M’s Dome, Belated Update

The front wall took M a while to finish, but he did a beautiful job – especially considering he’d never stuck two blocks together before building it. S came over and helped lay the foundation row, but M was on his own for the rest. I helped only a little to speed things up while he filled the bond beam layers and doorframe with concrete. Lately he’s been spending his time laying out the electrical and other things that need to penetrate the dome. The shotcrete people are due today to look over the job, and with any luck (IE, if they don’t flake out and if the weather holds) the dome will be covered with concrete before the end of next week.
