Monolithic Cabin Being moved

We finished the concrete spraying yesterday.  We placed a propane heater inside the dome last night to help speed up the curing process, so that it would be liftable this morning.

First we set up a level area to the side where we could set the building.  We then placed some concrete blocks down to set it on.  The blocks are going to help keep the beams clean.  We rigged up the crane and started lifting.  The Monolithic Cabin came off the pad beautifully, and we were able to swing it around and set it on the pads.

Today we plan on painting the interior and starting to form the next dome.  Next week we will continue to do both the new floor, and the interior construction of the first cabin.
