Well, that's two and a half hours of sleep I won't be getting tonight.

Thanks a lot Jim in NC!!!!


chuckle So glad I could help! g

There really is some interesting stuff, in those pages. The real trick is
finding someone in the area that does that kind of construction. If I was
younger, and still in commercial construction, I think I would look into
building these domes.

I was not able to find the exact page that I was looking for. I remember
seeing a hangar that was a concrete dome, and had two doors, that were the
same shape as the dome. They would stay in a down position, but rotate
along the inside wall, thus taking up very little space.

These buildings are the most wind resistant of any building shape ever
tested. They can easily withstand a level 3 hurricane, and possibly more.
