Palacial Megadome: Part 6 Skeleton Roof

[XfireKeenmike]

I love your etch a sketch clear mind to make room for cool stuff moves.

[42fba]

So... building a wooden structure around the dome. The place looks like a mushroom : )

[kahunabear]

Was the old roof leaking? Why did you put this new one on?

[Mongo8Bongo]

To get a bigger house :P? Who doesn't want a bigger house! -Im sure that if you saw his place you would agree with him. Judging from all his other videos. The dome is full of stuff.

[kahunabear]

Oh, so this gives him a new level or just expands the top level?

[Mongo8Bongo]

I dunno to be honest. Don't know if he have ever used that floor really. So at some level, it might be a new floor.

[JMEMantzel]

ya. the 4th floor is much more useable now. :-D

[JMEMantzel]

expands all the levels. and more insulation

[JMEMantzel]

yes! exactly! Oh... and the roof was leaking a bit. :-P

[mavd123]

hump the wood, hahaha

[JMEMantzel]

ya. not as fun as it looks. :-P

[savageZA76]

good job man, working alone could be a bitch sometime

[masterFLASH102]

I agree with bobwd40! It would be pretty stellar. You're the adventurous type Jamius, zip line it. Should be one of your side projects.

[bobwd40]

Awesome!! Ever thought about setting up a zip line from the dome to the banana building? Cause that'd be sweet.

[ANDRWjory]

Your place is looking great Jaimie, cold, mmm cold = good.

Over here in Sth Australia it is 40' Celsius, for a week running, which inspired me to clean our swiming pool. Which we are now heating (oh, its in ground and its like jumping in a bucket of ice) anyway.....there's a big eucalyptus tree next to it (on neighbours side) which drops leaves and stuff all over it. So we want to build a massive building over it, anyway, your still inspiring us all over here Jaimie = keep it up - u rock...:P

[JMEMantzel]

awesome! Thanks! I want to visit australia one of these days. Looks like a super place.

[maddogtjones]

Is there no building codes there, no inspectors?

[Mongo8Bongo]

He is in the middle of a forrest :D! Who should know what's going on up there?

[JMEMantzel]

shhhh.

[maddogtjones]

OHHHHH .... right i get ya .... nudge nudge wink wink, say no more ... It's just that where I live I need to apply for a permit to build a freakin dog house ... oh I just had an idea you should build some underground cold room stage place, that would be cool, no pun intended ...

[JMEMantzel]

ya. I'll probably do that eventually. ....like when I'm not doing 4 other things. :-P

[papaonn]

hey jam, i still pursuing ur spider robot until episode 20, but i did subscribed to you so i just post some comments here since i saw this, keep it up man, u inspired me of purchasing my first robot kits, im not going to make a big one, because i'm not engineer, i'm AI programmer instead, but i'm sick of robots, i hope i can post some vids as well when i got it, i ll tell ya when i make it. keep it up with ur project i'd love to watch them when i'm down, because ur work just encouraged me!!

[ANDRWjory]

@papaonn Good work Papaonn, a lot of us started off watching Jaimies robot project and now just love seeing the updates on how his whole site is going.

Good on you for starting your own robot, i'm sure your programming skills will really come in handy.

if we never try we will never know.

[JMEMantzel]

Hey! Who negative commented this! Oh.... must have been a mistake. :-P

[JMEMantzel]

thanks! Thats awesome to hear. :-)

[F0gstridEr]

Wow!!! Your place looks awsome!!!

Will you have a crazy rave party in your place one day? I woud love to performe with some nice tracks if that is the case :)

hahahahahah! All love/ FogstridEr

[JMEMantzel]

YES! I'd love to do that! If you ever come to the north east US, I will totally have a party!

[garageTroll11235]

Very cool as usual. Beware of splinters. You need to sew yourself a climbing harness!!

[JMEMantzel]

heh heh. Ya. So many things to do

[Romashk]

wow...

[TheMastahC]

More sharing what the day's date is.

[JMEMantzel]

err... ya. sorry 'bout that. I don't know what the date is right now! ha ha. Half the time I don't know what day of the week it is, or what month.

[skybirdbird]

you are amazing............

[mjlynch712]

fancy! =D

[edjorg]

Cool, you found the GOOD saw...

[TheGreatSteve]

What are you going to call the dome now it's no longer domular?

[road2health]

Awesome! I can't wait to see it all finished.

[furroy2]

so when you live out in the middle of nowhere, do you not have to get building permits or follow codes or any of that nonsense?

keep up the good work!!! love all your stuff!!!

[madmodders]

I was just thinking about the fact that you call it a dome. A mathematical dome has no straight surfaces, so in theory, the only thing that is dome-like is the roof. (and of course the spring dome) The rest is a tall tube. And now with this outer shell, the dome is even more alike a grain silo. But still, it's better this way. A true dome is not very space efficient at the outer areas. I'm not saying your dome is not a dome. Just look at the US Capitol Dome. Straight walls... Keep it coming! ;)

[madmodders]

I knew at least one person would misunderstand and click the thumbs down, not that I care... ;) But I don't see any negativity in my post, at all. I do say it's better Jaimies way than a true dome, and in other words if Jaimie calls it a palacial megadome, it's a freakin palacial megadome, whether it's a cube, sphere or even a pyramid! It's a piece of art.

[pumkinvine]

"When I built this, I did not have in mind being able to easily take it apart"

I got a kick out of that one, I seam to say the same thing to myself on every project I undertake. (at least we know the stuff is well made, right?)

Be careful up there and continue rocking!

[JMEMantzel]

ya. ha ha. It is nice when things don't come apart easily. ...most of the time. :-P

[TheNanoCube]

Just out of curiosity, why did you decide to build the roof like that instead of making little insulated triangles? You're an inspiration to us all so don't ever quit :)

[edjorg]

Probably when he realized he had a limited time window for the project. Trust me, the insulated triangle thing takes longer :P

[JMEMantzel]

hee hee. actually, the triangles are easier. :-P I wanted roof overhang.

[JMEMantzel]

what a uhh.... "quit"? 

heh heh. I wanted an overhang at the end of the roof. ...so rain, snow etc falls away from the dome. Dry spot. :-)

[borriszan]

Wow that is a project and a half you have taken on!

Be careful!!

Cant wait to see it finished though :D

[olsensth]

awesome video !

[ATOMsMasHER22]

At the end did she set up the camera herself to show her carrying boards lol

[jacktheripped]

It snowed today here in Boise ID, just thought I'd let you know what's coming ;)

[JMEMantzel]

ohhh.... you said the s word! :-P Well... the roof is on, so its not so bad if the sky pees on me now.

[rebel937]

Awesome!

[JMEMantzel]

thanks!

[rebel937]

No problem, I love the vids and how you just let your imagination go and come up with some amazing outcomes. Your an amazing artist.

[JMEMantzel]

uh oh! My head is becoming inflated! :-P ha ha, just playing. It sure is humbling working on big projects.

[2bsirius]

That would be a great place to set up a telescope.

[JMEMantzel]

yyyep! and I have one too! :-)

[cleyz]

Now youve only got 3 floors.. Removing an entire floor?? Thats not boosting the resale value ;)

[JMEMantzel]

What??? Who's removing a floor? There are still 4 floors. Orr... at least there are now. The video is a week old

[Brakeheart]

if it starts snowing - yer gonna have one HECK of a big beautiful snowball-dome! :D

[JMEMantzel]

shhhh... don't say the s word!

[zamhick]

Dude, I love what your doing. But you are totally crazy!!

[JMEMantzel]

I have heard that before. :-P

[tcbink]

Quit playing on the monkey bars and get to work.

[JMEMantzel]

but but....  oh, ok

[ianandholly]

Now I see what you doing. Kinda cool. Not sure if your fall restraint system would actually help to kill you if you fell though. Might be safer just to fall and take your chances without that.

lol

[JMEMantzel]

Well, it might be a problem if I was suspended, but it'll keep me from sliding off the roof. :-P

[Frozenyak]

and if it rains? :S palacial fishbowl!

[rawrcore]

snow is heavy.

i hope it holds.

best of luck!

[forsalololo95]

lolololololololol. nice

[cleyz]

yay!! first =)
