I would not expect to find any domes that are made with a solid pour. Concrete is very heavy and gravity plays an important part in the application process. That is why the concrete is applied in several thin coats and permitted to dry between applications.

What an inspiration! I'm glad you shared this! It's frustrating so many men can be like this (in this century)! Lots of stories to add to that one! But the important part is you came through, you persisted. It's nice you had a few people with open ears along the way. It's my dream to have a monolithic one day. My friend has already told me she and some of the ladies who volunteer for habitat would find it interesting. Great job!

Excellent. Jo congrats and you get to live in the work of your hands and heart. You answered my question. I am strongly considering doing a dome home next year on Maui. I had a feeling that without someone associated with Monolithic the process would be difficult in Hawaii. Now I know, but it won't stop me. I think I will also find a way to bring in some experienced dome builders into the project for an extended "vacation."

Joe, You have done something I would love to do.I own some beautiful desert in So. Cal. I plan to take the corse in Texas. I also own some land in Puna on the Big island. But time is running out for me. I abused my temple and smoked my life away. COPD is now my future doing what I can just to breath. I will build using help from construction crews and I will just pay the money. I think I wuld love to have you head up the crews! Not only beautiful but smart and strong. Ahhh someday. Steve

anybody have any links to Monolithic Domes that are solid poured and not sprayed concrete

[denaoberski]

why was your electric bill $1000 per month? Was that the cost of running the fans?

As a man I feel humbled by what a woman alone can accomplish.

I can only imagine the macho attitude specially in the construction field you had to endure.

wow, thank you for this inspirational video...I will watch it whenever I am second guessed by an insecure guy...it's not as life consuming as your project, but as I work on my little dream (rebuilding a classic chevy) I run into the same kinds of men...so, I thank you...

I'm wondering about some of the interior items in your home...
