Yeah, I read "The Dome." Everyone involved had a seriously bad day.

I started writing about the fruit-bearing apple trees that are in the way of an addition, but hopefully I decided to do schoolwork instead. In theory, I could add onto the back of the shed, and make it L-shaped, but I do not know how much usable space I would have, since I would need to move the shed five feet from the fences.

Mom had talked about me putting a shed in the other corner and that is still an option, but for some reason I still want to research sinking it into the ground, and whether I decided to put in a transparent roof or solar panels, building five feet from a six-foot fence would not make a huge amount of sense to me.

If I had the lower wall 2.6 feet high the sun should just clear the fence and reach the entire roof.

Why do I want to sink it again?

Right now the best option may be to expand five or eight feet onto the front. Eight feet would not necessarily require much more material than 5' because of waste, but 80 square feet would be far more useful than 50.

I could have a desk in one corner of the addition, storage next to it and on the other side, and it should work.

I would just need to get rid of the wasps once and for all.

I recognize a cultural reference when I see one. You expect a Steven King book to be uplifting? What about The Simpson's Movie. I hear it had a dome, but Wikipedia doesn't connect it with Mr. King. What's up with that?

Why do I want to sink it again?

So you can dig a hole and pull it over you?

I scrolled to the top of the page looking for a plot plan. How much space do you have? How much space do you want? Build a 2nd shed and bridge the gap with a non-code canopy.

The only part of "The Simpsons Movie" that I remember is one that I wish that I could forget and I never plan on discussing.

Huh. It sounds much like the book (the show did not seem to have much to do with the book), except it was created by the EPA instead of alien children with high-high faces.

Oh, was that a spoiler? I guess that you cannot read or watch it now.

Weirdly, the next book that I read was "Jack Reacher" and the main characters were quite similar.

The yard is sixty feet wide and about fifty feet deep. If I moved the current shed five feet from the fence and built a second the same size in the opposite corner, there would be thirty feet in between, with trees under the left side.

I was supposed to read five chapters and watch five lectures for today's quiz. I was not feeling well, so I did the best that I could.

That best only got me a 78.5, which is aggravating when I need an A in the class.

The Simpson's Movie was created by underage aliens?

'Sounds like'? Did you watch the first ten minutes of the TEDx talk?

In "The Dome," the book, alien children made the dome. That part of "The Simpsons Movie" reminded me of what I read.

No, I have been trying to focus on schoolwork, but if you saw my livestock thread, I have done a terrible job of it.

TLDR; You can live in a mud hut under a high-tech dome and prosper.

Don't let the media, books and TV, warp you thinking. And do your homework. But I'll try to keep you up on the whackadoodle stuff.

[Xist]

You think outside influences can warp -my- thinking?!

I slept at least eight hours last night and took a six-hour nap after earning that 78.5%. I worked hard for it!

I might have done better had I been able to take a nap beforehand, but I definitely did not have time.

On Brazil we hadn't much thermo-electric (coal power plant) but we have a very huge (giant) production of sugar cage (for suger and ethanol for cars) and there is enormous amounts of cane bagasse after the squeeze the sugar cane juice. This bagasse it's most times burned to generate energy (electric and thermal) to power the sugar refinary usine.

Well, they found the ashes of sugarcane bagasse can be used as partial replacement to portland cement or to make the portland get sme good properties. Not sure if works for aircrete, but I found it's good for cements for ecologic bricks (earth compressed bricks with portland).

With few like replace 5% of portland cement with ashes make it even better.

About romans, their concrete formula last mouch more than our modern portland cement. That's why many roman builds are still stand.

That's why I'm astounded that the Pacific Northwest is literally covered with the stuff (underground). I thought it was limited to one quarry in Italy.
