Hi John!

I've been meaning to message you for the past few weeks about our progress on the dome, I've just been so busy!

My AmeriCorps position officially ended last Friday, so now I am back home in Idaho going to school. We didn't get to cementing the dome, but hopefully I'll be able to go back this fall and next spring and get working on it.

We tried to do the zipboard that I was talking about, but for the triangle dimensions we couldn't fit the board onto it well. Also, the board was a lot more flimsy than we anticipated, so we threw that idea out and continued with the hardware cloth and burlap. 

We were able to finish covering the dome in hardware cloth, installed windows, and put in the entryway. I wish I could have done more on it this summer, but I'm really happy with how far we got on it.

I hope all is going well! Let me know if you'd like me to do a rating on your dome page. I always planned on doing one, I just didn't know if you wanted me to do it before it was completely finished!

Thank you for all of your help with this project, it's been great to work with you.

Elyssa
