@cturtle, I left the island for a long time during the eruption, only just got back 4 weeks ago, so nothing has happened yet.

It won’t let me check out without it. Will you refund the $24?

Waiting on an answer to this...

Why is there a $24 shipping charge being automatically and unavoidably added to my registration for 2 attendees to the 1 day workshop in Kalapana?

@domegaia I just got notification that my Little Dragon shipped - one day after a back-order notification... shipped from Brooklyn?! Ironic, as I moved here from Astoria, Queens...

Truth is I am going to need a Green Dragon. I've read that you have an updated model that isn't being sold on the site yet... Even an older model will do, but I need one pronto.

I sent an email to info@domegaia.com describing my plans. I have experience in light construction and plan to build 16' dome molds with 1/2" PVC pipe, 18 vertical arcs 30 degrees apart and 10 horizontal hoops 1' apart, assembled with Tee and cross fittings secured with self-tapping screws (not PVC pipe cement, as the frame will be disassembled and re-used many times) to which I will affix chicken wire to hold the external shape, vinyl plastic sheeting or polyester fabric as a non-stick barrier and galvanized mesh that will remain in the aircrete for added strength. Of course, there will be an inner frame as well, same premise. All the layers will be wire-tied to the PVC frame, which will be supported internally with 2x4's. The plan is to pour in place a monolithic dome.

It's ambitious but I am very sure it will work, not with dish-soap though. I haven't been able to get Drexel foam, so I got Trekker Trax foaming agent from the agricultural supply store near the Hilo dump, which is basically identical to Drexel foam. Same 160:1 ratio.

Monolithic pyramids will be much easier, I'm sure, so I figured I'd get the more challenging shape out of the way first...

There will be a bit of a spa on my land here. I'll be pouring galvanized mesh, or possibly galvanized field fence reinforced aircrete basins for flotation tanks that will be inside pyramids. Given the sound insulation capabilities of aircrete, I imagine it is a perfect use. Also, a recording studio - another perfect use.

Very excited to begin this project, and would very much appreciate any help you can afford me, preferably in the form of a Green Dragon to rent, borrow or buy!

My son and I are on a great piece of land in upper Opihikao. I've been flooded with ideas about building with aircrete, and am anxiously awaiting the delivery of the Dragon kit I ordered last week. We're into ferrocement-style internally reinforced monolithic structures, poured in place into carefully constructed, large molds. Domes and pyramids.
