Of course, there is the minor issue that outside work on an underground dome is... probably not very easy and uniquely terrible for the "lawn".
Obviously, you are 100% correct, but that's little consolation to anyone in this situation. If anything, the dilemma highlights the incompatibility of this type of building with American-style home ownership.
- hinkley 6y agoTo be fair, I have seen a couple of really thought out underground homes, and this one is kind of nuts. They (the builders) have a hill face on the back to serve as a “periscope” but they dig a giant funnel on the other side. I mean at this point I wonder if the architect is still around. He should be wearing this project like an albatross around his neck. If there was an architect. I don’t plan on buying any quirky houses in the future, aside from some amenities, but I think it’s safe to say that if you’re buying a weird house your first question should be about the building permits and such. If it is an under the table job, just run as fast as you can. And maybe for the good of humanity, anonymously report them.
