"Building My Own Dome Home"

Welcome to my online journal I have created for the building of my Dome home!

There are pictures posted there as I move through each phase of the process.
I appreciate any and all encouragement,advice,comments,suggestions etc.

My goal has been and continues to be, to build this geodesic dome home completely mortage free. So far, so good. Some months I have little or no money to buy materials and others are better. There is always "something" that can be done at little or no cost. It may be slower to build this way, but in the long run I will be better off for it!

I first saw a geodesic dome home back in
1976 and was amazed with the design!
I knew very little about them at that time.
All of that has changed in the last 30+ years!
In the search for a house design, to replace an
old worn out mobile home that I had,
I rediscovered the Geodesic Dome!

I chose to build a 29' diameter "Mid Profile" designed dome that allows for three extension openings. I bought the hubs, connectors and plans from Natural Spaces Domes in Minnesota during the winter of 2001. I spent the time up until May of 2003 gathering up the lumber, prefabricating the dome struts and exterior panels as per the plans.
The building site is three waterfront lots overlooking a really nice stretch of a 5000 acre lake here in Kentucky.
Absolutely beautiful location!
