This is a quick and absurd video documenting my creation of a dome on my roof named 'BARNACLE'. Yes.....I'm a clown. Please note: this is not a "How-to" video. The main purpose of the building of this dome is to further my experience with aircrete. This trial-and-error experience has been a most worthwhile addition to the excellent workshop I took in the incredibly magical land of Terlingua, TX in October of 2020. Thanks Daniel and everyone else who attended! The next dome I build will be somewhere outside of the chains of the Iron City!! Perhaps West Virginia.....stay tuned.

I had a rather strange, mystical and synchronous experience occur to me while searching for property in West Virginia. It may or may not have involved Thor! Yes.....that Thor. In part 3, I do my best to articulate this odd "crossroads" in this pursuit of finding land to start this whole Autonomous Village idea....or is it simply not meant to be? The photo from the 'Vanishing Pittsburgh' show was taken by George Francis through an event hosted by Ethereal Aperture Photo. The quote about Thor was taken from 'Myths And Symbols In Pagan Europe' by H.R. Ellis Davidson. I highly recommend it. Also, check out Neil Gaiman's 'Norse Mythology'. Music: Opening song is "That Perfect Place" by Iron and Rope. Second song is "The Mist Covered Mountains" (traditional Scottish song) by Iron and Rope. Those two songs can be found here: https://ironandrope.bandcamp.com/releases The ending song is "Awaken" by The Rusty Nails. Found here: https://brettalexanderboye.bandcamp.com/album/history-in-the-rust-the-best-of-the-rusty-nails That song I was jokingly singing in my traffic-ridden car...."a vehicle designed for speed stuck in a clotted artery..." is called "Throwaway" which can be found here: https://brettalexanderboye.bandcamp.com/track/throwaway The music you here in the backround in my car is Ennio Morricone's 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" which is THE GREATEST film soundtrack ever!!!
