    Thank you for coming to visit the Dome Home with your family, I love the production of the video. We'll continue to share updates on our channel as they happen, along with other videos to do with other projects, etc! Take care and hope to have you visit for an update one day !

      What is the plan for the Hobbit houses you want to build? Guest houses for family and friends? Airbnb? Just for fun? The house looks beautiful by the way.

      Thank you for sharing your story with the audience; it’s quite challenging to do partitions within half a sphere and you make it look easy; looking forward to seeing the rest of the work you were about to finish when we visited.

      I absolutely LOVE your home! I follow you Viking Shelters on RUclips and Twitter (X). If you ever branch out into monolithic domes with your shelters for fallout protection you’ll have the market cornered! 🫡💪🏽🏆

    Monolithic domes, like this, are the best kind (made from a one piece shell of concrete). They are extremely strong, very insulated (with foam), and not prone to leaking. The problem with Geodesic domes is all the seams where the triangles meet. Eventually, these seams may leak.

  • @TLTSofit

    I’m typically a very linear person and struggle with curves unless they are do e very well. This is incredible- it’s curved but still clean looking and less “artsy/whimsical” - I’m in love

    There is a huge dome in upstate New York .
    Just past Woodstock, it was the film critic, Judith Crist ..
    My mom used to clean for her , she lived in the city , but
    The dome was her country home.. I’ve got fond memories of her
    big parties with the likes of Woody Allen , and Marlin Brando ..
    As a kid it was just another party…..
    Cool house, google it ❤

    I honestly don't understand why more homes don't take advantage of the fact that the temperature doesn't fluctuate much beyond 65 under the frostline. There should be a network of underground communities in places above sea level. Hobbits and ants know what is up
