In conclusion for our dome construction, we believe that our method was researched well and that preparation reflected well in the construction phase. Our dome was stable and waterproof, with the only water in the dome coming from the down slope of the land and the water flowing over the dome coming back under the structure
HERE IS OUR VIDEO

IMPORTANT TIME STAMPS
4:20 - water test
2:50 - finish structure

SUMMARY OF CONSTRUCTION
GOODS
-The researched method was followed fairly well, with only small deviations
-The finished structure was very stable
-Completely waterproof (excluding the water draining back down the slope)
-Window was secured well and waterproof
-Cost effective
-Removal of the dome was considered and was easily carried out (simply cutting a few zip ties collapsed the dome)
-The dome could be easily rebuilt if needed
BADS
-The structure lost a small amount of stability in select areas due to the reasons outlines in part 1 of dome construction
-incorrect material was used for the covering of the dome ('shrink wrap' instead of 'heat shrink wrap')
