<blockquote>We went and saw the dome. I loved it! Loved everything about it (except the 1970's fixtures) Unfortunately there is no usable land. There are 4 acres, but they are in the front of the house, and really nothing but a huge ravine and a driveway that has to be impassable 1/2 the time. So the search continues....</blockquote>Perhaps I can cajole Natalie and Tom into becoming authors on this little blog....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719338709643087322.post-21486786344226282362011-01-24T04:22:00.001-08:002011-01-24T04:22:58.914-08:00Natalie checks out a dome today...Slow posting lately. A new semester has started up for yours truly (Kris) and it's gotten in the way of more important things like daydreaming.<br />
<br />
Anyoldway, Natalie and Tom are off to look at a <a href="http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/Henderson_Tx_75654_M89917-95327">dome home</a> near Henderson, Texas today. Perhaps she'll provide an update afterwards....<br />

SplittingOK, I took a look at the original set of links I'd created and they're a blend of several different categories--off grid living, energy sources, construction methods, and so on. I think it'll be better to split these into different sets of links. I've started to do so. Tell me what you think....<br /><br />KrisUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719338709643087322.post-31499261571122663672010-12-28T07:29:00.000-08:002010-12-28T07:30:09.070-08:00East Texas homes available to tour?Hi all,<br /><br />Does anyone know of any homes in East Texas that are available for tours, or under construction?
