a new house, thoughts?
I am thinking within 2 years I want to buy some land and build a house. Anyone here live in a Dome ? I really think the concept is cool and love the way they look. Thoughts? Only Con is that it may not have very good resale and loans are sometimes harder to get.
some pros are they can resist tornado hurricains and earthquakes. Last edited by PatrickB; 09-30-2004 at 08:27 AM. |

Expanding might be a pain. My dad an some of his pals recently helped add a wing of classrooms onto a nearby geodesic dome church sanctuary building. I went by one day while the framing was underway, and noticed all the angle cuts required looked like a carpenter's nightmare. He said fitting the drywall was even worse.

If those dome houses are as strong as you say, maybe one day they'll catch on and be the most common structure to live in. But for now, the design is still very avant garde... -Chike
