    Great video. Seems to be much more simple than some of the other methods I have seen. Quite a bit more cutting and welding than other options, but no need to buy a pin on kit, which allows the use of less expensive kits. Thanks for the idea. But, I have one question. Did you say what the thickness or gauge of plate you used? I was thinking about using 1/4", but I need to measure the thickness of the back of the bucket to make sure 1/4" isn't overkill.

    • @eddieco
      @eddieco Před měsícem

      Generally speaking, when I measured it all out, (my OCD took over.. lol) I found out this way had less overall cutting and welding, and arguably is stronger because the cross brace of the bucket is left on the machine. I have used this a lot, and not had any issues.

And several times since. But the odd shaped rooms, the rooms are too small and should have used a few of the larger sun tubes.

      If memory serves me correctly, I think the dome kit, which includes the hardware, arched I beams, and the rebar, was around $50K. You'd need to call Formworks Building in Colorado to find out what the price is today, as steel prices have risen and fallen which directly affects the price.

    CO2 lasts 300 to 1000 years in the atmosphere. Methane last around 12 years in the atmosphere. CO2 is a much worse greenhouse gas due to time in the atmosphere. Methane though is a powerful greenhouse gas but not that long lasting. Unless you have Solar and or wind for all your electricity it makes no sense for these reasons and all the reasons in the video. Average electricity mix is well over 50% carbon polluting sources i.e. coal and natural gas. Compost outside and regularly stirring the pile very little methane is released. People need to consume less. If you live in an apartment bring your gardening friend your compost.
