Dome House Jim Townsend

Got my dome out of storage and set up at the camp site. This model of the pentagon pyramid dome is ten feet wide and eight feet high in the centre. The joining sides are 24 inches. I made one out of 30 inch sides and it was 12 feet across with a ten foot centre. If you have 48 inch joining sides, the structure is 20 feet across and 18 feet high. Note that you could make one that size out of 2x4's with a sheet of 4x8 plywood in the centre for a bottom rectangle and a half sheet for the square.

i see cracks whatcha gonna do when youre wet

[townsendjim]

@excaliburdd uh duh... silicone? lol. how do you seal cracks? this is a temporary structure put together with hinges and pins to meditate in. it is not put together as a permanent structure where one would need to seal all the cracks regardless of how it was built. if it is bad weather when i put it up, i have surgical rubber that i stretch out in the joints and it seals it. takes about another five minutes.

that's an awesome little structure, thanks for posting this video. You seem like a genuinely cool dude, and I totally agree with what your saying. I'm planning on building something like this myself so it's helpful for you to post this video. Your so right about what your saying and I wish more people saw it like that, collectively we could do so much. but people will hopefully awaken soon. Well what is that white material made of? and i'm gonna see if you have any videos on the construction.
