Welcome to the Dome!

Howdy All!

Welcome to our blog! Leave it to alternative living to inspire us to start a blog. We, Laura and Meghan, live in a dome. It's like an igloo, covered in grey shingles. It sits at the top of a small rise, with the Connecticut River to the east and the Ompompanoosuc River to the west. We live next door to four of our friends who also enjoy alternative housing. We thank the ladies of the barn for inviting us into The Dome Adventure.



The Adventure started on May 12 when we signed our lease after a quick tour of the dome and its surroundings. Our landlord agreed to put a window in my room and to add a small room out back so we could have a washer and dryer. One of the main benefits of living in a dome is that if you want to put in a window somewhere, you just cut a hole in the wall and stick it in! As promised, I came home one afternoon to find Harjit sawing a hole in my wall. Two days later, I had a window. Voila! As Meghan pointed out, however, there's really no need to lock our doors, because if someone wanted to get in they would just have to cut a hole in the wall.

Okay, tune in later for Rodent Rally, Ant Attack, and Large Spider Splatter. Next up: Meghan with Domestic in the Dome.
