A close-up view of the dome framing.

Framing – Overview

It’s time to frame with the prefabricated parts and erect the entire structure.

This is the most satisfying part of the project, and it involves the following:

  • Framing the floor
  • Framing the Inner Wall
  • Framing the Outer Wall and Studs
  • Sheathing the structure

While it is possible to do all of this as a single person, this part of the build is particularly helpful (and more fun) with a helper.

Expect to spend the following amount of time doing the work outlined in this chapter:

  • with 0 helpers: ~4 weeks
  • with 1 helper: ~2-3 weeks
  • with 2 helpers: ~2 weeks
