Second Story Walls

The big day came when we could hoist and fasten the last of our Minnedome’s prebuilt dome kit pieces!

Our extremely generous and friendly neighbors up the hill came down to help us.

We started with the triangularish outside walls. Then the very heavy center two walls.

We used many long beefcake structural screws to fasten the walls together and to the dome shell.

The top center of the dome was sagging without any support under it, but never fear: Stacey fetched his floor jack! Then we could slide the wall in place.

We celebrated by eating a “Cracker Jack” watermelon I grew in my garden! We are so grateful to know Stacey and Ceal!!!

Over the next few days, Jon and I measured, cut, and installed plywood on the upper walls.

Hey! That is our bedroom loft! Pretty cool.
