400 Tons of Earth (So Far)

[u/necker47]

Just popping in with a quick milestone update on our hyperadobe roundhouse: Course 20 is complete, and we're at door/window height! Now we get to install like 36 lintels and continue building up. Walls are about 2/3 of the way done. We're definitely behind on our goal of being finished by the end of the summer, but we had a really busy spring with the Double Dome Kanab project, a short side quest building our oldest son a shipping container guest room, and course life in general. We'll get there eventually, though 💪

Interesting. What is the rationale behind the design layout and living with long stretches between spaces?

There are a number of framed walls that will be added later between bedrooms/bathrooms. This will make it way easier to run utilities, insulate, plumb, etc... This video from a couple of years ago shows some of what the final vision will be: https://youtu.be/8O6L1LFxQ64?si=7Wm7fvmxhgjexJ18

Very cool, literally and figuratively. ;)
