wow nice. It looks like you have lots of quality and experience. Carry on!

Photos and videos can be helpful because it will help me to know more about the ways to do trenchless sewer repair

Thankyou that sound awesome as we are comming so far need to have as much notice as possible very excited and looking forward to comming

@Kintore Hi, imagine you are in a hemisphere and walk towards the perimeter. How close can you get before bumping your head. This is one of the biggest benefits of the Domegaia solution - you gain all that space under the curve. The other benefit is aesthetic - it looks beaut!

@Samson-Jones If you have not already tried this. I would say aircrete used directly as flooring will flake off a dangerous to inhale dust. So no, I would certainly coat it with a "milk" layer that includes laytex.

@Ignacio-DHOME Thanks Ignacio!

@seanster just saw this post. How is it going?

That's a nice idea, it's a pity no one supported it. I'll get back home and take a look, there's something I can add.

I thank you both for the information. As mentioned I don't think there will be much of a load on the steps and the footer under them. I too am in Hawaii--on the Big Island in North Kohala. I want to use aircrete but only if it is 'doable'. I was reading in the some of the posts here, that the use of a 'fabric' adds the much-needed strength to the building as a whole. I'm wondering if it will add some compression strength to the steps and footing if I were to wrap them, once completed in the fabric that is set in 'airmortar'. I am very new to this and want to do more with aircrete in the future, that is why I would like to figure out a way to do this footing and set of steps using it, instead of the 'quickcrete' that I have used in the past for projects. I like the idea of a 1/2" of mortar over everything and even using tile over the aircrete seems like it would certainly disperse the compression load. Any and all comment/suggestions are more than welcome. Mahalo for getting back to me. Aloha...

@Ignacio-DHOME muchas gracias Ignacio..ni bien tenga mi dragon y mezclador comenzaré con mi prueba error y les estaré consultando.

I have wondered about this too. It is a concern that the aircrete blocks may not stand up to the pressure of the soil if used in an Earthship-like scenario.

@yuvaraj Any updates?

@JohnThailand
sorry i lost ur mail.... now i got it 🙂
JOHN, as i told u that i will not build a dome anymore. it was a nice idea.
i made different types of bricks, i still have some samples. and the tool for the foam. it works fine. u have to experiment urself, then u will see, its not as easy as u may think. to build the foam mashine was the most difficult, to make the bricks was just easy. u can get the mashine for a reasonable donation even the foam liquit if u want to make ur own experience.

@RobertC

There is a builder in Florida builds storm domes over 20 years.. he may know still trying to find him over Internet.. he a business person Florida been into dome storm shelters long long time .. I was just at that site alibaba and saw portal domes easy to build one day ship you a dome less 8,000!!! Or 5500.00 bucks can’t buopd with aircrete etc I look at all that is out there just for knowledge education I go everywhere to find out stuffs.. only state truly had no building codes is Texas .. Wyoming you need sewer but rest as long it’s outsyde city etc some putting tires on domes because they laws are so bad turn domes into mobile homes .. the system is for tree based homes not ego friendly .. all I can say loops holes.. their maybe me laws that use write as a emergency shelter so it bends the rules in your favors Montana is sorta ok but still reservations it’s worse my family lives pow camps that can’t some pow camps plant a orange tree afraid we’d over power the federal government it’s that bad America.

I think it might be a modified spa wand. A cleaning device for a jacuzzilink text

@anthonydjones Thanks a lot!

AMAZING. Huge congrats. Thank you, I'll drop you an e-mail right now!

Trey, did you have any luck?

@HandyDan Clearly. Thus, the question is, given that the foam collapses under pressure, therefore requiring shallow pours and thereby creating layers: how does one create a sealed form that is fit for purpose? It is imagined that it would be best conceived as either a multi layer form that is added to layer by layer, or a form that can be raised and adapted to the next level.

Having no form work experience, I do not have the answer.

3 gallons of Dresses foam agent

Can you pleas describe or provide a link to this "Dresses foam agent"? I can't find it.
There are also other almost identical foaming agents available at local farm stores.
They are used for "row marking" where the tractor squirts droplets of foam so they can mark where they went.
