This extra-length segment shows all the various layers that are buried in the foundation hole. There is tubing for the thermal mass and draining piping going into the sump tank. The next video will show the dome structure going up!

  • by far best set of instructionals i have seen. You did a fantastic job on designing and constructing. And a far better job presenting it. Thanks. Curious tho of the budget for the project?

  • @TheLegalgrow Budget=$20K, Actual=$30K ;-)

  • Your the man, I hope one day I will be able to tackle a job like this. What is your back ground?

  • @MrPVaSoldier electronic engineering and computer science...and I worked for a civil engineer for a while too. ;-)

  • one layer

  • Will the pipes be carrying the exhaust from the rocket stove from your other video? If so will there be a problem venting the waste gasses into the green house directly?

  • @ddnguyen278 The exhaust will not go through that area. I'll install some kind of heat exchange and blow only fresh air through that part. The exhaust will go outside where it belongs. Thanks - good question.

  • @tenj00 The boards there were temporary just to fit things. There is a layer of closed-cell foam that was placed under them. Also this is treated lumber which is rated for direct burial. I believe it's rated for 40 years.

  • @web4deb if all the people who watch your videos donated a buck, you'd be able to cover the over-budget, and more! :-)
