Build it half submerged in the ground and cover it with dirt and then you don't have to cut around your house any more.

Plus if you bury it you won't notice how ugly it is. :3eye:

And, if you bury it in Florida, you get a free, indoor swimming pool.

The struggle to purchase it, however, was nearly a year in fighting and extremely frustrating for him. Because these houses are so unusual and unique in appearance (read: "fugly"), it seems that no banks or companies will provide a loan for one because any attempt to re-sell is difficult. He searched endlessly until someone finally gave in, but attached some rider to the agreement that complicated matters if he ever could not make payments, had to sell, etc.
If you are gonna stay somewhere you have to live the way you want. I'm glad your friend stuck it out, homes have to be personal.

Your call, but you have to admit that's subjective. If I owned it, it wouldn't be white. :)

Cover it in a vine of some sort, just this big green leafy dome.

Missile cone tip, with silo-like circular fence around the outside.

OK. Here's another dome house that just made it through Ivan. The houses on either side were destroyed.

Dome House beats hurricane

This one also looks more interesting visually, but had a little water seep in through some weatherstripping, and some exterior stairs separate, as designed, from the house.

It's good looking, too.
