    This was the house that my father-in-law and husband built. After I watched this video my heart hurt to see what this place looks like. My father-in-law passed away in 2008. We scattered some of his ashes up there. We sold it and whoever bought it, built that greenhouse and grew marajuana in it. I saw when it went up for foreclosure. We thought for a hot second about buying it but we just weren't in a place in our lives that we could have. My husband and I and our two kids lived there for 3 months when we were waiting on buying a house. We have so many wonderful memories. That view was to die for! I remember washing dishes at the kitchen sink and you could hear what someone was saying sitting in the living room because of the dome. You wanted to be sure not to talk about anyone in that house. LOL I loved the floors, they were heated and felt so good. I sponge painted the rusty color in the living room and the blue in the bedroom. The master bathroom tub was the best most comfortable tub in the world. My father-in-law did put up the red carpet in the basement. I wish I could post pictures on here of when it was being built. I also have two arial photos taken from a helicopter. Brian could you please keep us updated on here of the progress of the house. We would love to see it!!! Thank you.

      I love it too! 💚.. especially since I a few days ago started dreaming about a Fibonacci aligned housing and angles.. so the vibrations in the house stay bio harmonic/ resonant + super resilient to shakes etc.. and this round one is like the child dream of a mushroom shaped one lol ;)
      I’m Scandinavian… so.. but I love the mountains there! 🙌

    Brian might want to enlist, without spending too much, a design consultant to provide some ideas. I'd definitely "live" with the house a while before making any major design changes. Looks like a great project. Looks like a few tractor trailer or big, big dumpster loads to get rid of that trash. And Brian should definitely have lots and lots of photos taken now. It's easy to forget what it used to look like exactly once it's renovated. Looking at the "before" photos will be fun someday - yes, make prints and fill an old-fashioned photo album to keep on a coffee table for friends to see.

    "When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound" That line speaks profoundly to me. I would Follow anything Lyss and Rio create, but a Channel of Alyssa in Nature and reading a poem or quote, that would capture my heart and soul. Beautiful opening to this video. Brian found a beautiful home.

    Brian ought to start a channel about renovating his new home. I would watch it. I recently helped an elderly couple move into a retirement home. I had a small volunteer crew to clean up and clean out their former house. They were both hoarders. We couldn't even get into most of the rooms, including the kitchen and both bathrooms. We had to start removing things before we could see what was in the rooms! It took us about six weeks to clear everything out because we couldn't stand to work in those conditions more than three days a week! It starts to get you thinking uncomfortable thoughts. Brian, you are brave.

    I know I’m 7 months late but he should absolutely use that sunken part of the “open space” as a retro conversation pit!! They were popular in the 70s I believe!! Definitely don’t cover that up, it’s character that you can’t beat

  • @jodilynnmodel
    @jodilynnmodel 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Modernize it by new flooring, kitchen and baths but the structure will still give the retro feel, keep spiral staircase update railings and add reto pieces of furniture and decor to tie it all in! Easy peazy! So excited for him

    What a cool place. My wife’s friend lived in a dome house here on the central coast of California it was amazing. Good luck with your project Brian, I wish I was young enough to help out growing up in the 60s in Topanga canyon that’s what we did and my hippie wife of 41 years would be right there with us. Good luck from San Luis Obispo,California and thank you for the great videos

    Hey Lyss, so glad you were able to stop by the new place. Great to be able to give you a tour and also get some work done, but the best part was I actually getting to sit down and relax for a little bit and catch up with you.
    There's so much going on with the house its difficult to really put into words but this video did a great job of showing where we are now about 1 month in, and it would be so great to show you how far we've come with the project again down the road. Safe travels and you're welcome any time!
    p.s. the overalls are a great look -- business, but make it fashionable :)

      I agree with you on the sauna. Put the sauna in a different spot, where there is a view. Maybe convert the green room??
      What ever you decide, it will be 10 times better than the original.
      Glad you and your friend saw the potential.

    That dome home and land it’s on is sooo freakin beautiful that Brian scored I can’t wait to see what he does with it all. His friend Jess’s place just as awesome beautiful mountainous views , trees, trails, water looove Colorado. I’d live there if it wasn’t so cold in the winter being from upstate NY been in Cali 30 yrs now I’ve acclimated to this desert climate here but with an ocean. I miss the rain and fall most of all. Anyway excited about your next video. Enjoy!! ✌️Rio is adorable!!

This is a huge project and a massive opportunity for creativity. Have tons of fun with it!!! Very nice video Lyss. Love the life you are manifesting for yourself.

    @connie6545 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In one of my previous lives, I knew a guy who moved into a dome home in Alaska that he worked to build and renovate. What he noticed was that we, as humans, are used to a "square" reality in our lives--a "square" house, a "square" bed, etc. He used his ingenuity and imagination to make it his home. Beautiful view!! 😊

    @imscanon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Oh wow, I remember reading about that house being built ions ago. He has no idea what a gem he has there. Monolithic Domes will last forever, use very little energy, and are safe from anything. If he updated it well, it could go for millions. Highly sought after esp in wildfire areas like that. This place has so much potential. What a find. I'd be over the moon at a find like that esp for that price. Yowza. I'd totally fix the greenhouse because extending the growing season and keeping the animals out of your garden makes them highly prized in CO. You could use it for an entertainment area for now but still maintain that valuable feature for future owners. Man, I'd love to see what he does with this place and hope he doesn't screw it up. lol

      You need better supporting structure in a greenhouse that size due to snow loads. You can see what happened. Make the roof steep enough so the snow slides off.

    Omg the dome is amazing what a fabulous space. I love the sunken lounge space.I'd rip all the carpets out and replace some of them. Moderinze the kitchen white wash it inside and out then you can see where the light and dark spots and keep sunken lounge and bath. Definately put a few more windows in or a huge window/bifold doors to look out at the scenery when sitting inside, bifold that lead out from the kitchen to a deck area. It's such an amazing dream space.

Most the precious things are buried under dirt or water or worse. Hidden or yet to be discovered. That's a real nice find. great area as well. It looks like a magical place. Your all doing a great job,well done. 👍

    Colorado wow!
    A beautiful part of the world.
    The poem, your poetry, your choice of words throughout the video production inspire me to consider the words I use.
    Your 'community' is something to strive to build and be a part of also.
    I'm old, and have bought and sold a few time's over the last 20 odd year's.
    I renovated the first one because it was the trend att. Since then I have done minimal things initially to make it liveable. I found after a year or so living in the environment, inspiration, consideration and enthusiasm changed in that time. I would do smaller projects, necessary for personal comfort enough to keep enthusiasm until the true plan emerges.
    I knew an old man and his wife that speculatively build over 100 homes in their life and said, "there's always something you would do differently".
    One's time and finances are limited.
    To blend the retro with the new? Is one option. To keep some retro, and make the new obvious is another approach which I've seen become very successful especially amongst architects and designers.
    A good idea may be to use a laser measuring device to draw a plan of the existing building so Brian can put it up online to gather experienced people's input.
    Brian you have a gem. To not be put off by the clean up shows extraordinary foresight and determination. To you and your friends, well done. 👏
    It's already been mentioned, I also would keep the greenhouse for fresh produce.

    I love this! I think found your channel because the YT algorithm directs me to Land Cruiser content and you announced your new rig. When I was a kid, I used to read my grandfather's Popular Mechanics magazines and I would see ads for these geodesic domes and imagine building one in the woods. I don't envy the work he has in front of him, but I am jealous of what he has and hope you get to share the end result!

    I would make that step down area in the living room a relaxing freshly carpeted area with a ton of beautiful pillows. Imagine some creative dimmable lighting, pillows, the wood burning stove going, music.. so relaxing.

    I know a few families that own dome homes, there pretty cool. They live down in Florida the hurricanes blow over them with no restrictions they are sound homes and i have friends in Belize that have there tropical dome homes. I took by boat down there and visited its beautiful down there. Was planning to go this year but September last year hurricane IDA hit here in Louisiana and put my sailboat 20 ft under so I haven't decided to buy another sailboat or buy a home on wheels. Looking at the most of fuel rising I know it's gotta be hard on y'all and when I lived on my boat 40 gallons of fuel lasted me about a month and mothers nature winds are free. And I've soloed sailed all the Atlantic Ocean side in 3 years and loved every place I went with a veterans pension with adjustments I live fine. Be safe always and be happy

    I live near the Monolithic Dome Homes in Italy (pronounce it lee) TX. They are awesome, they don't take much to heat or cool them. They can be so cool.

    Nice! Robbyn and I will be back that way later this summer. Let him know I would love to share my carpentry skills on such a unique property. Great to see you thriving. Don’t you love this lifestyle? 😉✌️

    Fun property Brian
    I would lose the turned post in the living room and replace it with a weathered old tree 🌲
    The greenhouse could help pay the place off if you can grow on this slice of heaven.
    Best of luck 💙

    Many props to Brian and his friends for cleaning up the place. Lots and lots of trash and junk to get rid of. But what an amazing house and I hope to see some of the progress.

    For the fireplace/stove on first floor....make that space into a rounded adobe style fireplace with a big hearth and seating. Make the firebox big enough to cook in if needed. Whitewash the exterior, embed local rocks or tiles as a decorative asethetic. The round of the stove would compliment the dome shape.

    Lyss sweetie, I was rolling at the 4 min. mark when Rio was giving you the "Hey mom, why don't you ever let me drive?" look... Also, Brian I have a Masters degree in Structural Engineering and I am a General Contractor so if you run across any questions or problems just let me know. Interior design/decorating is more Lyss's area though. 👍 Lyss, BIG HUGS as always! 😍

    From what I remember as a kid growing up in the 70's and 80's, people who had a dome home (because of the home's uniqueness) decorated one of two ways. Either they embraced the futuristic look and went ultra modern with the decor (a-la glass and chrome) or went turn of the century late 1800's early 1900's as a decor theme to provide balance. Some of the Frank Lloyd Wright homes may provide good inspiration. They were futuristic, but in a very tasteful way.

    Dude I was just going to say KEEP the stove & move it where you said and someone can reangle the stove pipe above. That gas line move is only a couple of feet.

    I would do roof top landscaping, growing grass but also a vegetable garden up there. It would not only produce food, and keep it away from some of the wildlife, but also conceal the home a bit.

    the red carpet wall reminds me more of 60s decor. when they used to have pattern wallpaper where the pattern had velour on it. the blacklight righting and the cartoon wallpaper in the bathroom reminds me of the early 70s the flower children movement coming out of the sixties. looks like you have a very good base structure. with good pads and driveways going into your other levels. with the trees holding your property securely on the side of the mountain. cleaning up after hoarders sucks you and your friends have done a great job congratulations on your find and buy.!.!"

    Your Videos are so so Calming. Love them and you. I always wanted to live like this but it’s to late for me. I watched into the wild movie and for the first time I saw something that I’ve been feeling for so long. I need the peace of nature.
