Pix of dome progress for those who are interested

I know a couple folks expressed an ongoing interest. Don't wish to bore the rest of you.

Rebar stickers in the insulation:

still life with cherrypicker and stickers

More of the same:

Dave doing the first layer of shotcrete to anchor them in:

Chris putting up rebar, Pat menacing him with a shadow-monster:

eeek!

It kind of looks like primitive art. If I put this on a canvas, think I could make some money? :

Some of the electric:

And for the ceiling fans. Our electrician is a good guy. Showed up on time and didn't make the builder wait around for him or cost us extra:

You don't want it too humid when they're trying to foam, but it doesn't hurt the concrete curing:

We've ended up with waste concrete here and there. We've had it dumped over the bridge to bolster it. It's not smooth, but I suppose some of the heavy trucks will break it down a little:

If things go well for our guy Dave next week, he should be able to get the shotcrete completed!

Thanx for the pics. It brings back memories of when my brother and some of his friends built a dome home in the 70's. Please keep us updated on the progress.
