Again another non-roulette post, but many of you asked about my foundation's research (universalsymbiosis.org). The current project is the housing, and things have moved along faster than expected. I'm in the middle of selecting a block of land for the building. We also now have a qualified builder on board.
Once the land is purchased, and will only be about $70,000 for roughly 10 acres which is cheap country land, two particular test buildings will be completed. One will be a conventional building that complies with building standards, andf the other will be a foam dome home which is what I most look forward to. Basically the company that does them inflates an enormous ball, sprays it with building foam, covers it in mesh for better support, sprays concrete on it, and basically done minus a fgew points. Very quick and much cheaper. Because domes are self-supporting, they need far less material.
The is to create the cheapest home possible without making it "cheap and nasty". ie from the inside, it will have every appeal oif a normal home. The outside can be made to be whatever we want.
It is difficult to know the timeline for progress, but soon I'll decide on the land which is the first step.
When I have more time I'll give more details, but am posting this because a few players were interested.
