@Jonjon I am about 4hrs away but only 2+- from my off grid farm I am building on. We should stay in touch. I have all the equipment and have ran a test or two. Problems with foam but I now have the Drexell . I have not tested it yet. My plans are to build a 21' dia. Aircrete dome for starters, and live in it a year to see what is good and what is lacking before I build out the adjoining rooms.

I will be looking for others who would be interested in helping to get experience. I would love to attend a workshop but they are expensive and never close enough to me to attempt it.

Stay on this forum. It is loaded with good advice and a lot of peoples experiences good and bad. Both are vital to your learning. Aircrete is a fascinating technology which is doing it's part in creating a better world for all of mankind. Just think of all the possibilities we have not yet thought up.

@ormom8 Yes! Aircrete presents us with new paradigms of creativity. You could just tack your wiring up to the inside of the walls and finish with the earthen or "other" finish. Then if you need to change it just scratch them out. They would only be an inch or so deep. and re-plaster. The conduit would provide some protection from something banging into the walls and shorting out a wire. I encourage everyone to NOT create new "Aircrete rules boxes". Live creatively and outside the "boxes"

@upwinger A router would work just fine. You could just scratch a trench (very easy to do) and lay the wire, tacking it up with staples then applying the finish layer. I only thought of the conduit to make "rewiring " easy if I have to replace a faulty wire.

My plan is to simply carve a trench large enough to lay the conduit (plastic) in the inner wall and then apply my fabric and finish coat. It will be easy to pull wire and easy to tear out and replace or move if ever necessary.

@upwinger Except for humidity problems I love the indoor waterfall idea.

My thoughts on a PVC zip-tie type inner dome to support dome blocks. 1st the zip tie system is geodesic and would not support a "dome" block layout. I had the thought of building the zip tie then bending either EMT or suitably flexible PVC around at the height of the top of the blocks to hold in true circular pattern for that course of blocks. You could then move the "ring " of PVC up and adjust for the next layer or have several "rings" in place so as the lower courses set up enough the remove the lower "ring" and move to the top.

This would of course add cost and complexity to the final build but may be offset by easier construction, especially for those who do not have a crew of helpers on hand like me. Also my thought was that you would be able to dissemble it and reassemble for future domes.

I am building a pod type system over time , possibly 3 to 4 21' diam domes connected plus several structures for animals and storage. I will most likely go with the established way of doing it but I am visualizing the possibilities. It would be cool if you could have some sort of inflatable thing you could just lay block on and then just let the air out and be done. I suppose money could do anything but us low, fixed retard folks just have to do it the regular way. BUT I will never stop innovative dreaming. Cheers and blessings to all.

Sure, go to https://www.domegaia.com. Then click on "Aircrete" Then click on "Recipies" ( image url).
Read toword the bottom and find Fabric Glue. To my understanding this waterproofs your structure.

@claudettn I encourage you to read thru all the provided literature on the DomeGaia web sight. Most questions have been addressed there.
