Continued the painting inside the sleep dome. It looks really good, nice and bright.
I learned to build Superadobe at Cal-Earth and now I am doing it.

No Excuses
I forgot to buy a hose so I almost cancelled the build day, but Raquel convinced me to paint the inner small dome.

Let the Patio Begin!
If I ever want to build a shed like structure to store the generator and some tools, I need a patio first. The shed will be something like a glorified dog house, big enough for the generator and tools, I am not sure the mixer needs more than just a place to keep it with a sturdy tarp over it. Again a nice patio area. I'll focus on surrounding the main dome and connecting the baƱo. Then I hope to eventually make a path to the car area, a bit of a car pad, and a path to the other end of the property, so you can skate on full moons. Yup that dream is still alive.

All MIxed Up!
2 mixes, stucco around the new door frame, and 20% cement mix for the entranceway. This pour seals the door frame and the foundation rows under the door frame.

Bright hot sun today, but too windy for a cowboy hat |

A clumpy mix is a sticky mix! |

when its all painted with the lime paint it will blend seamlessly, and its still wet here. |
