This was the house that my father-in-law and husband built. After I watched this video my heart hurt to see what this place looks like. My father-in-law passed away in 2008. We scattered some of his ashes up there. We sold it and whoever bought it, built that greenhouse and grew marajuana in it. I saw when it went up for foreclosure. We thought for a hot second about buying it but we just weren't in a place in our lives that we could have. My husband and I and our two kids lived there for 3 months when we were waiting on buying a house. We have so many wonderful memories. That view was to die for! I remember washing dishes at the kitchen sink and you could hear what someone was saying sitting in the living room because of the dome. You wanted to be sure not to talk about anyone in that house. LOL I loved the floors, they were heated and felt so good. I sponge painted the rusty color in the living room and the blue in the bedroom. The master bathroom tub was the best most comfortable tub in the world. My father-in-law did put up the red carpet in the basement. I wish I could post pictures on here of when it was being built. I also have two arial photos taken from a helicopter. Brian could you please keep us updated on here of the progress of the house. We would love to see it!!! Thank you.

[@carrerasrivera]

I would love to see the floor plan in paper for that house. And to make it. Probably will put more windows, but it have a very good size

[@zneusenrunus7395]

I love it too! 💚.. especially since I a few days ago started dreaming about a Fibonacci aligned housing and angles.. so the vibrations in the house stay bio harmonic/ resonant + super resilient to shakes etc.. and this round one is like the child dream of a mushroom shaped one lol ;) I’m Scandinavian… so.. but I love the mountains there! 🙌

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@carrerasrivera i think they didn't out lots of windows in there to have better Isolation and climate control. Looks like an amazing place

[@MsHeather383]

That is awesome, such good memories.

[@tammyr2966]

How amazing that you were watching this video! Hope you connect with the new owner Brian and can see the new progress and share some of the old. It’s such a beautiful view and beautiful home!

[@johnrpizzaguy]

What a cool place. My wife’s friend lived in a dome house here on the central coast of California it was amazing. Good luck with your project Brian, I wish I was young enough to help out growing up in the 60s in Topanga canyon that’s what we did and my hippie wife of 41 years would be right there with us. Good luck from San Luis Obispo,California and thank you for the great videos

[@seanorrick8921]

I grew up in Woodstock NY in the 70s and 80s. That dome house is way cool.

[@f_r_e_d]

10 acres of land and a beautiful view, that’s a jackpot. Would love to visit this and the miners community. It’s cool to see people come together

[@cynthiahowe8697]

I live near the Monolithic Dome Homes in Italy (pronounce it lee) TX. They are awesome, they don't take much to heat or cool them. They can be so cool.

[@mattlemmon453]

The view from that upstairs bedroom ! OMG....

The Peace of Wild Things...my favorite poem of all time! All good wishes for your next adventure!!!

[@TxAggieJen]

I would make that step down area in the living room a relaxing freshly carpeted area with a ton of beautiful pillows. Imagine some creative dimmable lighting, pillows, the wood burning stove going, music.. so relaxing.

[@3DThrills]

You've got 10 acres. Build your tiny house somewhere else and fix that greenhouse. Food shortages are on the horizon.

[@luvmuz40]

Many props to Brian and his friends for cleaning up the place. Lots and lots of trash and junk to get rid of. But what an amazing house and I hope to see some of the progress.

[@GDixon-ch3yl]

What a cool place. Kudos to you Bryan! Put a Sauna where the Hot tub was.

[@db.mc2]

Thank you Alyssa and Rio 🐾stay safe and take care my friends 🙏 ✌️

[@suzylewis7309]

For the fireplace/stove on first floor....make that space into a rounded adobe style fireplace with a big hearth and seating. Make the firebox big enough to cook in if needed. Whitewash the exterior, embed local rocks or tiles as a decorative asethetic. The round of the stove would compliment the dome shape.

[@Wanderboom]

Nice! Robbyn and I will be back that way later this summer. Let him know I would love to share my carpentry skills on such a unique property. Great to see you thriving. Don’t you love this lifestyle? 😉✌️

[@johnkubus3628]

You might want to add on top of the walls to get closure up at the top of the up there is with a brass punched grid and make a frame for it and insert the the brass punch metal into it and then slip it into the opening there and do it on both sides and it would be little decorative close it off but still get the transference through the punched out metal. I have done this myself on another project where I had enclosed heated pipes for boiler heat and we wanted to dress it up so I can taste it in a wood plywood frame and made openings and put the brass played in there and it was really really nice after was all stained and clear-coated it looked really cool so you might want to try that

[@jimmieleelunsford]

Somewhat mighty?! MIGHTY mighty! You were working it! Kudos to Brian, I wish him so much joy as his adventure unfolds!

[@patrickwatson5276]

A balcony on the 2nd floor might be something to think about. Beautiful home, congratulations. Another great video, thank you so much.

[@heartslessons6243]

Well you got one hell of a deal. Wish I could find one in my area. Summer you stay cool winter you stay warm.

[@earlhollar1906]

the red carpet wall reminds me more of 60s decor. when they used to have pattern wallpaper where the pattern had velour on it. the blacklight righting and the cartoon wallpaper in the bathroom reminds me of the early 70s the flower children movement coming out of the sixties. looks like you have a very good base structure. with good pads and driveways going into your other levels. with the trees holding your property securely on the side of the mountain. cleaning up after hoarders sucks you and your friends have done a great job congratulations on your find and buy.!.!"

[@rickyenglish1391]

Good luck Brian,this is a very great project,bring it into the 21st century,,have fun !.

[@richardcompton2555]

I don't know, the thumbnail title was a bit of click bait. My initial take was, "wait, she is going to buy a dome home?". Wrong.

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

Wonderful places here Rockies are amazing. Look forward to the next adventure

[@paulhulse1975]

Hi watching your videos from the beginning I up to we’re you are having rust hole done . Up to now I enjoying them so much . I had the same problem with my 1992 campervan the front jacking point needed welding cost 300 pounds to repair. Good luck Paul x👍🍺🚐🍷🔥

[@johnsauer9067]

Brian might want to enlist, without spending too much, a design consultant to provide some ideas. I'd definitely "live" with the house a while before making any major design changes. Looks like a great project. Looks like a few tractor trailer or big, big dumpster loads to get rid of that trash. And Brian should definitely have lots and lots of photos taken now. It's easy to forget what it used to look like exactly once it's renovated. Looking at the "before" photos will be fun someday - yes, make prints and fill an old-fashioned photo album to keep on a coffee table for friends to see.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I'd hop on Pinterest and look for ideas.

[@johnthomas5806]

and one of the first things you see when looking out the windows...powerlines strung across the land following a major road....lol

[@d__extraordinary175]

I can't tell you how much I admire your life & choices. Idk if that sounds weird, lol. If I could do it all over again, you know.? I'm 47. Love your videos & love to Rio!🐶😘💋💗

[@lynnjackson-martin1994]

Great job . nice find but you might want to check before moving or removal of any walls...

[@rickpascual4340]

Do not take out the fireplace. The reason why they put it in the dome house is because they mold, because it is well sealed. The dry heat of the fireplace kills the mold. He will regret it if he removes it.

[@GaryJones2012]

Talk about a total time warp! Was there really a time when red carpet on the walls was cool? Total gut job because there's nothing to keep. Replace the windows to those with screens and add windows wherever possible. I think I heard him say something about making it a rental but he's going to need to spend a fortune renovating to make it livable. My guess would be two hundred grand in materials alone plus a whole lot of labor. It will be an interesting project to follow though. Thanks for the tour.

[@rachelchanel7941]

Dear Lord, God bless you Brian! I would love to see what he does with this!

[@lifeisagift.cherisheverymoment]

"When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound" That line speaks profoundly to me. I would Follow anything Lyss and Rio create, but a Channel of Alyssa in Nature and reading a poem or quote, that would capture my heart and soul. Beautiful opening to this video. Brian found a beautiful home. Wendell Berry quote: "To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival."

Way to go with the clean out! Red carpeted wall - pretty cool place ❇️

[@luca-sandroandreoli8657]

The place is awesome and has so much potential. I can only imagine how great it´s gonna look at some point.

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

Congratulations to Brian! Yet at the same time I feel sorrow for the people who lost this place. Extreme hoarding must be associated with some element of mental illness. I hope the former owner(s) are well. No one can fault a person for getting a good deal, so no detraction from Brian or his efforts.

[@TxAggieJen]

I felt the same thing when I saw the hoarding.

[@tristatetuners]

Oh you are very in tune here. It wasn’t a good situation and I hope those who were living here decide to make the changes they need to improve their lives. I want to grow and create a great space for myself but not by stepping on the backs of others. For this reason I bent over backwards to try and communicate with and work with the people who lived there before, and gave them much more time and opportunity than was required of me. I had some success but not nearly as much as I would have liked, but I know without a doubt that I did everything I reasonably could, and then some. It hasn’t been easy but it’s time to turn to the next chapter of getting the house repairs started.

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

@@tristatetuners Good on you, Bryan!

[@mattbrown837]

If this is visible off I-70 at Floyd hill, my brother and I built the domes shell.

[@amirboroujani9099]

Isn't that marvellous God gives you such a pleasent unexoected gift ! ... This house has the potential to be turned into a Grand design house... only requires patience، time and a Splash of cash. I would like to see when the ultimate changes happens to this house.

[@gingermcintosh6545]

The whole place has to be gutted. Very little is worth salvaging. It needs mire windows; the views are so beautiful and to closed off I would skip the ‘retro’ vibe altogether. No orange or turquoise please. I would go with rustic. Wood floors. Wood countertops. Lots of wood in grey, weathered tones. White walls. Maybe one accent color; something bright like red or yellow. Lots of plants. Furniture in black or white or both. Punch the bathrooms. Accent wallpaper walls of large flowers? Or hand painted mural walls.

[@scottkrieger4701]

He would extremely smart to put up a year round green house.

[@Kitpu917]

That dome home and land it’s on is sooo freakin beautiful that Brian scored I can’t wait to see what he does with it all. His friend Jess’s place just as awesome beautiful mountainous views , trees, trails, water looove Colorado. I’d live there if it wasn’t so cold in the winter being from upstate NY been in Cali 30 yrs now I’ve acclimated to this desert climate here but with an ocean. I miss the rain and fall most of all. Anyway excited about your next video. Enjoy!! ✌️Rio is adorable!!

[@r8edrv4fun65]

Thanks for the tour :) Brian should buy you an external mic for interviews since he was speaking so low 😉

[@tristatetuners]

Hey Lyss, so glad you were able to stop by the new place. Great to be able to give you a tour and also get some work done, but the best part was I actually getting to sit down and relax for a little bit and catch up with you. There's so much going on with the house its difficult to really put into words but this video did a great job of showing where we are now about 1 month in, and it would be so great to show you how far we've come with the project again down the road. Safe travels and you're welcome any time! p.s. the overalls are a great look -- business, but make it fashionable :)

[@natashasmith-jones1602]

Omg...totally amazing...if you need interior designer...look me up...but I really love your new place...

[@TurboTitan840hp]

bryantroll Congrats on the house! I agree with you on the sauna. Put the sauna in a different spot, where there is a view. Maybe convert the green room?? What ever you decide, it will be 10 times better than the original. Glad you and your friend saw the potential.

[@casslarkin4567]

Lots of work ahead for you, Brian, and it looks like you've already done TONS of clean-up. Kudos to you, Brian.

[@Guernicaman]

This looks like a fun little project I'd be into! As much as Iove the 80's for a dome home, I'd go for a retro-futuristic/modernist aesthetic. Lot os white, red, black & silver. Retro-Space-Age. Also, the view is spectacular! ❤ Also, also - I cringe when I see people wearing shoes over vintage 80's carpet! 😬 Either change to indoor shoes or go barefoot, people!

[@TxAggieJen]

I'm betting the carpet is absolutely filthy and needs to be ripped out. 🤢

[@Guernicaman]

@@TxAggieJen - Doesn't look that filthy on video. Nothing some deep-cleaning can't fix. Might seem expensive, but better less so than ripping out & putting in new carpet. Maybe he's planning on changing the carpet to a different color. If the walls remain white, I'd go w/a bright red carpet for contrast & give it that modernist-retro-futurist aesthetic. The bathroom carpet DEFINITELY needs to go. Change it to tile.

[@tristatetuners]

Oh we have shoveled, raked, vacuumed, and used a commercial carpet cleaner a few times each - just to try and improve the smell and cleanliness as much as we can, but we will need to replace all fabrics and surgically clean all hard surfaces in the home to get it clean / sanitary. Then every hard surface will be sealed and painted and all new floors. It needs a total refresh!

[@Guernicaman]

@@tristatetuners - Yikes! That bad, huh? What color are you doing the new caroet? That is, I asume you'll be adding a carpet to certain parts of the house, right?

[@tristatetuners]

@@Guernicaman I’m not sure yet to be honest. Maybe in bedrooms, or maybe just generous use of area rugs. I’ve never done interior design but I want it to be really clean and modern inside, but also comfortable and not too echo-ey.

[@karsynelyse]

I know I’m 7 months late but he should absolutely use that sunken part of the “open space” as a retro conversation pit!! They were popular in the 70s I believe!! Definitely don’t cover that up, it’s character that you can’t beat

[@cherylcollier4662]

Amazing potential...please please please do a follow up video when he completes the renovation.

[@imscanon]

Oh wow, I remember reading about that house being built ions ago. He has no idea what a gem he has there. Monolithic Domes will last forever, use very little energy, and are safe from anything. If he updated it well, it could go for millions. Highly sought after esp in wildfire areas like that. This place has so much potential. What a find. I'd be over the moon at a find like that esp for that price. Yowza. I'd totally fix the greenhouse because extending the growing season and keeping the animals out of your garden makes them highly prized in CO. You could use it for an entertainment area for now but still maintain that valuable feature for future owners. Man, I'd love to see what he does with this place and hope he doesn't screw it up. lol

[@i.r.wayright1457]

You need better supporting structure in a greenhouse that size due to snow loads. You can see what happened. Make the roof steep enough so the snow slides off.

Was planning to go this year but September last year hurricane IDA hit here in Louisiana and put my sailboat 20 ft under so I haven't decided to buy another sailboat or buy a home on wheels. Looking at the most of fuel rising I know it's gotta be hard on y'all and when I lived on my boat 40 gallons of fuel lasted me about a month and mothers nature winds are free.
