    Surprise...domeguy lives in a dome

    I am curious about the rest of the world that does not live in a dome. As stated above, domegal and I live in a 50' geodesic dome, built on a 4' riser wall that is of my own design. We also have a 24' dome built on a 6' riser wall. I was a factory worker at the time we started building, and my wife is a nurse in our small town. We built the dome by ourselves over 1 1/2 years and didn't even have blueprints. The bank gave us the loan with only a rough drawing of the floor plan, which by the way, I kept revising on the go.
    I am curious if anyone else has built their own prepper home, and what special goodies did you put into it. Is it under ground, or maybe up on the side of a rocky cliff? Did you build in a safe room, or maybe trap doors in the floor?
    And if you made it this far reading this post, you get the big prize. You get to tell us what you would do to build your own prepper paradise.

    I am not allowed to post pictures.
    Amend that to I can not post pictures due to not having a high enough post count.

    For some reason or another I didn't think of this the other day when you mentioned attachments, but long story short, none of us can upload directly to the site. You have to use an image hosting site like photobucket or image shack and paste the link here. I personally like photobucket, because its image link pastes directly in here with no fuss.

    I would be interested Dome in seeing what you have done.Strangely enough, when I get the property I want, I will build a concrete quonset hut and then shotcrete over it.
    Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, Virginia House of Burgesses, March 23, 1775

    Quo Vadis?

    Luke 22:36, And he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

    I know a concrete guy if you need to learn how...
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    While not having a dome, I've often thought about building one. On my trips back to see family a slight detour takes me through Italy, TX, home of Monolithic Domes, Inc. A really fascinating design concept.
