I don't recognize that structural limits to education exist simply because an individual's name is what it is.
What, then, did you mean by this?

I observed the construction of my neighbor, Bob Widmer's geodesic dome home.
I'd never seen the level of waste, in dimensional lumber, exterior sheathing materials, roofing, trim, drywall, and floor tile.
Equally challenging was thermal breaks, insulation, furniture, mattresses, wiring, windows, doors, skylights.
Sounds like your neighbor didn't know what he was doing. All those issues have solutions. Dimensional materials get trimmed, but there's 70% as much to start. When my parents sheet rocked their dome, the scraps filled a five gallon bucket, a point of pride for them.

The current best solution is Geoships.
