This was the house that my father-in-law and husband built. After I watched this video my heart hurt to see what this place looks like. My father-in-law passed away in 2008. We scattered some of his ashes up there. We sold it and whoever bought it, built that greenhouse and grew marajuana in it. I saw when it went up for foreclosure. We thought for a hot second about buying it but we just weren't in a place in our lives that we could have. My husband and I and our two kids lived there for 3 months when we were waiting on buying a house. We have so many wonderful memories. That view was to die for! I remember washing dishes at the kitchen sink and you could hear what someone was saying sitting in the living room because of the dome. You wanted to be sure not to talk about anyone in that house. LOL I loved the floors, they were heated and felt so good. I sponge painted the rusty color in the living room and the blue in the bedroom. The master bathroom tub was the best most comfortable tub in the world. My father-in-law did put up the red carpet in the basement. I wish I could post pictures on here of when it was being built. I also have two arial photos taken from a helicopter. Brian could you please keep us updated on here of the progress of the house. We would love to see it!!! Thank you.
I love it too! 💚.. especially since I a few days ago started dreaming about a Fibonacci aligned housing and angles.. so the vibrations in the house stay bio harmonic/ resonant + super resilient to shakes etc.. and this round one is like the child dream of a mushroom shaped one lol ;) I’m Scandinavian… so.. but I love the mountains there! 🙌
How amazing that you were watching this video! Hope you connect with the new owner Brian and can see the new progress and share some of the old. It’s such a beautiful view and beautiful home!
"When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound" That line speaks profoundly to me. I would Follow anything Lyss and Rio create, but a Channel of Alyssa in Nature and reading a poem or quote, that would capture my heart and soul. Beautiful opening to this video. Brian found a beautiful home. Wendell Berry quote: "To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival."
Brian might want to enlist, without spending too much, a design consultant to provide some ideas. I'd definitely "live" with the house a while before making any major design changes. Looks like a great project. Looks like a few tractor trailer or big, big dumpster loads to get rid of that trash. And Brian should definitely have lots and lots of photos taken now. It's easy to forget what it used to look like exactly once it's renovated. Looking at the "before" photos will be fun someday - yes, make prints and fill an old-fashioned photo album to keep on a coffee table for friends to see.
Do not take out the fireplace. The reason why they put it in the dome house is because they mold, because it is well sealed. The dry heat of the fireplace kills the mold. He will regret it if he removes it.
Modernize it by new flooring, kitchen and baths but the structure will still give the retro feel, keep spiral staircase update railings and add reto pieces of furniture and decor to tie it all in! Easy peazy! So excited for him
Brian ought to start a channel about renovating his new home. I would watch it. I recently helped an elderly couple move into a retirement home. I had a small volunteer crew to clean up and clean out their former house. They were both hoarders. We couldn't even get into most of the rooms, including the kitchen and both bathrooms. We had to start removing things before we could see what was in the rooms! It took us about six weeks to clear everything out because we couldn't stand to work in those conditions more than three days a week! It starts to get you thinking uncomfortable thoughts. Brian, you are brave.
What a cool place. My wife’s friend lived in a dome house here on the central coast of California it was amazing. Good luck with your project Brian, I wish I was young enough to help out growing up in the 60s in Topanga canyon that’s what we did and my hippie wife of 41 years would be right there with us. Good luck from San Luis Obispo,California and thank you for the great videos
That dome home and land it’s on is sooo freakin beautiful that Brian scored I can’t wait to see what he does with it all. His friend Jess’s place just as awesome beautiful mountainous views , trees, trails, water looove Colorado. I’d live there if it wasn’t so cold in the winter being from upstate NY been in Cali 30 yrs now I’ve acclimated to this desert climate here but with an ocean. I miss the rain and fall most of all. Anyway excited about your next video. Enjoy!! ✌️Rio is adorable!!
Hey Lyss, so glad you were able to stop by the new place. Great to be able to give you a tour and also get some work done, but the best part was I actually getting to sit down and relax for a little bit and catch up with you. There's so much going on with the house its difficult to really put into words but this video did a great job of showing where we are now about 1 month in, and it would be so great to show you how far we've come with the project again down the road. Safe travels and you're welcome any time! p.s. the overalls are a great look -- business, but make it fashionable :)
bryantroll Congrats on the house! I agree with you on the sauna. Put the sauna in a different spot, where there is a view. Maybe convert the green room?? What ever you decide, it will be 10 times better than the original. Glad you and your friend saw the potential.

Oh wow, I remember reading about that house being built ions ago. He has no idea what a gem he has there. Monolithic Domes will last forever, use very little energy, and are safe from anything. If he updated it well, it could go for millions. Highly sought after esp in wildfire areas like that. This place has so much potential. What a find. I'd be over the moon at a find like that esp for that price. Yowza. I'd totally fix the greenhouse because extending the growing season and keeping the animals out of your garden makes them highly prized in CO. You could use it for an entertainment area for now but still maintain that valuable feature for future owners. Man, I'd love to see what he does with this place and hope he doesn't screw it up. lol
You need better supporting structure in a greenhouse that size due to snow loads. You can see what happened. Make the roof steep enough so the snow slides off.
I've been dreaming about living off grid. I'm a simple person that appreciates life for it's inherent beauty. Thank you so much for sharing your life experience and knowledge!
Just WOW! So many options for the dome! Also loved the mining claim and what they have done with it (and beautiful views)...makes me want to move to Colorado! Thanks for sharing the story, Alyssa!
I know I’m 7 months late but he should absolutely use that sunken part of the “open space” as a retro conversation pit!! They were popular in the 70s I believe!! Definitely don’t cover that up, it’s character that you can’t beat
Here are the ideas I like....live with it for a while before making any big changes, gut the whole thing, white wash and start from scratch, add lots more windows if possible, keep colors light and bright, bring in lots of plants. This is a huge project and a massive opportunity for creativity. Have tons of fun with it!!! Very nice video Lyss. Love the life you are manifesting for yourself.
WOW!!!!! What an amazing house. Also it looks a BILLION times better than the before shots. I would love every inch of your home Brian. Make it yours and always have fun doing it no matter how stressful it will get. Good luck and congrats to you brother. Also, Lyss applause to you along with a standing ovation for another amazing and deep video. Love the videos, I count the days till the next. Keep making everyone laughing, crying and loving. You're such a strong and amazing woman. Keep that chin up and keep that beautiful smile glowing.
In one of my previous lives, I knew a guy who moved into a dome home in Alaska that he worked to build and renovate. What he noticed was that we, as humans, are used to a "square" reality in our lives--a "square" house, a "square" bed, etc. He used his ingenuity and imagination to make it his home. Beautiful view!! 😊
I know a few families that own dome homes, there pretty cool. They live down in Florida the hurricanes blow over them with no restrictions they are sound homes and i have friends in Belize that have there tropical dome homes. I took by boat down there and visited its beautiful down there. Was planning to go this year but September last year hurricane IDA hit here in Louisiana and put my sailboat 20 ft under so I haven't decided to buy another sailboat or buy a home on wheels. Looking at the most of fuel rising I know it's gotta be hard on y'all and when I lived on my boat 40 gallons of fuel lasted me about a month and mothers nature winds are free. And I've soloed sailed all the Atlantic Ocean side in 3 years and loved every place I went with a veterans pension with adjustments I live fine. Be safe always and be happy
This will be amazing once you are done! It has a lot of potential! I love the idea moving and maybe replacing the cookstove heater and leveling the sunken room!
It would be nice to remove the divider wall at the entrance so it opens to most of the first level. Unless you need structural supports (could install pillars), I'd remove all of the walls save the bathroom on the second floor. Also I'd see if it would be possible to install a huge window to see the view of the mountains! That black light thing, it would be amazing to have an artist make a huge drawing across a clean wall so that in the daytime it's empty, but turn on spotlights with blacklight bulbs....WOW! That paired with a star projector would be an amazing hangout room! Since it's a dome...or essentially a UFO, a retro-future look would be amazing, like the Jetsons! A dome doesn't look good with anything antique, wooden, outdoorsy, etc...
Dome structures are self supporting structurally… whether monolithic… or some form of “wire frame” like construction. This is technically considered monolithic despite the “wire frame” or mesh reinforced concrete. Concrete and pisè du terre or rammed earth types of structures are considered monolithic, plastic, and self supported … even I suppose if tensile fabric is a substitute.
Nice to see you here again my dear daughter I love you so much and pray my God to protect you from every trouble And keep you safe for us. Iam your father alike my dear Do not hesitate for anything After all we are human being. Regards.
The whole place has to be gutted. Very little is worth salvaging. It needs mire windows; the views are so beautiful and to closed off I would skip the ‘retro’ vibe altogether. No orange or turquoise please. I would go with rustic. Wood floors. Wood countertops. Lots of wood in grey, weathered tones. White walls. Maybe one accent color; something bright like red or yellow. Lots of plants. Furniture in black or white or both. Punch the bathrooms. Accent wallpaper walls of large flowers? Or hand painted mural walls.
Omg the dome is amazing what a fabulous space. I love the sunken lounge space.I'd rip all the carpets out and replace some of them. Moderinze the kitchen white wash it inside and out then you can see where the light and dark spots and keep sunken lounge and bath. Definately put a few more windows in or a huge window/bifold doors to look out at the scenery when sitting inside, bifold that lead out from the kitchen to a deck area. It's such an amazing dream space.
Really exciting project with Dome, but I can amagine it's also going to swallow a lot of $$$ to get it done. I like that there is more and more people building these unique hidden gems.
Another excellent video! And Bryan has done a great job cleaning up the "Hoarderdome"! (When I first saw the video title, I thought YOU had bought a dome!)
Dude I was just going to say KEEP the stove & move it where you said and someone can reangle the stove pipe above. That gas line move is only a couple of feet.
Just wanted to say you look awesome in that summer dress. So cute 🥰. Congratulations Brian, and good luck ❣️ you have found a hidden jem and a dream home. I am so happy for you guys!!!
That dome is a mystery just like the author of the video. I thought of two or three things; all the stuff/trash, I would just sort that out so it doesn't lay distubingly around, and find a way for the buildings to blend in with nature by laying out a garden instead. I would have kept the green house, It is probably too weak to handle snow as it had caved in like that. Heat, mind the heat from the stove planning the rooms so the heat find its way into every corner and doesn't get obstructed. Heat travels upwards so may get super hot on the top floor. Have the heat source in the center of the house appeals. And I believe some inspiration has been taken from the Art Déco design style, Good luck!
The man with the plan!!! Love what you e done with the place!!! That dome house rules! You put a lot of effort into that precious place and you must park yourself on the back for a job well done!!! Loved this video, you g lady! Excited to see the Colorado mountains where I used to live.
GREAT JOB BRian... but that place has a LOT of potential!!!! IF I were back in my 40s or younger-- I'd bulld one of those... always loved them-- EASY to heat/cool, safe, even in fires...I saw the fires in California over the mountain and there is a dome on the point at top of one- and it's all charred around there-- but that dome is sitting there just pERFECT. The family was IN it when the fire went around and they never even noticed the heat- etc.. :) THAT will make a wonderful place to be...GREAT FIND!!!!
That property is super cool. I found a tax repo hobbyfarm with a few giant buildings on it for a song. Went from underground basement apartment life in the city, to having something the size of my old city block, though 10 miles from town, in the middle of two towns that basically have everything. However, i hate yardwork, to the point of building a self driving mower bot about the size of a small car. Its half completed, adapted to a giant brush mower that does 4ft passes. Crank the music!! No nextdoor neighbors will flip out at 3am even in the middle of nowhere.
Brian reminds me a lot of myself....enjoys cars and dirt bikes, life on the road. But like me, after some traveling, would like to settle in somewhere; to find a nice piece of land to build a tiny home on and live simple is my goal, after road life.
So cool! My hats off to Brian for finding that dome home and putting all his hard work and energy towards that dream. I guess your not moving into Billbo Baggins house just yet...😉😁
Funny Brian said keep some of the retro feel. I saw this dome home as a prototype model in Gatlinburg Tennessee in 1984.It was called the Home of the Future. They were selling them. They were very cool and different This is the first one I have ever seen anywhere else.
I love unusual homes. I would leave the fireplace and level out the sunken part. I would take out sunken tub and put in a tile shower. I love the spiral staircase. The light in the iron casing is neat! Some ot the items if good or valuable could be sold on line or on Facebook market place.
"Living with such intention..." that's... profound. I know it's common perhaps, emblematic of your lifestyle and those you come across. But, wow, that sums up the tug on my own heart.
Colorado wow! A beautiful part of the world. The poem, your poetry, your choice of words throughout the video production inspire me to consider the words I use. Your 'community' is something to strive to build and be a part of also. I'm old, and have bought and sold a few time's over the last 20 odd year's. I renovated the first one because it was the trend att. Since then I have done minimal things initially to make it liveable. I found after a year or so living in the environment, inspiration, consideration and enthusiasm changed in that time. I would do smaller projects, necessary for personal comfort enough to keep enthusiasm until the true plan emerges. I knew an old man and his wife that speculatively build over 100 homes in their life and said, "there's always something you would do differently". One's time and finances are limited. To blend the retro with the new? Is one option. To keep some retro, and make the new obvious is another approach which I've seen become very successful especially amongst architects and designers. A good idea may be to use a laser measuring device to draw a plan of the existing building so Brian can put it up online to gather experienced people's input. Brian you have a gem. To not be put off by the clean up shows extraordinary foresight and determination. To you and your friends, well done. 👏 It's already been mentioned, I also would keep the greenhouse for fresh produce. Ol fart over n out. 🤠
I would do roof top landscaping, growing grass but also a vegetable garden up there. It would not only produce food, and keep it away from some of the wildlife, but also conceal the home a bit.
That's a great location. The house is amazing too, you do normally find in life that after something as been cleaned. You will find a real proper gem or treasure underneath the mess. Most the precious things are buried under dirt or water or worse. Hidden or yet to be discovered. That's a real nice find. great area as well. It looks like a magical place. Your all doing a great job,well done. 👍
Re: the HOARDING witnessed: FWIW- I was a real estate appraiser for BofA, WAMu, etc. and had Foreclosure/REO stuff as as part of my practice, but: I NEVER saw hoarding this bad! Holy shit.....HOW did they afford, buy, transport, NOT use the sheer volume of all that stuff?! That was insane.
Amazing how large that dome house is. Brian got a great deal and I can’t wait to see what he does with it. The property is so beautiful. (He’s cute too, could he become more than a friend? I approve)
@@CA-lg1do Nobody said anything about getting married. Why're you so pressed by a simple question. Bit of a pointless question. But a simple question nonetheless.
Brian you definitely have alot of work ahead my husband and I have done many remodel jobs on homes that were pretty bad. One way to make sure smells don't come through the floors paint with a lacquer paint before laying new flooring. Want to see more of your project as you make it yours.
Thats truly a gem of a place, pretty price though but probably due to the amount of ground. Would love to see this project when finished. This no it would stunning with pastel colours and lots of wood and plants
For the fireplace/stove on first floor....make that space into a rounded adobe style fireplace with a big hearth and seating. Make the firebox big enough to cook in if needed. Whitewash the exterior, embed local rocks or tiles as a decorative asethetic. The round of the stove would compliment the dome shape.
Nice! Robbyn and I will be back that way later this summer. Let him know I would love to share my carpentry skills on such a unique property. Great to see you thriving. Don’t you love this lifestyle? 😉✌️
I love this! I think found your channel because the YT algorithm directs me to Land Cruiser content and you announced your new rig. When I was a kid, I used to read my grandfather's Popular Mechanics magazines and I would see ads for these geodesic domes and imagine building one in the woods. I don't envy the work he has in front of him, but I am jealous of what he has and hope you get to share the end result!
Well, you cleaned up the place so Regretless could see it. Not buried under a pile of junk. I like the house and have similar tastes in domestic living. Good luck with this. The more you improve the house, the more money, and satisfaction, you will be putting in your pocket. Thanx to Regretless for giving us a view. Frank V
Lyss sweetie, I was rolling at the 4 min. mark when Rio was giving you the "Hey mom, why don't you ever let me drive?" look... Also, Brian I have a Masters degree in Structural Engineering and I am a General Contractor so if you run across any questions or problems just let me know. Interior design/decorating is more Lyss's area though. 👍 Lyss, BIG HUGS as always! 😍

I would love to see the floor plan in paper for that house. And to make it. Probably will put more windows, but it have a very good size
I love it too! 💚.. especially since I a few days ago started dreaming about a Fibonacci aligned housing and angles.. so the vibrations in the house stay bio harmonic/ resonant + super resilient to shakes etc.. and this round one is like the child dream of a mushroom shaped one lol ;)
I’m Scandinavian… so.. but I love the mountains there! 🙌
@@carrerasrivera i think they didn't out lots of windows in there to have better Isolation and climate control. Looks like an amazing place
That is awesome, such good memories.
How amazing that you were watching this video! Hope you connect with the new owner Brian and can see the new progress and share some of the old. It’s such a beautiful view and beautiful home!

We miss Colorado 😊 Lived not far from there, for over 10years. Spent alot of time in the mountains, enjoying the outdoors. So much to do and see.
I grew up in Woodstock NY in the 70s and 80s. That dome house is way cool.
the before and after is amazing! well done Bryan! he's living his best life, can't wait to see an update ❤
Please show his house when he’s done with it. It has so much potential!! Love it
10 acres of land and a beautiful view, that’s a jackpot. Would love to visit this and the miners community. It’s cool to see people come together
Beautiful retro property. Remember to have all brush and trees not to close to habitats and an evacuation plan in the event of wildlife.
This dome house brings back childhood memories. I'm originally from Toledo Ohio and there used to be a ice-cream shop built just like this
I know a few families that own dome homes, there pretty cool. They live down in Florida the hurricanes blow over them with no restrictions they are sound homes and i have friends in Belize that have there tropical dome homes.

And I've soloed sailed all the Atlantic Ocean side in 3 years and loved every place I went with a veterans pension with adjustments I live fine. Be safe always and be happy
This will be amazing once you are done! It has a lot of potential!
I love the idea moving and maybe replacing the cookstove heater and leveling the sunken room!
It would be nice to remove the divider wall at the entrance so it opens to most of the first level. Unless you need structural supports (could install pillars), I'd remove all of the walls save the bathroom on the second floor. Also I'd see if it would be possible to install a huge window to see the view of the mountains! That black light thing, it would be amazing to have an artist make a huge drawing across a clean wall so that in the daytime it's empty, but turn on spotlights with blacklight bulbs....WOW! That paired with a star projector would be an amazing hangout room! Since it's a dome...or essentially a UFO, a retro-future look would be amazing, like the Jetsons! A dome doesn't look good with anything antique, wooden, outdoorsy, etc...
Dome structures are self supporting structurally… whether monolithic… or some form of “wire frame” like construction. This is technically considered monolithic despite the “wire frame” or mesh reinforced concrete. Concrete and pisè du terre or rammed earth types of structures are considered monolithic, plastic, and self supported … even I suppose if tensile fabric is a substitute.
I would like a dome house and where can they be placed and are they expensive
For Brian: a sunken custom couch would be amazing in the room with the fireplace Cozy retro vibes.
Brian needs a you tube channel to share his renovations with us. What an exciting reno! What a dome..huge!!
That would be cool.
Nice to see you here again my dear daughter I love you so much and pray my God to protect you from every trouble
And keep you safe for us.
Iam your father alike my dear
Do not hesitate for anything
After all we are human being.
Regards.
That view is AMAZING !!
The whole place has to be gutted. Very little is worth salvaging. It needs mire windows; the views are so beautiful and to closed off I would skip the ‘retro’ vibe altogether. No orange or turquoise please. I would go with rustic. Wood floors. Wood countertops. Lots of wood in grey, weathered tones. White walls. Maybe one accent color; something bright like red or yellow. Lots of plants. Furniture in black or white or both. Punch the bathrooms. Accent wallpaper walls of large flowers? Or hand painted mural walls.
Congrats to Brian, dome homes are great!
8.:17 lightning got that tree.⚡⚡🎄🎄. Only thing is fire races up hill.not down.so he better have good escape plan come fire season.🔥🔥🔥🔥
Omg the dome is amazing what a fabulous space. I love the sunken lounge space.I'd rip all the carpets out and replace some of them. Moderinze the kitchen white wash it inside and out then you can see where the light and dark spots and keep sunken lounge and bath. Definately put a few more windows in or a huge window/bifold doors to look out at the scenery when sitting inside, bifold that lead out from the kitchen to a deck area. It's such an amazing dream space.
Really exciting project with Dome, but I can amagine it's also going to swallow a lot of $$$ to get it done. I like that there is more and more people building these unique hidden gems.
Another excellent video! And Bryan has done a great job cleaning up the "Hoarderdome"!
(When I first saw the video title, I thought YOU had bought a dome!)
That's called clichbait
@@wzroq 💯%
Dude I was just going to say KEEP the stove & move it where you said and someone can reangle the stove pipe above. That gas line move is only a couple of feet.
My final project for drafting school in college was a monolithic dome home.
I don't know, the thumbnail title was a bit of click bait. My initial take was, "wait, she is going to buy a dome home?". Wrong.
Just wanted to say you look awesome in that summer dress. So cute 🥰. Congratulations Brian, and good luck ❣️ you have found a hidden jem and a dream home. I am so happy for you guys!!!
Thank you Alyssa and Rio 🐾stay safe and take care my friends 🙏 ✌️
LOve the Dome Idea for a house but only in the mountains with views like that
That would be a great bachelor pad/mancave🙂 so many thing I would do and would love to see his final project!
That dome is a mystery just like the author of the video. I thought of two or three things; all the stuff/trash, I would just sort that out so it doesn't lay distubingly around, and find a way for the buildings to blend in with nature by laying out a garden instead. I would have kept the green house, It is probably too weak to handle snow as it had caved in like that. Heat, mind the heat from the stove planning the rooms so the heat find its way into every corner and doesn't get obstructed. Heat travels upwards so may get super hot on the top floor. Have the heat source in the center of the house appeals. And I believe some inspiration has been taken from the Art Déco design style, Good luck!
The man with the plan!!! Love what you e done with the place!!! That dome house rules! You put a lot of effort into that precious place and you must park yourself on the back for a job well done!!! Loved this video, you g lady! Excited to see the Colorado mountains where I used to live.
GREAT JOB BRian... but that place has a LOT of potential!!!! IF I were back in my 40s or younger-- I'd bulld one of those... always loved them-- EASY to heat/cool, safe, even in fires...I saw the fires in California over the mountain and there is a dome on the point at top of one- and it's all charred around there-- but that dome is sitting there just pERFECT. The family was IN it when the fire went around and they never even noticed the heat- etc.. :) THAT will make a wonderful place to be...GREAT FIND!!!!
That property is super cool.
I found a tax repo hobbyfarm with a few giant buildings on it for a song.
Went from underground basement apartment life in the city, to having something the size of my old city block, though 10 miles from town, in the middle of two towns that basically have everything.
However, i hate yardwork, to the point of building a self driving mower bot about the size of a small car. Its half completed, adapted to a giant brush mower that does 4ft passes.
Crank the music!! No nextdoor neighbors will flip out at 3am even in the middle of nowhere.
Brian reminds me a lot of myself....enjoys cars and dirt bikes, life on the road. But like me, after some traveling, would like to settle in somewhere; to find a nice piece of land to build a tiny home on and live simple is my goal, after road life.
Amazing to have such good friends that come in when you really need it
❤
Brian's got a lot of good ideas beautiful place good luck and have a wonderful year
Try painting the wood work black. Black and white is reminiscent of the 1950’s. Good luck. Thanks for letting us see it.
So cool! My hats off to Brian for finding that dome home and putting all his hard work and energy towards that dream.
I guess your not moving into Billbo Baggins house just yet...😉😁
Funny Brian said keep some of the retro feel. I saw this dome home as a prototype model in Gatlinburg Tennessee in 1984.It was called the Home of the Future. They were selling them. They were very cool and different This is the first one I have ever seen anywhere else.
Such a cool house! Can’t wait to see what Brian does with it! Amazing views! Also love his friend’s abandoned mine place! Absolutely beautiful!
I love unusual homes. I would leave the fireplace and level out the sunken part. I would take out sunken tub and put in a tile shower. I love the spiral staircase. The light in the iron casing is neat! Some ot the items if good or valuable could be sold on line or on Facebook market place.
"Living with such intention..." that's... profound. I know it's common perhaps, emblematic of your lifestyle and those you come across. But, wow, that sums up the tug on my own heart.
I love this Wendall Berry poem " the peace of wild things"
Wendell Berry 💕 the first time I read that poem it stopped me dead in my tracks. He knows wheres it at.
Love him too!
Colorado wow!
A beautiful part of the world.
The poem, your poetry, your choice of words throughout the video production inspire me to consider the words I use.
Your 'community' is something to strive to build and be a part of also.
I'm old, and have bought and sold a few time's over the last 20 odd year's.
I renovated the first one because it was the trend att. Since then I have done minimal things initially to make it liveable. I found after a year or so living in the environment, inspiration, consideration and enthusiasm changed in that time. I would do smaller projects, necessary for personal comfort enough to keep enthusiasm until the true plan emerges.
I knew an old man and his wife that speculatively build over 100 homes in their life and said, "there's always something you would do differently".
One's time and finances are limited.
To blend the retro with the new? Is one option. To keep some retro, and make the new obvious is another approach which I've seen become very successful especially amongst architects and designers.
A good idea may be to use a laser measuring device to draw a plan of the existing building so Brian can put it up online to gather experienced people's input.
Brian you have a gem. To not be put off by the clean up shows extraordinary foresight and determination. To you and your friends, well done. 👏
It's already been mentioned, I also would keep the greenhouse for fresh produce.
Ol fart over n out. 🤠
You've got 10 acres. Build your tiny house somewhere else and fix that greenhouse. Food shortages are on the horizon.
I would do roof top landscaping, growing grass but also a vegetable garden up there. It would not only produce food, and keep it away from some of the wildlife, but also conceal the home a bit.
Your so refreshing and open minded people who live there lifestyle any how part of living being happy and looking forward and planning
That's a great location. The house is amazing too, you do normally find in life that after something as been cleaned. You will find a real proper gem or treasure underneath the mess. Most the precious things are buried under dirt or water or worse. Hidden or yet to be discovered. That's a real nice find. great area as well. It looks like a magical place. Your all doing a great job,well done. 👍
What a cool place. Kudos to you Bryan!
Put a Sauna where the Hot tub was.
Re: the HOARDING witnessed: FWIW- I was a real estate appraiser for BofA, WAMu, etc. and had Foreclosure/REO stuff as as part of my practice, but: I NEVER saw hoarding this bad! Holy shit.....HOW did they afford, buy, transport, NOT use the sheer volume of all that stuff?! That was insane.
Thank you for the poem by Wendell Berry....just what I needed to hear.
Amazing how large that dome house is. Brian got a great deal and I can’t wait to see what he does with it. The property is so beautiful. (He’s cute too, could he become more than a friend? I approve)
@@CA-lg1do Nobody said anything about getting married. Why're you so pressed by a simple question. Bit of a pointless question. But a simple question nonetheless.
Brian you definitely have alot of work ahead my husband and I have done many remodel jobs on homes that were pretty bad. One way to make sure smells don't come through the floors paint with a lacquer paint before laying new flooring. Want to see more of your project as you make it yours.
Thats truly a gem of a place, pretty price though but probably due to the amount of ground. Would love to see this project when finished. This no it would stunning with pastel colours and lots of wood and plants
Very cool. Cheers to the future.
my favorite poem! Wendell Berry is amazing!
The ending of this video is exactly a place that I would love to spend the rest of my days living at.
All I can say is: Wow!!!!! Nice job Brian!!!!😁😁😁😁
For the fireplace/stove on first floor....make that space into a rounded adobe style fireplace with a big hearth and seating. Make the firebox big enough to cook in if needed. Whitewash the exterior, embed local rocks or tiles as a decorative asethetic. The round of the stove would compliment the dome shape.
So big inside, wow ! Congrats !
This is a really cool video and that house is super awesome. And the view is amazing, I absolutely love the mountains. They speak to my soul..😊
Well you got one hell of a deal. Wish I could find one in my area. Summer you stay cool winter you stay warm.
Awesome ! That dome has a lot of potential ! Another great video . You Rock !
OMG, that is the most amazing thing I've seen. can't wait to see it when it's done. I now want a Concrete Dome home! Monolithic. Love it.
I like the heater where is can sit around it and have a nice comfy chair by the window . Yes level the floor. Just initial thoughts:)
My favorite poem.
THANK YOU for showing this.... I LOVE these things... and to see YOU and he checking it out-- loved it!!!!
Nice! Robbyn and I will be back that way later this summer. Let him know I would love to share my carpentry skills on such a unique property. Great to see you thriving. Don’t you love this lifestyle? 😉✌️
I love this! I think found your channel because the YT algorithm directs me to Land Cruiser content and you announced your new rig. When I was a kid, I used to read my grandfather's Popular Mechanics magazines and I would see ads for these geodesic domes and imagine building one in the woods. I don't envy the work he has in front of him, but I am jealous of what he has and hope you get to share the end result!
Well, you cleaned up the place so Regretless could see it. Not buried under a pile of junk. I like the house and have similar tastes in domestic living. Good luck with this. The more you improve the house, the more money, and satisfaction, you will be putting in your pocket. Thanx to Regretless for giving us a view. Frank V
great video I love that area the view of the mountains the little streams and waterfalls. I want to live there sometime
The Rockies are so beautiful and it captures one’s sole. It’s Truly where God kissed the earth and said, “Done”
Lyss sweetie, I was rolling at the 4 min. mark when Rio was giving you the "Hey mom, why don't you ever let me drive?" look... Also, Brian I have a Masters degree in Structural Engineering and I am a General Contractor so if you run across any questions or problems just let me know. Interior design/decorating is more Lyss's area though. 👍 Lyss, BIG HUGS as always! 😍
You absolutely steal mother nature's sunshine 😮💯🔥🙏
How incredible !
What a lifestyle !
Scandinavian style would look amazing in this home. :) Japanese style would also be great.
Brian proposed with ring aka wall electrical fixture. The lingering memory to remember you your dog do e and I forever!!!!
Loving all of your travels and adventures 💕 Your free and Beautiful to do what ever you like. Stay safe my Friend , till next time .
This was an awesome video. Have you ever been to Michigan and the Upper Peninsula? We do get all four seasons over here.
Great job Brian!
