[@mikerandall4888]

I started watching this with the idea that I'd love to build one myself. About 1/3 of the way through I realized how much actual work, knowledge, cost of materials, etc. it would take. Spent the last 2/3 of the video just watching and admiring your dedication. Awesome work!

[@AircreteHarry]

Thank You!! It was a fun experiment building this dome, and getting a feel for working with the EPIC cement mix. It took about 32 hours to build. But I have a new method of building a dome that will be super fast and easy to build. I'm planning on building a small 9 foot dome using the new method in the next two or three weeks.

[@DanielWilliams-oi4ss]

@@AircreteHarry 32 hours is not bad at all.

[@pauls466]

Same here !

[@SteveGoldbergMarketing]

@@AircreteHarry What was the total cost of materials? also, factoring in your cost of tools and equipment what would you estimate the total cost of this dome was?

[@AircreteHarry]

@@SteveGoldbergMarketing the dome was under $3000 to build. The mixer was $170 the cement pump you can rent.

[@patrickperry6945]

This Aircrete Harry is one hardworking dude. Impressive!

[@AircreteHarry]

Thanks!

[@paullarnce2167]

I have not seen anything like this since the 60/70's. Congratulations! Well done.

[@soto44123]

The guy in the video doing the work is incredible!...I've done some of that back-breaking work but I always did it for someone else and not for free. This guy has some real pelotas...

[@AircreteHarry]

Thanks!!

[@themountainraven]

Im digging the simplicity...you are a hard working person, and have a lot of dedication. These dome structures have great benefits....lots of labor. Great job man. I look forward to seeing more ideas and applications.

[@AircreteHarry]

Thank You very much, Appreciate You!! 👍 👍

[@charleneschmidt541]

Thank you! I have wanted one of these homes forever. I am not afraid of work. It is getting harder because, I am now going on 64. That's okay. I have never been afraid to learn a new skill. I truly appreciate you sharing.

[@DocJaeBass]

Thanks for putting the whole build into a single video. Here in Montana it's snowing today, and the ground is frozen. I'm cozy in my HIGH maintenance log cabin and am looking forward to a winter in a low maintenance epic/aircrete dome house. I've picked out the perfect spot on my land and go meditate there most afternoons and visualize it completed just to be sure it's exactly perfect when I start the build.

[@AircreteHarry]

Awesome!!

[@davidcrabb7293]

Whats wrong with log cabins?

[@swatisquantum]

Yess

[@DC-uo5hy]

Thanks, I once built Ferro cement boats... Lots heavier though. The cement with air works great... Better at a lower pressure though. Your pressure was very high and hit and bounced or splattered. A good experienced gunnite guy could help a lot. Scaffeling would have been a blessing. Many thanks I loved it

[@keithusace4352]

I appreciate your reply. I can relate to your efforts in a different way as for the last twenty plus years the wife and I have built a half a dozen log homes and it takes pure dedication and I'm now 67 so young man it's time for you to enjoy the fruit of your labor

[@-joe90]

I am a big fan of your constructive system, it is very ingenious and accessible and meets many expectations. I congratulate you

[@benjidelvalle6137]

This is awesome!! I love your videos, please keep the coming! It's very inspiring to see what you can do with some hard work, dedication and planning. Can't wait to see the end product of your home design!

[@walterhynson2898]

This is fantastic ,Just like Bucky Fuller directed ,you have him guiding you all the way. BEAUTIFUL

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Just happened on this video while watching Man About Tools and I have to say that you are the man to have built this dome like this. Absolutely amazing! Now I have ideas that my wife will not like the sounds of. Take care and enjoy that beautiful structure.

[@shredct3118]

This is awesome, great work my man!! Thank you for taking me on this journey!!

[@canuckyank82]

Very impressed with the build. More impressed with your knowledge of the aircrete properties and the ceramic paint properties. Such fascinating technology. Videos about liv9ng 8n the dome are important. Of interest are the physical, emotional and psychological comfort levels of life in such structures. Thanks for a great build and a great video!

[@AircreteHarry]

Thanks!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5i3gX6CYtF4obc

[@delbass6723]

Aircrete Harry my aircrete hero!!!

[@bobv8219]

Should stay cool during summer and will hold up to all elements of weather for a long time. Shit ton of labor . Amazing job fellas.

[@AircreteHarry]

Thanks!

[@MysteryMycology]

I'm really proud of you for making your dreams a reality. Your came up with something different and saw it through. Very nice work and great video.

[@SuperDemian13]

Do you even know what building means?

[@tamiweber7118]

This is the most impressive budget friendly DIY tiny house build. Your like the eveready batttery you just keep going 💯💖💯💖💯💖💯💖

[@ClashWithBao]

Thanks for sharing your build, much love and respect

[@aaronrodriguez110]

Love your work and method. Would love to see your thoughts / work arounds on framing a window, something for electric, and what you'd do about plumbing and venting.

[@ohmsanti7914]

man this is really cool info you are sharing and making conveniently easy to access! thanks

[@markwilson8118]

Good to see the time laps of the whole project brother .. I'll be getting ahold of you again shortly

[@AircreteHarry]

Sounds good!

[@markwilson8118]

I shared this so you'll probably get a few views

[@kyststudio-epicartadventure]

I love the handprints before you smoothed them out.

[@kennethcruise7635]

The amount of labor you put in this is amazing . I built a small 950+ sq ft and understand the amount of work in that . Cannot imagine this project .

[@Karma8Kami]

I'm curious, seeing as that seems to be a hot and arid area with a lot of sun and wind and you did the foundation and dome covering in stages as you were able to produce finished mixes and the drying process wasn't uniform (I seem to remember layering the crete in wet burlap or plastic helps for that somewhat) I'd be worried about the different layers producing cracks that'd be subject to weather intrusion as it dries and shrinks? Might be to early to tell if this was done in January though and for all I know I might be wrong on another count. Bloody cool dome though, insulation seems excellent, are you having any moisture build up on the inside of the roof in the mornings when the temperature switches over?

[@rubberneck2855]

I agree, uncomfortable about having layers of concrete rather than continuous pour

[@IggyDalrymple]

Very innovative to make your own gores from Tyvek.

[@AircreteHarry]

Thanks!

[@TheOleHermit]

Yes, I've spent several years designing and dreaming of my own dome home. Thought about making my own airform, instead of paying ~$3000 from Monolithic Domes. Thought it needed heavier material + welded seams, but this looks cheap and easy.

[@farmerbrown6157]

Hmn i use to shoot gunnite. This looks like same thing but we mixed at the machine shot dry addedwater at nozzle. . Must pump it wet with a little added water. Higher psi. From the impact. Wonder what it does to the airbubbles in the crete

[@peterboyd7304]

i appreciate a hard working man.good on ya.

[@bpetnoi1472]

So I can see this is much like spray painting with color. There is a fine line between getting on an even coat. A touch too much causes runs and streaks. I am guessing that the aircrete can be troweled to even things out, unlike paint.

[@leventyukselen9063]

I LOVE YOU HARRY ,BRAVO VERY GOOD WORKING, THANK YOU, I LIKE YOU TURKEY Levent

[@AircreteHarry]

Welcome to the channel Levent 👍 My Best to you in Turkey! Happy you are enjoying & appreciating my work. Thank you very much for your Great Feedback!!

[@AircreteHarry]

Are you in Turkey at the moment? We hope you are Safe!!

[@quantumsmith2860]

Thanks Harry! Very interesting video........love the music!

[@AircreteHarry]

Thanks!!

[@tommypotatoes1]

You're living my dream... And the dome is nice, too...

[@rossabernethy6777]

Somewhat rough, but can appreciate it being done on a budget. I remember doing plans for a guy for these some thirty five years ago or so. Very similar technique. Quite a few were built with one home comprising 3 domes, on Memorial Avenue from Christchurch city out to the airport(NZ). Still there these days.

[@BigTeddySmooth]

I am extremely impressed! Great Job!

[@AircreteHarry]

Thanks!

[@TravelDuckDude]

Been following for awhile. Glad to see you finally build it. I’m still torn on which method I will use: concrete sprayer or using aircrete blocks. Curious if you ever thought about putting in radiant heating pex pipe in the foundation?

[@brettwaldrop7734]

That would be a good idea, then you could build a solar water heater to circulate hot water through the pipes

[@user-iw2lv6px3i]

Привет из России,ты молодец!!!

[@carinal3768]

love your choices for music

[@AircreteHarry]

Thank You Carina!

[@royramey5659]

I had this idea 30 years ago to have a blowup structure and gunite it with light weight cement.Then run conduit for electrical and gunite over that. I never did it, so it's great to see it being done.My thought was to take the blowup structure out and use it over and over again. Enjoyed

[@AircreteHarry]

I like the idea of running conduit and spaying over it. If you go to my playlist you can see when I take the air form out. I do have an air form that is reusable but it is very heavy so I don't like to use it. This air-form was cheap enough to make it one time use. A thin layer of the air-form was stuck to the cement when I took it off so I will not use it a second time it mite be weaker that's why its one time use.

[@CYBRCDZEN]

Great freaking job. No matter what anybody says you guys are awesome. Now build mine lol

[@HousesBuiltTiny]

My second of your videos. Building mine I add donated latex paint to the brown coat and final coat. Increases strength, flexibility and makes the finish coat more weather resistant.

[@deepwaters3335]

God bless all hard working men.

[@thornbird6768]

An igloo that’s never gonna melt 👍🏻 I love it ❤️

[@victoryfirst2878]

Nice job fella. Looks like another superdome well done.

[@ianblackman2144]

Absolutely brilliant well done mate doing a really good hard job

[@GCSol]

I saw a house built like this back in the mid 1970s. It was a series of domes all connected together.

[@samuelsmith5098]

Love it. New sub. Dialed in. Dialed up. Trippin.

[@mitchanthony6447]

Very impressed standing by for next one machines will make it sooo much easier for you

[@AircreteHarry]

Thank you!

[@frankshort1448]

Very ingenious I applaud you a job well done hope you and your lady enjoy gave me an idea for my land when I get ready to retire here in the panhandle of Florida

[@AircreteHarry]

Thanks!! Next dome build coming soon. :-)

[@RedandAprilOff-Grid]

Wow, that's quite the process! 😊🏠

[@AircreteHarry]

Yes it was fun to build, and much warmer than the RV.

[@stewartmarshall4941]

At 1st I thought you were doing a tyvek tent. Man that was alot of work. Awesome job.

[@AircreteHarry]

Thanks!

[@ginw1728]

Looks like the area we bought in.....great job.

[@AircreteHarry]

Thank you 👍 Also CO area?

[@jmcintyre1420]

Thank you. This is Genius how you put this together.

[@AircreteHarry]

It all started in my mind.

[@phil-zz5hk]

such a simple idea , but bloody effective .

[@golfmike304]

Nice job. Very cool project.

[@mainerockflour3462]

When you did the thumbs-up and gave your "pirate's smile", I had to laugh. You reminded of the character Zaphod Beeblebrox, from the movie: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.🤣

[@BrannonTharpeMusic]

Cool video. I usually fast forward through these but your soundtrack is great!

[@joesmith9265]

Awesome job !!

[@danwagner2296]

Harry, I watched some of your build in person. All I can say is " it looks much easier in the video than it really was!!!" Oh, also, my hat is off to both of you for all your hard work. We know who ground up all that styrofoam, we know who mixed all the epic and who placed it all. Wow!!!

[@quercuslobata3776]

Love your energy and innovation. Good job. A couple of suggestions. Spray your final coat and do either a knock down or float finish. Will save some labor. Float finish can be achieved with a foam float. A knock down can be achieved by spraying a splatter then knocking it down with a squeegee. Also if you purchase a stucco fog coat you can spray your color inside and out with a heavy duty bug sprayer. Fog coating is cheaper then paint. Is aircrete water proof? How has the dome weathered? Concrete substrates tend to crack even when reinforced. If down the road you have issues with cracking, try elastomeric paint. It will bridge cracks up to an 1/8 inch.

[@krissfemmpaws1029]

This is very interesting I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel.

[@MATT-xv4bh]

Thoughtful and clever use of science and reason PLUS bloody hard effort. Good vid !!

[@AircreteHarry]

Thanks!

[@ianroberts5124]

Top work brilliant mate well done

[@davidwalker881]

your the man out there doin it!! nice job ! aire creete

[@jeffsteinmetz7188]

Interesting build! What is the R value of your different layered walls? Separate and combined? How thick? Does it act as an insulator or more of a heat sink that gathers energy/heat during the day and releases it slowly through the evening? Windows? Sky lights? Add on bathroom and kitchen unit options?

[@Scott-gt6od]

Rome wasn't built over night. Impressive Sir.

[@AircreteHarry]

Welcome to the channel Scott 👍 Spread the Word, Brother. I appreciate your Wisdom, Sir!

[@neilreid9005]

That's a tremendous amount of work- congratulations indeed. Wondering why you didn't attach conduit to the inside to pull AC cabling. Very impressive outcome on the dome!

[@MaidenOne]

Fantastic, it was a great show, congratulations.

[@davidparker8189]

Every man needs one of these...

[@seanharris6359]

Good stuff harry i have an isea that might make it easier what if you had a spray foam insulation kit and just filled a piece of paiters platic with air to make your dome a thin layer let it dry and then put a 2 inch thick layer ket it dryand then sorayed your concreate mixture over that then it would be preinsulated and the foam would hold up tothe first concreate layer then your mesh and so on

[@Bob_Adkins]

10 thumbs up! Great film, great skill. I can foresee a huge 3D printer printing up houses, whether domed, conventional, or hybrid, including the rooms.

[@arphx2]

Good job and great music. I have to agree that it sure looks like a lot of messy work compared to standard slab and wood. I'm sure you've compared cost differences or you wouldn't be building it. I look forward to seeing the final product. Best of luck.

[@annwachter5985]

Would it help insulate the structure by spraying on a layer of foam after the concrete and then adding a 3rd layer of colored concrete to finish.

[@mysticdavestarotmachinesho5093]

I wonder if you could measure the thickness of the concrete with a neodymium magnet and a Gaussmeter?

[@Gunge-vq2ik]

greatwork thank you!

[@52memor]

I remember on U Tube seeing aercrete concrete being made using a foam machine easier and less mess and a frothier mix.

[@AircreteHarry]

Aircrete is easier to make but not as strong as what I built with the EPIC mix in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZKYdoaieKaKd8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3fGZ42OjbOIe5Y

Hi Harry, how many layers did you spray? And how thick would you go with it? Love the work!
