A Decision


In the 1980s, I got married.  And my husband knew lots about carpentry but nearly nothing about working with concrete.  He however, saw the significance of an earth shelter and added the concept that it should be dome - round-roofed - shaped.  It took many years in the back of the mind thought processes.  In the 1990s, we purchased property which had an old farm house on it to be restored, as we thought of restoring it.  The previous owner had given up on the worthiness of the effort as one section of the house was an add-on that was apparently done during hard times. In the early 2000s, we came up with a concept  for an earth shelter which was shot down by the company we were considering to use.  We were disheartened.  But in the 2010s, we  renewed our efforts, and stuck with it until we had a floor plan that would work for us.



We are currently in the process of building that dream come true, and this blog is to help us record it as it happens.
