As an online student of your bioveda.co, first of all I would like to thank you for the fabulous course - the sharing of all your videos, the ideas that work, the mistakes, the failure etc. By watching the videos on your course, I feel as if I have been there in person doing the course and this had boost my confidence to such a level that I could dream of building my own dome house.

To cut the story short, last September an opportunity came my way to purchase a land. I started to build a dome house in that land with effect from 19th November 2018. The dome house is under construction and I am attaching herewith the today's photos and videos of the construction. Once complete this may be the first residential dome house in India.

Being in India, you know, there are a lot of disadvantages. Even though I am very much interested to build an aircrete or a super adobe dome, I found out that it is very very difficult (impossible, you may say) to get materials for the same.

In the end, I have to make a compromise. I thought let me see if I can build the dome house using materials and resources that are available locally. With that in mind, I went to the village, where my land is, and select a team of skilled and unskilled labourers (daily wages) and started. I am using AAC blocks to build the dome house, which are similar to aircrete blocks and very light weight.

Since 19th November 2018, I am been thinking of writing to you, but then I thought that when I have a problem, I will write. But till date, the construction is going smoothly. Today after me and a friend filmed the construction using his drone camera, I feel that I should not wait any longer and should share this with you.
