Roger, and the project owner Lisa, with her crew are enthusiastic, positive, and welcoming. Before long I was moving scaffolding, tightening bolts, handing up triangular panels, and generally having a great time! They even got me up there on the scaffolding!

By the time I left, in the cold settling dusk, a 35’ dome had been nearly completed in one day, by a ragtag group of people from all sorts of backgrounds, many of which had never done this sort of thing before!
