| These are the panels that will be used to build the house. They are made up of 7" foam insulation and ~2" of steel-reinforced concrete. These particular panels are for the garage. | These are all of the panels that will be needed to construct our home. There are well over 100 panels here, plus the supplies neeed to put them together. That's some expensive foam! :-) |

| We had to bring in quite a bit of dirt to raise and level the ground for our home. At this point, we are just waiting for the permitting office to get their act together so we can start building! | In this photo, you can see the form for the main dome. The plumber is in the middle of laying the pipes before the foundation is poured. From front to back (left to right in this photo), the house meausres 48'. |

| In this photo, I (Jennifer), am standing in my dining room to be, looking towards the garage. That large pipe coming from the garage makes a stop at the full bath we are installing. | As of today, May 19, we expect the foundation to be poured within a week and be ready for inspection by Monday, May 28. Once that is done, we'll wait 2 weeks and then, if all goes as planned, the dome will be constructed. It should take about 3 weeks for that process to be complete. We'll post more photos once the foundation is complete. |
