Re: [MBZ] Who needs a cheap imitation sawzall? Dome Pics

That's about right with 30-50 ft trees all the way around. It's all I need though. By the time I get from the north end of the runway to the dome I am in the air and by the time I get to the other end I'm at over 400 Ft and that's not even with max climb. Landing I touch down at the beginning

All done by myself. Put up a 2x4 framework with steel hubs and then put up the triangles row by row, joining and concreting them together as I went. Pics below. Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2015 21:55:37 -0500 From: Rich Thomas Those are a sorta form of SIP I

Had to do this in two emails. The lift a-frame on the track loader is made of 3in heavy wall electrical conduit welded together with brace sleeves welded around the joints and a light duty utility winch from HF with a remote control from another company. I used this setup for all the

IN Hawthorne, fl Wilton. Yes it is an 83 300D. One of 6 that I take care of in the family. Well 2 83 300D's 3 83 300TD's and one 81 300SD. Of the interior I have only some older ones. I hesitate to send any newer ones as it is a mess of supplies and unfinished interior walls with only the

Thanks Wilton. We were both a little younger back then. I built our first house like yours a stick built back in 75 and as I recall it was a bit faster! I wonder if we were just more dedicated back then? ;-) Manfred Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2015 19:41:04 -0500 From: "WILTON"

No SIPs. See www.aidomes.com for the info on how it all works. Manfred Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2015 14:57:30 -0500 From: Rich Thomas Strong work. Did you use SIPs for your skins? Those would be easy enough to cut into the proper faces to build any polyhedral

Three pics of the dome. As you can see it is a work in progress Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 19:43:32 -0500 From: Rich Thomas Interesting on the wet saw. I looked briefly at the Dewalts but not in detail once I saw the price. Figured I could put up with $200

Re: [MBZ] Who needs a cheap imitation sawzall?

You obviously don't use it enough! :-) I've gone through 4 of these in the same 10 years. Then again I do a lot of welding which requires a lot of grinding, as well as grinding of a lot of concrete with a rather heavy diamond cup. Given all the use... make that abuse that they got I do not

Re: [MBZ] Who needs a cheap imitation sawzall? Dome Pics

Thanks for the complements and interest guys. It's been a long job, much longer then I thought it would, but the end is in sight. I'm building almost all of it by myself. Up to now the only things subbed out were the slab, some of the outside finish stucco on the window and door dormers, (so

Re: [MBZ] Who needs a cheap imitation sawzall?

I also bought one of those sawsalls about 3 years ago when they first got them. It has held up very well in my dome construction project. As for the wet saws, the 10in ones which were on sale with coupon at HF for around 220-230 are oddly enough the exact same thing sold at HD branded DeWalt

Your lucky. I pay $0.12/kwh which is why I'm in the process of putting in a 7.5kw solar array. That should under the conditions around here and given the information gathered from their previous installations for over 12 years by the company installing it, give us just a bit more power then we
