    I drive by that all the time. I'd say they're the experts at them by now. Their tiny house domes are pretty cool, they look like a loaf of bread with a door.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    There are a lot of good things to say about monolithic domes. Usually you can become your contractor and do a lot of the work yourself. Two main things that come to mind are no roofing shingles to mess with on the outside, and no drywall to put up on the inside. They can be designed in almost any size and shape...but they are a bit to modern and smooth for my taste. I saw my first geodesic dome as a kid in the back of a Popular Science magazine, and thought they were the bees knees. I had just about forgot about them, and this little thing called the Internet brought my curiosity back...and the rest they say is history

    RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

    Amend that to I can not post pictures due to not having a high enough post count.
    Nobody can upload pictures. But you can link them, no troubles.

    I love the hugely open concept that it allows.
