      @ormom8 I am in Victoria BC and I have an architect that is preparing a "Alternative Solution" for the CRD building inspectors and I am expecting my building permit any day now.

    • RE: 35'Diameter, 2 level/story, Half Sphere Dome In Canada

      Hello Kintore I am attempting to build a 24' dome using a one foot off set which will give me about a 18' height. I am building a 3 1/2" wall thickness and after seeing a video with a blowtorch on one side and after an hour he could touch the other side without feeling much heat. Therefore I am thinking that even 3 1/2" thickness will be warm enough for my Victoria area. I will be building a second story in my dome. I have been trying for eight months to get a building permit. I have at last found an architect that will prepare an "Alternate Solution" report that will enable a building permit to be issued. It will cost me $3540.00.

    • RE: Aircrete In Canada

      @spectrumjim Hello I am attempting to get a building permit is Victoria and CRD have given me a form called "Alternative Solutions" and I have emailed Hajjar as he is an architect and the Chief building inspector has indicated they will issue a building permit if Hajjar signs the form. Good luck in Nelson.

      Hello Kintore I am trying to build a 24' base dome on Vancouver Island but am having a major issue getting a building permit. They want an engineers approval of the drawings before they will accept it. Good Luck. Bob

    • RE: Fabric Glue Recipe

      The Domegaia recipe does not call for sand. Are you suggesting I use a different bonding agent?

    • Fabric Glue Recipe

      I am assuming this recipe is to be put on over the aircrete then the fabric and then another coat. I used a bonding adhesive call quikrete. When mixed it was very thick and dried almost as fast as I could rowel it on. Then the cloth would not stick to the first coat. I ended up watering the mixer down and tried again. I am waiting to see the results . Am I using the wrong bonding agent??
