One of the tricky things is to get all the paperwork & contractors organized so things happen in the proper sequence. The easy (and more expensive) way to go about this is to simply hire a builder to take care of everything for you, or you can act as your own general contractor and hire all the workers yourself, or, if you're handy and have a LOT of free time, you can do all the work yourself. I opted to go the second route, and save only the dome construction and a few other easy tasks for myself. We were lucky in that we already knew, and trusted, just about everyone else we needed to finish the job.

Foundation Our foundation was constructed with "Arxx High Performance Wall System" (formerly BlueMaxx) poured in place foam blocks.

(The ones in the ads with the elephant standing on them. Dome Shell After personally visiting four major dome kit manufacturers, we chose the hub and strut system of Timberline Geodesics of Berkeley California. Insulation We are planning to use the Icynene Spray foam insulation system. Heating We have decided on a Smith Series 8 low mass oil fired boiler. Our hot water will come from a Phase III HL Indirect water heater heated by a zone off the boiler. We will also have a Heat-N-Glo see-thru gas fireplace that produces 40,000 BTU/HR. Ventilating We expect the house to be "tight" from an air changes point of view, so we plan to install a Venmar - VanEE heat recovery ventilator. Septic System
