As a union construction worker since the 1970's, I've usually been amused by how incompetent most "home builders" tend to be, but plainly you are in the opposite camp. Everything you've shown here is a fine example of how a professional builder would do things right. I'm impressed.

That skylight is gorgeous

Over the years, I've helped a builder friend of mine put together a number of geodesic dome he designed. They are made from SIP (structural insulated panels) and are super cool. Your done here is very intriguing. $7,000 is a very reasonable cost. And the sky light? Amazing! This is a beautiful structure!

An impressively stable build without complex bevels. Making a lot of the parts identical looks very helpful!

Thanks, Scott! Yes I am really impressed with the Zomes ofrm and function.

Thanks for walking us through the process. I'm thinking of putting one of these on my land and now I am even more confident it is do-able.

Hi Johnny, Thanks for putting the video together and posting it. My favourite part was picking up the tip about how to set a reliable stop without a permanent workbench. I always pick something up in your videos. I'd say there is a good chance I will try a zome once I have finished the current dome. Outbuildings are making the project drag on....

I just bought the plans for the 16' version of this. I plan to modify it a little so the center of the foundation is a tree stump. I feel like it'll give it mushroom vibes.

Pretty sweet idea, it turned out real nice. Just my 2 cents, I would have primed all of the pieces and the floor before I put it together. That way all of your plywood is nice and sealed up.

That was awesome.

Very cool building. I didn't think about the cost of goods there being on such a small island. It's through the roof here in NZ. I think min wage here is about $26NZD -20% tax at the lowest rate. A good healthy loaf of bread here is $10-12. Take aways are about $25/meal for cheap fast food

Great job as always. Ty for shearing. Are dome's the most energy efficient structures for supper hot summers ? And would you say a small dome can handle not using a ac on 90 degree Fahrenheit days ? I'm wanting to build a small studio for my standing desk. What clear material do you suggest as I want a great view.

@trilliumdomes

Жыл бұрын

Domes are extremely efficient because they generally have 30% less surface area per unit of volume. You would need a lot of insulation to not need AC on a 90 degree day but you can do that.

I haven't! But I guarantee it would be stamped, even if a few simple changes / hardware callouts would be made.

What software are you using for the plans and the plywood cuts etc?

Are these zomes like the zomes Steve Baer (and others) made out of car hoods in Drop City in the seventies?

I like the Zome green house, can it be down sized to 10 or 12 feet?

@trilliumdomes

4 ай бұрын

The acorn zome plan we have is about that size but yes any of the plans can be scaled!

Just wondering when screwing the panels together, is it more difficult without the bevel? When I assembled my panels the bevel provided a nice solid surface that i clamped, wiggled a little for good alingment, then screwed. I am trying to picture how panels would be assembled without being able to clamp. Also, from the outside, before covering you must glimpse screws as the pass from one panel to the next? Lastly, for now,😅 is the time you saved, just the time to send all the struts through the table saw to put the bevel on it? Nothing boring or dry about your video BTW. Such a generous unique contribution to the world of dome building. 😊

@trilliumdomes

Жыл бұрын

Good questions! I do not find it more difficult to screw them in without the bevels! Not significantly anyway. We were still able to use clamps. And yes you will see the gaps and screws before you cover the zome, which is why I only recommend this method if it will indeed be covered up. The time saved was mostly not having to make a bunch of compound cuts!

The skylight is very beautiful. But for a sunny place like Hawaii there's a lot of solar gain. 3200 btu's per hour per SQ ft. I would go with a solar tube . About 290 sq ft of light that doesn't move on the inside.

@trilliumdomes

Жыл бұрын

Hilo is a very rainy place. They wanted to be able to see the rain and starts through the skylight, which was amazing. The solar gain throughout the day was totally fine

Are your zome and dome plans mitered and beveled so there are no gaps inside and out?
