Welcome to DomeHome Canada

The interest in unconventional homes is very high due to many factors. The high cost of conventional homes is driving some to look at attractive alternatives. We have seen homes made from a variety of materials, some interesting and some so abstract as to question sanity of the builder. Depending on location there are homes build from STRAW, RAMMED EARTH, TIRES, SHORT LOGS, BOTTLES ETC. However the most practical and most efficient as well as the longest life home is the properly constructed underground home. Made from poured concrete life expectance is in excess on 1000 years and coupled with efficiency and low maintenance these homes have a large following. The demographics of interest are in our favor since the younger people have through education a greater degree of understanding of energy conservation and environmental factors. They are in tune with everything that is available in an underground home. Also it appears that they are able to think out side of the box in most cases. We invite you to read further about our unique project.

Latest News and Announcements:

December 7, 2004
New photos have been posted in our gallery. More news will be posted soon as our project progresses.

December 3, 2004
The project is progressing despite the mud. Pumper truck had to be pulled out on Tuesday after pouring the front footing. We have to excavate down on the front to build a gravel road for trucks and to allow the forming trailer to enter the footings to erect the walls and roof form. We are starting from the master bedroom module and working towards the garage. I will take more photos real soon but due to bad memory I forgot the camera last trip. First module is due to be poured on Tuesday, December 7th, and last one should be done about December 18th or sooner (weather permitting). Royce/Tatiana

PROGRESS AND NEW PARTNERS CONFIRMED
I wish to welcome new partners in DomeHome Canada, InLine Fiberglass Windows will provide us with the four sets of sliding patio doors covering the entire front of our house. These are top quality products utilizing fiberglass frames that have lowest thermal conductivity and expansion and contraction is lowest of most materials. Not cheap but energy efficient.
FIBROTEC DOOR AND WINDOW MFG. is our supplier for the front door. As leak proof as they come and near zero maintenance plus tripple locking system and also made of fiberglass. Last but not least is St Marys CBM Concrete Products will supply the 300 plus meters of concrete for our underghound home. We will add some photos soon including picture of Guelph University Students meeting to discuss the project that they are starting on alternative housing and our underground home in particular. See you soon. Royce/Tanya

November 25, 2004
Contractors have been on site for three days now and footings have been laid out and forms started. Weather is ok but not good. Ground is soft that makes for problems with vehicles. I will get some photos on board real soon so you can follow the action. Main items have been ordered and as domes go up we can close it in and get to work on the inside. Not much to tell but that's all for now.

November 22, 2004
Contractor has been contacted and should arrive on Tuesday PM. Just finalizing quotes on concrete and pumper truck and Hydro One has done final hook up to wiring. Next few days should have lots more photos. Have meeting Tues with Guelph University students concerning project on underground housing. Waiting as fast as I can for everyone to show up to do their part. See you soon. Royce/Tatiana
