Another funky rebel,.. I am impressed !
I wanted to live in a geodesic dome, as it seemed practical for thermal dynamics of heating a home, air conditioning, minimizing construction expense, etc..
Just building a small model proved that to be wrong in so many ways
as home furniture and appliances are not designed for arc curving walls / ceiling , and leaves too many voids .
I still have my '60's-'70's copy of the 'Whole Earth Catlogue' , and the MotherEarth News starting with volume #1- through the first three years .
TMI probably.
And no , I did not meet 'Wavey Gravey'; but I follow Christopher Kimball on Americas Test Kitchen, who used to cook for the commune. Dam !! I have just outed , and dated myself !
It was pretty rustic, had a small heating oil furnace about as big as a dehumidifier. It had a single bed and I cut a piece of 4X8 plywood to make a table/desk that fit against the curve. I was renting for 20.00 a month. I did have electricity. And an outhouse and an old farmhouse no one lived in. Old pump for water. I’m talking setting out plastic jugs of cold pump water to warm in the sun and taking showers on the back porch of the farmhouse with Dr. Bronner’s peppermint soap. No commune - just me and my dog and cat. They would get in via jumping up on the car too. A neat memory was watching the moon through one of the clear triangles on a night when we had astronauts on the moon. My eyes would go from a small black and white tv to the actual moon. It was pretty cool.
