John Seats came down from Orlando to help us assemble the V Buck System for our windows and doors. (www.vbuck.com) He was an immense help in determining the correct dimensions to give us wiggle room for the window installations later. He arrived at 9 AM and we took a one hour lunch, then he left at 3 PM. We assembled all the window and doors in 5 hours. This product will save time and money, they are also light enough to be carried by one person. You should have the product inside the dome before inflation, so it is easier than carrying in the window bucks thru the airlock. In time, energy and weight savings we feel that this product has high value to dome builders. Today we'll assemble the big windows inside the dome and place them in position for foaming on Tuesday.
