for the whole house dropped to $2000 and we bought enough extra to install on our stove wall and the slopped living room ceiling to the second floor. We completed our home and I went looking for another location to build another Mini-Storage project. I found a location in Burlington, my old hometown. The building site was 60’ wide 120’ deep with an alley on two sides. I checked out the site and found out I could build to lot lines with no set back. I hired a pole barn contractor to construct a three story building on this property and we used an elevator to service all three floors. I built in a residence and office with three back-in positions under the second floor to keep the alleys clear. I created my first passive solar heating system to heat this building using our used ducting from the Sea-First bank to distribute it throughout the building.
We opened for business as All Heated Mini-Storage and charged the same as unheated facilities to test market resistance. To my joy we filled 50% in the first 60 days and totally full in 9 months. We kept raising the rate and customers still waited in line to rent. To create a Passive Solar heating system I connected used 8” sheet metal duct into the vertical suction duct routed down to the furnace room on the first floor. I ran this 8” pipe to 3’ from the inside peak of the roof and attached a remote sensor connected with telephone bell wiring to an adjustable temp control device which activated the fan suction motor if the attic space achieved 65 degrees or more. I first used the system in August 1984 and it work beautifully.
As winter arrived I assumed the gas furnace would need to supply the heat for the winter, as I had never used passive solar before. On Dec 23, 1984 at three o’clock in the afternoon, I had turned off the gas heating system and as I swept the second floor, I heard the heating system start and I went down to the furnace room to check the temperature settings. The furnace was still off, but warm air was coming out of the ducting. I dialed up to 68 degrees on the sensor control and the suction fan stopped. I dialed it back to 65 and heat came out the pipes. I went outside to check the conditions and it had been snowing and three inches had collected on the roof and it was 23 degrees and cloudy. MY passive solar works! My system still functions and has produced 95 % of the heat for the last 25 years. The story continues with four more passive solar projects and 6 custom homes I designed and built to conserve energy. Also a unique project that created $700,000 in tax-free dollars in 1993.

Simple question? From Anachronism, Is this site dead? Everybody already using Passive Solar to heat their homes and business? Here it's Oct 4, 2009 and no "Reply's" to above? The application of $100 and couple hours work will furnish ALL the FREE heat for your home or business. It is too easy to stay "Hooked to the GRID". Good BY.

Hi, this is Reinhard Resch from Austria
It was great reading about your simple heating and cooling system. I like the Kiss-Idea.
We also invented a very simple tool for collecting and distributing water streams (look under my name Dr. Reinhard Resch).
I understand your cooling idea. But I do not understand the heating in winter. You said it was snowing outside with snow on your roof, but the vent for sucking air went on by 68° (or 65°?). Does it work with a heat pump? I appreciate your answer very much. Thank you. Reinhard

Dr. Reinhard Resch from Austria: (Tuesday, October 20th, 9:05, PM) Thank you for even asking a question as 99.99% of people never ask anything! First off there are NO Machines involved in creating any heat or cooling. Mother Nature supplies ALL the energy required to heat all of the five projects I created and owned. Look at my projects located at—
http://push.pickensplan.com/photo/photo/listForContributor?screenNa...
When I took my first step to use passive solar heating it happened as an after thought. The above photo shows( Photos show each project) an "Expensive" attempt to create my first attempt in creating a” Solar Passive Heating System". This "Gold line" Remote sensor control box involved an initial expense of $35.10 to create my first passive solar heating system. Sorry to say this unit has "Never" failed to function in 25 years. This simple unit arrived with a "remote sensor unit" and required 2-wire telephone wire to reach clear up to the peak of the roof which required another expense of $4.00 to reach from the first floor to the peak of the inside of the attic.
The next expense involved attaching an 8", used round duct pipe from the top of the ductwork, at the roof line height, previously installed to "Suck" the air from the third floor, down to the "used hot-water radiator squirrel cage fan system" out of a "Men's Clothing store in Bellingham wash. This fan system “SUCKED” and forced this air into the first floor hallway which then vent thru floor vents back the top floor and into the suction system.
The sad part of this whole story is as follows: This "expensive" process has produced 99 percent of "ALL THE HEAT NEEDED FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS!" and it has never required repairs. ". This all happened in Dec of 1983 and on the 22nd of December, around 3:00 in the afternoon.
I was busy sweeping the first floor and I had set the remote sensor earlier to 64 degrees as the building was warm from the gas-fired furnace and I knew that the furnace was turned off. I entered the furnace and "turned" the remote sensor control to "68 deg." and the system stopped. Now the question asked next is what is happening "OUTSIDE". I went outside and it was snowing and three inches of snow had accumulated on the roof AND it was 23 degrees outside!
This was my first experience with actual passive solar heating. My gas bill changed from that point forward to an average of $1 a day or simply $30 a month for "four month's of the year and the "solar heating for the next 24 years" has supplied 98% of all heating.
This same control would work to create a "Passive Solar" system in ANY building with an attic and any kind of downdraft furnace suction piping" with the ability to simply insert an 8" sheet metal duct into the top of the "Return Pipe" to your furnace system. Install a “gold line remote sensor” (Using telephone wire to connect the sensor to the unit) and you now have a working "Passive Solar" heating system.
By code all attic's for the last 40 years must have a means to allow air to enter the attic space and normally have an "Exit Opening" on both ends of the gable roof to "Allow the hot air to leave the attic space".
Ask your local building department if you can close those vents and explain that you now have installed a "Positive Displacement System" to purge the hot air from your attic. I can't declare this will furnish "added" heat to your particular application, I can "Only" explain that which I have created has "passed all Building Codes for the last 25 years in Washington State Standard Building Codes.
Now your next step is to install the system I created and installed in Vancouver Washington in 1989. This system has operated for the last twenty-years and it Passively and automatically "Heats and Cools" a building 144' long x 74' wide and 21' tall. My system has operated for 20 years with no repairs or alteration's from date of installation. In 1989 the "added" expense for natural gas to the heating phase in the winter added $563 dollars to the process.
This amount is $1.54 per day, over 365 days, to maintain a constant warm building. The building in Vancouver has "Cubic Volume of AIR equal to 225,330 cubic feet or simply 12 homes of 2400 square feet of floor space. Amazing to think this system even works? But after building five projects and in operation for 25 years most prove something???
Dr. Reinhard Resch: To create a “Totally Passive Solar Cooling System” takes some special operations that occur when predetermined conditions are occurring. The defined conditions occur every night when your building is 20 feet above the surface upon which you construct a building. THESE conditions are not guaranteed to happen everywhere, BUT they happen in the Washington and Oregon climate bands of the United States. I have not studied other climate bands; therefore my system may not function the same way.
Now we have reached the question of “Cooling with Passive Solar Cooling?” My project in Vancouver “cools” the complete building when the conditions outside meet specific conditions. In other words the air temperature is at or below 65 degrees. Simply ask yourself this question? Does the air temperature twenty feet above the ground drop to 70 degrees or lower? If you stood on a building roof at night, would it be colder or warmer then standing on the ground? It is “Cooler” 20 feet up in the air. Now you want this cool air inside your dwelling or business? How does this action occur? Looking at my building pictures you should notice the three vents openings located 21’ above the ground on both ends of the structure.
To draw cool air into the super heated attic space is bloody simple. In the outer roof surface at the highest point, just below the peak on a 3/12 pitched roof, you install a 24" exhaust pipe with a low voltage (12 volt dc motor) to operate a valve closing off this pipe opening. This pipe has a water tight cap to keep water out and when opened allows free movement of attic air to “leave the attic”. NOW you have created a Suction system that “Sucks” the cool night air into your attic space as the “HOT” air in the attic exits out the vent in the roof peak. When the attic sensor indicates the attic space now holds “Cool” air, a signal is sent to close the peak roof vent and “TURN ON THE SUCTION FAN” and draw this cool air inside your building. The volume of cool air outside your building is inexhaustible and FREE!
The system now “charges” the interior with the FREE cool air and circulates it throughout the interior until another sensor indicates that the interior temperate is proper and simply turns the suction system off and everything goes to neutral. The next step is to recharge the attic with outside air during the day time and recreate your passive solar heater and your sensors will open the vents and allow the newly heated attic exhaust the cool air and recharge the attic and create MORE FREE heat if needed?
I have both heated and cooled our Vancouver Washington project for 20 years for less then $2.00 per day. NO repairs or changes have occurred, to my knowledge and in 2006, I checked and took pictures of the interior and exterior and they looked as clean as the day I built the project. I can guarantee you can’t heat or cool 12 homes for $1.54 per day. Anachronism, Out of its time and place.
