John Canivan, DIY Solar Expert, Mother Earth News

John and I are old friends, and go back a few years. He sent me an email the other day about writing for Mother Earth News, of which i have been a long time subscriber. Imagine my surprise when I find him listed on their Experts page. Way to go, John!

“John cut his first 2-by-4 at age three. He learned the construction trade from his father, a general contractor and hardware store owner. John single-handedly built several houses and was involved with hundreds of home improvement projects with and without crews. He built and installed solar hot water systems, sun spaces and solar greenhouses, and his latest project, Modified Trickle Down solar heating, is made from commonly available materials and is designed for DIYers. Getting John to start talking about solar is easy, but you may have a problem getting him to stop.”
