"SNIP.........................................
A Fredericton-area man says his heating bills are decreasing thanks to a solar furnace that cost him $300 to build.
Randy Buchanan, of Lower St. Mary's, modified plans he found online to build the heating unit from soda cans, aluminum eavestrough downspouts and an old double-pane window.
Buchanan is an environmental consultant and depends on heat and clean air to raise rainbow trout for his aquatic toxicology studies.
He began looking for heating alternatives after his bills for heat and an air exchanger soared this winter.
