FALSE ADVERTISING 400 YEARS BULLSHIT

[jlechinvestec]

@brocksoy Hi Boy....you may want to read up on some history and see actually how they actually go much much more than 400 years ;) LOL ;) This is also a UN approved designed that was presented in the 90's ;)

This type of building has been around maybe 20 years or so .... we can't know for sure that it will last for "400 years" until one of them has actually lasted 400 years. But, people keep on building conventional brick and wood houses, and we know for sure that hardly any of those houses will last 400 years.

How can a building made of sandbags last 400 years?  That's preposterous!

Hi there! This came out great (love the window). A classmate and I are trying to make a small replica of this type of dome and we'd like to avoid the barbed wire. Can you post a link to the type of wire you used and also a more detailed description of how you used it? I'm not sure what you meant above when you said "and then intou-shape..."

Thank you! any help would be great as we're stumped on how to get around using the barbed wire.

IMPORTANT MUST SEE!!! What if you could build a Monolithic dome with 2,600 sq ft of living space, costs 10% of a the average home to build, and provides protection and efficiency from its 24in thick wall? Watch "A HOME FIT FOR ROYALTY"

This woman talks too much.

"400 years have you ever heard" Zizo Beda is a real cutie. Been looking eco-dome but filling tubes with dirt looks more difficult than filling individual sandbags. Like the staple idea as well. Great work guys.
