As mentioned earlier, come by the AEZ and sign up for our solar tour (starts @ 11 under the AEZ sign). It's an hour long tour through the village. You will learn a lot and meet amazing people with all the knowledge you will ever want.

Got mine 2/5 can register @ 12:00 today.

When I was gluing mine with HH66 I noticed the acetone in the glue was removing the paint. I think you are on to something.

My dome is also covered with white billboard vinyl. I use a cheap tent light (ring of 12 leds) I have it hanging from an eye bolt connecting the apex of the top Pentagon. The light reflects great off the curved white surface. Lights my whole dome (16 dia 5/8 3 V) ceiling is 9 or 10 feet tall. The li...

Build a 3/8 3V and a 5/8 3V 16' radius domes. This gives you approx 3' struts out of 1" EMT. Bolt them together for an 8/8 geodesic ball.

I had a swamp cooled dome in the AEZ last year. I use white billboard vinyl cut into triangles and then glued with hh66 vinyl glue . I had a 25 gallon swamp cooler and it works good but am going with 2 - 25 gallon swampies this year.

Damn it, I clicked on this thread because I searched for hookers+blow and all I read was about PNP camps......... back to my search!

Also for a great selection of canned beer try Wholefoods in Reno.

Donate your stuff to Karma Collectors. They will have a truck at exodus and will then donate your unwanted gear to the homeless in Reno. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Karma-Co ... 5725779899

@ kstlfido The pad is 2 inches over each vent not sure much if any air is creeping past but not a bad idea to be extra safe. Also yes I will be installing door weatherseal foam around the CB fan and the lid.

The trash can is 50 gallons but I have the fan and vents lower so it will line up with the dome. I'm getting 25 useable gallons which seems fine. I ran the same basic design last year and it cooled my 18 dia 5/8 3v dome very well. I also originally worried the black plastic may cause slight issues b...

The group name in the waze is BRC

Alternator..... solved!

They also had black billboard vinyl but i wouldn't buy it.

Called local clearchannel office and set up an appointment. They had a lot of sizes and colours to choose from. I went with white!

Ive been thinking the same thing. My thought was 5 eyebolts following the vertices of the top pentagon would equally distribute the anchor points.

My dome is covered with a used billboard. Turn the graphics inward and you get a nice strong white cover for cheap. I paid 25 dollars for a 14X48' billboard here in Reno.

I am running lines off of my Coolers drains to feed my unicooler *two birds one stone*

The center punch is a good idea, I didn't have one and is the reason why mine were not completely accurate.

KUDOS!

There you go that be the stuff!

Your numbers are spot on, but I'd suggest you round them to 1/8s. There is no reason to be that accurate with a dome radius of 142.70. Mine was somewhere in the 108 range and my holes got off by up to 3/16 and never became critical. Your bends @ 10 and 12 degrees are not critical either, just get cl...

So the BORG has only suspended the 2 guest passes due to numerous abuses, not the 60 dollar tickets to tribal members? How is this bad for the tribe? How is this a shame or outrageous?

I'd assume bLOWES.COM would have these available to preorder, also I live in Fernley which is the gate way to the playa from the Reno area. Your group is welcome to construct in my driveway which is approx. 3 miles from bLowes where you would pick up your provisions.

Ok its 2012 my 9th burn and have finally decided to build a dome. Great info here between all the users and links and I thank you all who have contributed over the years. I've decided on a 2v 16'8" diameter geodesic. According to the dome calc. It gives me 63.5" and 56.5" struts which leaves absolut...
