Thank you for posting this. I think it helps to have a face to go with the anonymous names we all seem to have here on Steemit. They say 100% communication is so much % language, and a majority % body language, which I think is a crucial thing we miss out on with internet communication. This is something I try to transcend with the words I choose, personally, because I think if you're articulate enough, you can eliminate a little of that needed body language, but it's still a big problem even then, because all you get is my text. You don't see who, what, and how I am as a human being in the present moment, which ultimately is the part that counts.
I salute you, by the way, for sharing half your SD earnings with anyone for whom you share their secret story - that's just outright amazing of you. So big kudos to you on that. Even doing that, I believe you'll be able to reach the goals you mentioned. Your posts are garnering a TON of attention, so as long as this site is still here, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't happen.
Also, I've never seen an teradome before. That's pretty cool. I bet it makes for cheaper utility bills. I've seen what people call Earth Homes, which is just like any other house, except the whole back of it is underground. You can walk from the ground right onto the roof, which gives that half of the house the "basement wall" effect, which keeps the temperature very well regulated inside year-round. Is that what I'm looking at with some of those other ones?
Anyway, great video. Thanks for posting it and allowing us to see @stellabelle the person. :)
yes the Terra Domes are underground and have virtually no energy bills.
There's mold though, so that's one thing that's a negative. I don't live in this type of home, but I want solar panels soon.....
I didn't even think about the mold aspect. I bet that is an issue.
And I hear you on the solar panels!
It looks like a good bit of upkeep on a home like this. Many variables to consider.https://dengarden.com/misc/The-Pitfalls-of-an-Underground-House
Love all your "Secret Writings" BTW please keep it up, it is a noble thing you are doing. Like a personal wiki leaks and you split the SD. Bravo! Keep up the amazing work.
Yes it is more than fair to receive the 50% steem dollars for all the extra work you put into it, turning it from text into something deeper and emotionally engaging
