Dennis, I am so sorry to hear about your recent stroke. You are very important to the dome community. Praying your recovery is quick. I also want to wish you, Tessa and all at Natural Spaces Domes a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Johnny Maniscalco

I'm glad to see how well you are doing, Dennis. Prayers for a full recovery, a Merry Christmas, and a prosperous New Year. Ken and Terry Hilving, Midland MI

How would you deal with Humidity in a place like Hawaii? Just dehumidifiers or would you pipe it out the cupola?

Thanks for posting this instruuctional video! I am just beginning the process of replacing 13 Natural Spaces frames that were hail damaged. This answered most of my questions.

Can you put a dome on a peir n beam foundation? If we want around 1100 sqft of actual ground floor living space and we want to do the 12" thick outer walls what size of Dome would we need? Michelle from Texas

Doing awesome work, guys!

Is it possible to construct a dome with metal triangles? Ie using metal channel tubing similar to business buildings?

I saw that there was a high profile and a low profile option. I understand conceptually what this means but specifically what is the height of the dome if it is say 40' diameter and high profile? How much of a riser height do you need to accomplish this? Do these change relative to the diameter? I am very tall and I don't know how well this would work for me.

Just wanted you to know that I posted this in DomeLiving on Facebook. If it means anything, I really appreciate you guys doing this. I think, it serves the community and very informative... So I just wanted to say thank you.

Hey there! Just discovered your channel, and I wanted to thank you for shedding light on the dynamics between contractors and owner-builders. It's intriguing to see how these roles intersect and the various challenges they entail. As I run my Christian channel focusing on building spiritual foundations and community, I find parallels in navigating relationships and responsibilities, which you touched upon in your video. Consider me a new subscriber - excited to delve into more insightful discussions on your channel!

What's the name of that "local" insurance company which also operates in a dome?

Great interview!

Congratulations on a very well done interview and educating the media.

To say ANY roof is going to last 50 years is crazy.

Hi! Podrian hacer un video sobre como hacer esa estructura de los triángulos que salen casi al inicio o cómo armarlos? Porque normalmente se hacen bidimensional, pero los d ustedes tienen fondo como para poder colocar el cableado

I've been attending the Zoom sessions for several months while waiting for my Natural Spaces Dome to be produced, and this was an especially helpful session.

Amazing. I need to get a hold of you guys. I have a 39’ basic dome home I built myself and now have plans for re-building the shell with a second story avocado shaped exterior deck

Underrated stuff, guys!

Thank you for your video. a lot of information and experience. I have a question: what is the max diameter recommended to build a V4 dome using 2x4s without connectors?

Thanks for your videos! What about guttering and downpipes to redirect rainwater away from the base of the dome foundation?

you need to improve your "full screen" mode. cause you weren't at 18:35 in spite of what the host said.

Thank you! It was great to see it in real time as well as listening to many details that clarified and simplified the process.

Can you do a video about roof replacement costs, and the types of roofs that might last longer? Also replaced windows?

Was fireplace wood included in the cost of heating?

I'm in Argentina, shingles don't exist here. Everyone uses "chapa" metal tin roof, but as it's not flat I can't put that on the dome.

You could do a virtual assist where people wear AR glasses and Dennis instructs them remotely, you can even annotate what the person is seeing through their glasses in AR.

Thanks for answering my question. I find these monthly Q&A sessions very helpful.

In our dome home there have been moisture issues on the large skylights and the snow accumulating on the bottom 2 or 3 on the outside. And would our home built in 1987 have an air exchange unit like you mentioned? We had to get a new furnace and there are block heaters.

Great tour, keep up the nice tours!

Can you suspend a second floor with cable attached to the dome?

These are great, thank you very much!

I purchased one of your domes last year in WA state. Built in 1993, the dome has an air exchanger at the top of the dome connected to a timer switch. I’m curious how often and for how long I need to run the exchanger? Does the amount of time running the exchanger change with seasons? Thanks for your time!

Recent experience has taught me this: do not get involved with any dome contractor who asks for full payment up front. This is not only unconventional business practice, but a danger signal! Insist on a contract with a finish date (reasonable, considering that weather can affect it), and conditions that if that date is not met, you are protected from losing your investment, including legal satisfaction, in the event that proceedings are required, in the state of your residence.

Your short segments have been educational. I'm planning on ordering a dome to build next summer and I'm understanding the process better with each new video you are posting.

Thanks for the info! This answers my questions on the dimensions. Great job!

Malarkey is just another shingle company. We prefer Owens Corning Durations. If you are lucky you will get 2 decades only. Asphalt will not last the warranty stated. Not even 1\2 of stated amount. Sounds like someone is trying to sell you something. Metal will last more than 50 years, with no exposed fasteners. Price will be more than double. This is the trade off. I have 32 years in this industry. I manufacture 4 different metal profiles and unlimited custom systems. We still prefer to install shingles because of the speed. I have never torn off a 50 year asphalt roof. 18-25 years on average.

Thank you for doing this. Looks great guys - I jumped ahead a little and possibly missed some info. but would like to ask what size is this dome and will it be a single floor cabin?

I'm a little confused when you talk about "lower levels." Are these basements? Or are domes always built on slabs? If people do basements, are the basements circular to match the footprint of the home?

Can potential dome kit buyers tour the eight domes you mention in the videos? (Are they in Minnesota?)

Is the in-person dome school happening in June for the fully vaccinated? Any chance it's free with the purchase of a dome home kit? :)

Are you still doing these regularly? :)

Wow! Are you located in the Twin Cities? If so, when I order one of your dome kits, can I pick it up instead of paying for shipping? :)

Where can I find the information about the Eden Prairie dome for rent on your website? Is it like an Air B&B where we could check it out for a weekend? :)

good
