Not as much to look at this week, but a major step forward in the construction of the Geodesic Dome.

This weekend saw the completion of the cutting of all 36 triangular panels for the dome. The wooden slates still need to be created and applied to 24 of the panels, but all the drywall cutting has been completed.

This included a total of eight 4' X 8' 1/4 drywall panels to make the 36 triangle for the dome. I have also purchased enough wood to finish the wooden slates for the all the peices.

The project is now in 'production' mode, where I am streamlining the building process to produce as much as I can in the shortest period of time. That is to say, I am combining similar processes to minimize repeat effort.

The plan is to have the dome test erected by this Friday. Once erected, it can be painted and detail work, such as doors and windows can be started. This is going to be a busy week.
