I find it fascinating how much of a difference in cost there is for everything between a heat pump and a rocket mass heater! The video is useful to me because my interests include alternative heating solutions and the science and engineering behind it. It would be great to have both!  



Wow!  That chart is extensive!  It answers questions I didn't know I had.

A diy mini-split for $4,000 to keep the powers that be happy and also for air conditioning and dehumidification and possible hot water heater, then a RMH for a more biophillic lifestyle esp if an AC isn't wanted/needed.

Iterations are fine, we don't have to be perfect
