More work on the dome
AJ and I did a bit more work on the dome to get it ready for insulation and rubber coating. It has windows, a metal door and a bit smoother interior. This weekend the guy who shoots on the insulation is coming, so I have a little bit of electrical work and clean up to get done before he arrives, but other than that, the dome is looking good and getting finished.
We put another layer of cement on the inside of the dome to smooth out the walls. It turns out that it was easier to do it by hand (literally) than to try to trowel it on. While not perfectly smooth, it's a huge improvement over the rough texture that was on there before. The place is looking pretty cute now.

I want to know more about the dome!!! How big is it across inside. Will it have electric? What will you use this for? Will it be covered with sod and sculpted into the landscape?

Hmmm, let's see...
The dome is 12 feet in diameter and 8 feet tall on the inside. I put in the only electrical outlet that will be in the dome just this afternoon so it will be ready for an exterior coat of insulation. This weekend it gets shot with 4 inches of foam insulation and then gets a 1/8 inch rubber coating (copper colored) on top of the insulation to seal it all from the elements. I don't think there are any plans to cover it or try to blend it in at this point. This was our "practice dome" and will most likely become a guest house of a sort... I'll try to post some more pictures soon.
