I am totally convince that I will purchase/invest in one of these homes. Love the premise, the plans, the efficiency of the entire idea. Gotta book my next vacation to the factory and get a real hands on behind the scenes education.

I had to get this book to convince my husband i wasnt crazy. It worked he now also loves the idea of a Dome house. Anyone thinking of building a house should read this book. It really was one sided but is still truthful and realistic. Nope wont save you $ when building, wont cost you more either.
