With good enough insulation all you need is a bunch of pets. 

lol 

You don t know just how right you are.> I was talking to zelgomer on IRC about the matter. My dogs have a brick and mortar kennel with plenty foam insulation and the inside is covered by noble wood. When it is cold outside, the dogs cram in together. If you walk in at night (the kennel has a human sized door) it is surprisingly warm inside.

Nowadays I let my dogs inside the house anyway.

Seems that little inverter i got does NOT shut down after a while of
no power drain.

sooooooo had to add a power switch after all.

Aren't you an EE? Get a microcontroler and build a BSM system with a CAN bus and everything \o/

Get more things in your house that run on 12 volts. Anyone who has experience with boats or RVs knows what it's like to operate both 12 volt and 120 volt panels side by side. Embrace your inner nerd and put little outlets in every room with DC barrel jacks.
