Majors Earthdome is still in the making. The winter slowed us down but spring is here so bags are being filled and construction has resumed. Here are some problems we ran into when building our earthbag dome home in Arkansas.

  • Is this still happening? Have you guys overcome these obstacles?

  • Oh crikies that sucks, you guys have worked so hard! Once spring gets here things will be back up and moving again. We're all rootin' for ya!

  • You have got to be kidding me. Why didn't you folks do composting toilets throughout your home? It's much easier and if you do waterless then you don't have a need for a drain. A septic system is still polluting the environment where a composting toilet allows us to return our own waste, and urine, back to the earth to fertilise as it should.

  • Is the plan going to be similar to the enviro dome on the earthbag site????

  • hope you guys hang in there ,,,dont let the dream spoil.....im still inspired by you and your family.....

  • I don't think anybody will respond any more on this, once you involve the state or county in your privet biss you open yourself up to ( who has equitable title, the state always assumes they do BC of your birth certificate, there is no law its only equity, actionable fraud by the government.

  • Any updates? I've been googling for the last hour to find an update. You've got fans! Keep us updated!

  • I went thru the "Perc Test" thingy when I built my place. Fortunately I did the test first and found that where I wanted to place the house would have cost me an additonal $10,000 for all the excavation and additional septic pumping equipment. So I said to my excavator "Well last I knew S_ _ t always slid down hill so the house goes up there." It was a great choice as I have a view of the valley at large.

  • 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 

  • It is a process! Would love to see an update. Also, what will the swelling of the bags do to the final finish coat on the exterior and interior?
