Has a man-made structure ever effected you emotionally or spiritually?

It's something I've been thinking about since I discovered Second Empire plans nail what I would do, given a budget.

Spooky carved redneck is better than pressboard hillbilly.

You ever see "Billy Jack Goes to Washington"? It has some excellent filmage of DC, along with some Ey-Number-One Billy Jack silliness.

It's been years.. it wasnt too memoriable I'm afraid.. a tad too hokey for me.. but hokey can be amusing..

I like structures with big balconies and dark, warm, inviting cellars. Like a big back lot, too.

I like those cedar and rock houses with lots of windows built in the middle of the woods.

If I had tons of money I'd build one of those and stick it in the middle of the 2000 acres I would buy.

I like those too, although it would be more work than I'm willing or able to do to propriete a house like that.

I rented that but couldn't get interested in it. Depp is like a acting teacher showing you Ed Wood. The real Ed Wood was like a drum majorette passed out next to you with a whistle stuck down her throat.

Being from/in California, I kinda like the concept of the geodesic or monolithic dome.

Benefits

The Monolithic Dome is a permanent structure which is energy efficient, cost effective, disaster resistant and attractive.

Monolithic Domes have real strength. They can withstand the force of a tornado, hurricane or earthquake. They cannot burn, rot or be eaten by bugs.

The Monolithic Dome is energy efficient. It will usually save fifty percent on heating and cooling costs compared to a comparable conventional building.

No...

The Monolithic Dome is a super-insulated, steel reinforced concrete structure used for homes, schools, gymnasiums, bulk storage facilities, churches, offices, and many other uses.

It has a tower, I like that, but I'd need more wrought-iron spikes if I was going to spend that much money on a house.

Paul and Barbara Stitt residence in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. This 55-foot diameter, three-story home is Wisconsin's first Monolithic Dome home.

"On a slightly foggy day, the house just about disappears, which is what we wanted." The Stitts achieved that effect by choosing just the right shade of blue paint for the outside of their Airform.

We watched this stunning chapel being built as we traveled to Taos over the years. From what I understand, most of the Labor was donated, and the view of it from the Rio Grande valley is surreal. The Stations of the Cross bronze sculptures on the trail up to the chapel are soul moving (and a good running trail to blow off the long drive). San Luis Colorado (the oldest town in Co)- if you go there you are making a mistake by not seeing the profound chapel built there. Stunning in it's old world simplicity and the views are.............. It is a special place.
