Second day of making the windows plumb, but only working on the last area, the 2 story augment. Had to make some adjustments and chip away some of the excess foam at the top, to provide enough clearance for v buck door/window unit. These are some huge windows and they really are going to be terrific.

Billy is in the process of designing the waterfall feature for the front of the dome. There will be a lot of tropical foliage and several levels of spillways and waterfalls (like a Jamaican waterfall) it will be about 12 - 16 feet tall. We are including a unique life size sculpture of a mermaid in the water feature. More on this later. It will be spectacular, with an arched bridge over the stream created by the waterfall, and will really set off the front entrance to the dome.
