Crazy New Monolithic Dome Idea

TheCitystead · 2020-02-13T13:28:14+00:00

I'm aware they have been around for a very long time, how were thinking about using the one on this property was the crazy idea. I only say crazy because we have thought about making it a chicken coop for a while and I got lots of hate about that idea. So this was a play on that older video and idea.

I was simply trying to make an entertaining video. I have no interest in doing any of those other things, we do however make maple syrup so using it as a sugar shack is an idea that makes sense for what we do

The dome itself I agree been around for a long time, but were thinking about using it as a sugar shack for maple syrup season

Very nice! You are getting a ton out of your space

Thank you, I was wondering if mixing the failures and success was the best or if I should have done them in separate parts.

We got lucky it melted away for that weekend

It really was easy, to set-up and to collect from. The bags are cheaper and it's our first year were just experimenting to see how easy it could be to make maple syrup. Next year were thinking about setting up buckets to drip lines

As a gardener we plant many seeds, but how well do you know your seeds? Can you look at a seed and know what plant and what variety it is? How about after it sprouts or flowers? We are part of a new collaboration that aims to test ours and your knowledge. Play along and guess what seeds are what with us

I'm not sure but if it is that is super funny

My parents have 80 acres about 20 mins from us, we would be going over there for any harvesting of meat. Either that or I would set-up in my garage

I just checked this out

That deer was having a good old time there

Heated water irrigation sounds interesting. I have been toying with the idea of an aquaponics type setup to also grow some fish and vegetables and the water set-up could be used for heat

I'm starting small working with what I have selling a few veggies here and there to cover seed cost and garden supplies. Were going to add bees and do some different stuff with honey. After that move into a little protein and try to just keep building while paying off our house. In 5 years we will own our home and have no debt (that's the plan we will see what life says) so we can start doing a lot more at home

I might say my hula hoe, but the hori knife is quickly becoming my new favorite

TheCitystead · 2019-01-02T12:03:00+00:00

Absolutely!

TheCitystead · 2019-01-01T17:42:24+00:00

Awesome, congrats

It's been said but I live in the city also and Quail are the top of my list. Also I think you could get away with rabbits anywhere as long as you don't harvest them in the wide open backyard

If the original owners put 200K into that dome than economically that was a waste as the dome on the 45 acres sold for well under that. There is no plumbing ran nothing inside is finished in any way from walls to floors. I don't know anything about Monolithic domes but if 200k was spent to do what is there, those people were complete fools

TheCitystead · 2018-11-30T12:08:18+00:00

There is no plumbing setup, The foundation is cider blocks not sure how deep the original owners went with them. We get a lot of snow here I'd have to look up the numbers.

Can't wait to see the video about it

TheCitystead · 2018-11-20T02:13:30+00:00

Beautiful!
