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.

Today I have been finalizing some of the quotes and ordering windows and doors, skylights, concrete as well as sending out drawings to final sub contractors. Concrete work should start on Monday and I will have photos on going. The well should go in next couple of days and hope to have some photos of that event. Stay tuned. Royce/Tatiana

We had the soil test today and all is ok and the building inspector is happy. The contractors to do the concrete are on their way and should be starting footings in two days. Monday we visited a new partner that manufactures low volume toilets that actually flush properly. NaigaraFlapperless toilets do not use a tank valve instead they fill a tray that rotates and dumps resulting in a perfect flush. We have a link to their web site and we purchased three toilets for the home. The rebar is being delivered today and I hope to be ready for construction. Weather is holding but the weekend calls for some rain. Not a big problem but not desireable. Keep in touch. Royce

To-day we had the electrician finish the service from the pole to the corner of the house where the meter will be installed. We had to hook up to the grid system due to mortgage requirements. It is near impossible to get financing if you do not have traditional energy and heating instalations. I will be in a position to look at alternative sources in the future. I have contacted concrete contractors to determine date of arrival and will keep you all informed of progress. More photos of excavation.

Excavation is complete and ready for the footings. but we have to have the well and electricity installed. The excavator Wayne Bowman did an excellent job and watching him operate the big JD Hoe was like watching a balleria move about the stage, every movement was smooth and flowed into the next. Great job Wayne. Will see you when we back fill. Stay tuned for more updates and we have added photos. Royce/Tatiana
