My partner and I stayed in their guest house last year and we had the best time! John and Linda are lovely people and their home is incredible... we especially loved their pool. They did the tango for us and I read their tarot cards. It was a memorable trip. Their story is so inspiring and we feel lucky to have met them.

@scientchahming5 2 года назад

@DawnOldham 2 года назад

I loved the relaxed and nonchalant manner in which the host spoke about each part of their house. He was very humble, yet honest about how much hard work the building was, especially because he had a 12 hour a day job at a factory. The home is beautiful inside and out. The decorating is timeless and warm and inviting. I would feel very comfortable and at home as a guest there! I’m glad I watched this video. It was also a good reminder of the all too quick passage of time, and how many different uses some of the rooms had served over the years. And now, it’s a quiet home awaiting the family to come back for visits!

@sisenmann 2 года назад

@JP-bv7bf 2 года назад

So nice to see a couple in love for 50 years and build a family home and enjoy it with their kids and now grandkids. My husband built our family home and after several years of his passing i had to sell it. But so many wonderful memories raising our kids and grandkids. Here on Vancouver Island. A beautiful blessing to be here.

@kevinwells4986 2 года назад

For me, and I have now watched a number (not huge) of these 'home videos', including my favorite subject, 'tiny homes'... this is absolutely gorgeous. I don't know how anything could be better. This place fits in the environment, and more importantly it grew with the family over the years. This is such a beautiful residence, it even makes the outdoors more beautiful. Because it fits that well. Thanks FLORB.

@allegrosotto2126 2 года назад

Congratulations to the wonderful couple. Tragically, rules and overregulation are stifling home builders. Rebellion against this degree of control is required as the homeless rate explodes.

@scientchahming5 2 года назад

Yeah, excessive regulation is one of the main reasons why there's such a large homeless population. Most cities, especially those like San Francisco, San Jose, NYC, Vancouver, Seattle, etc don't allow as many dwelling units to be built as are needed, thus pushing rents and mortgages to $2000+ per month for small studio and one bedroom apartments!

@PentragonCosplay 2 года назад

This house looks so magical that I could easily imagine it in a fantasy movie. But at the same time it still has something down-to-earth, maybe because of all the wood and the very homely decoration? I really like it, everything is so well put together, the inside looks very lovely and classic, the colours fit so well together. I only can imagine how awesome it must be for kids to live there! I bet their friends were all jealous

What a Beautiful Home. This is what a home built with love looks like. This home has to be priceless. All the work, all the time it took and all paid for a perfect retirement.

@ThomasEWalker 2 года назад

Very nice - and FYI: 1980 $1 US = $3.51 in buying power, so though that may not be accurate in all ways, this house is maybe $80,000 or less in materials today. Except that lumber today is much more highly priced than many other things and that is still a hand-built thing, taking quite a long time and a lot of work.

There were several built in the Bay Area back in the 1970's and 80's, as it happened I had the opportunity to talk with someone who had resided in one and he/she mentioned that with each panel having, that with six sides for hexagonal panels or eight for hexagonal panels; so many seams in each panel that must be sealed well, otherwise talk about a leaky roof senario. And just try and locate where from, which panel is compromised?

@lbrainsby 2 года назад

How lovely of you! We get many kind comments but you went the extra mile.... Somebody asked about square footage; about 3500 total floor space, the dome itself is 850 on the main floor. John

@scientchahming5 2 года назад

And it's quite a bargain getting a 3500sqft\348sqm house with the basic mod cons for just $18,000. That's an unheard of $5.14 per square foot \ $50 per square meter!

@trishalivingston1051 2 года назад

Adore it. It's wonderful. When married to my ex-husband for 18 yrs tried to convince him to do this. He expressed interest, but there was no will to do it. Could not do it solo... have to say, love the angles and unique designs and architecture involved in creating your beautiful home. Also a Brit, when living in Canada I drove everywhere looking at unique homes. The Geodesic have been my favorite. So love everything you have created... nice to see you are Brits also. You worked so hard, and your creation shows the effort. It is beautiful. TY for sharing.
