[Domesteading 00279] Re: Fw: books

[rowley]

I don't know about books... there are many good ones, but they often seem to focus on technological solutions and 
inventions.

If you want a METHOD of domebuilding that you can take to Africa (or anywhere), and apply to almost any building 
material (and to some materials that you might not normally think of as "building materials"), then I would advise you 
to get into a conversation with Dick Fischbeck of Maine, about his randome concepts. I think he monitors this 
Domesteading list... but, if not, there are people here who can connect you with him.

There are some photos of us putting a model together at a workshop in Oswego in 2003:

Peace Corps and I would like to be able to build or educate about dome houses wile I'm there.  I am looking for the 
newest, most thorough book about dome houses and construction.  I am looking for plans, different types of houses, 
how-to-build them and or any environmentally friendly additions to add to them.  When my wife and I return I plan 
on building a dome house and would like to find out more about the services your company offers.
