Solo Building our 20' Geodome Home Studio - DAY 1 (I've Never Done This!)

The manufacturer suggests a team to build this dome, yet I am curious and stubborn. I rarely ask for help, and I am a lone wolf. Embarking on a quest for an innovative and "cost-effective" (still expensive as Ill get out) residential space on our land, we chose to erect a 11' high, 20-foot wide Geodesic Dome Home Studio. This journey commenced with the construction of a robust treated lumber 15-point deck, meticulously engineered to support the dome amidst our county’s rigorous building regulations. I already had this built before the video started. Overcoming a labyrinth of bureaucratic challenges, I secured the necessary permits through sheer resilience. The adventure intensified with the assembly of a unique dome kit, a task unlike any I had faced before. I have triumphantly completed about 69% of the skeleton framing, yet the quest continues as I still need to install a pre-hung door, install windows and finalize the structure before the skin, insulation layers and flooring can be put into place. For the frame - each numbered bar must be placed with precision, as a single misstep could jeopardize the integrity of the dome. Correcting any deviations along the way, I pressed on, working tirelessly until late afternoon. Conventional wisdom suggests such feats require a team, but I've proven that determination can defy the odds. This endeavor is a testament that if I can achieve this, so can anyone poised to challenge the status quo
