I hate to say it, but getting a BD5 ready to fly seems to have changed
his mind, as well as leaving our country.

Another product of superior mainland education who doesn't know that PR has
been part of the US for more than 100 years...And then people wonder why
immigrants from asian countries do so much better in college....

Unless everybody got new flags and I somehow missed it, PR is *owned*
by the US, and has been for more than 100 years.

I did. I live in a log house. It cost more than $85/sq ft, but then
around here every method costs more than that.

It's fireproof and can withstand 2000 psf? The answer is NO. In the first
case it would be a pile of ashes in the second it would be a pile of
toothpicks. In both cases the MD would be unscathed. Next.

You keep posting links to that manufacturer's brochures. You have yet to
provide proof any have been built. Are you shilling for them? If so you
should
be able to provide proof of it's toughness under storm conditions. Driving
a
vehicle into one just isn't the same thing.

Why don't you buy a plane ticket like I did and go see for yourself? But if
you're not interested why not just ignore it instead of demanding to be
spoonfed? The info is all there, all you have to do is open your mind and
read. http://monolithicdome.com/dometour/index.html

I read that, sonny, but it's still a brochure for the company. Have any
actually been built? Has an independent activity tested it for huricane
ruggedness using a more reliable method than running landscape machinery into
it?

If you have ever seen tornadic scouring you'd know what I'm talking about.

Oh, gee, that must be why the Navy tucked tail and left Rosey Roads and
Vieques. Yes, you must have missed that.

It is to juan. If you really want to confuse him explain how a
sailboat can ride over a 400 kt tsunami in mid ocean without really
noticing.

Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired

Dannyboy, you need to picture a wave travelling at 400 kts but just a
fraction of an inch tall. Maybe then you'll get it.

Juan, I knew that before I posted it. Did it take you this long to
look it up?


Oh, but of course you did, Dannyboy, that's why your posting makes no sense
to the thread, isn't it? I grew up on an island, kiddo.

The questions has juan actually finished that BD-5 or is he just
saying so?

The real question is, who cares what Dannyboy thinks about anyone?

Geo, ever heard the story of what happens when you try to teach a pig to
sing?

Yes, it changes its name to Juan and leaves the country! :-)

Until they get warmed up and then they stay hotter.


Who in their right mind would build an uninsulated concrete home in a
tropical (or freezing) environment? The Monolithic Dome technology utilizes
polyurethane insulation (the most efficient insulation generally available).
Then they're 50% - 70% more energy efficient.
