The Split Air Conditioner equipment arrived this last week and all looks in order. Steve Carlson from Steve's Heating and Air Conditioning in Akron will be coming later this week to install it.

There's not a lot to these little systems. We bought just about the smallest unit available. But considering the small size of the house, its general efficiency, the small amount of southern glazing and the intended windows covers -- it should be just about right.

There's a great article about Trinity Dome (and this site) over at Monolithic.com. It's very well written, and was certainly quite a compliment to have our work featured on such a respected outlet.
Many thanks to Freda Parker for the excellent write-up and to the fine folks at Monolithic for the opportunity to share our story. You can read the full article here.

Now that most of the behind-the-scenes work is done, we've been able to continue working on the drywall and other interior elements.
;)
Here you can see the completed main wall between the living / dining areas and the bedroom. The door is now hung going into the bedroom as well. It's ready for tape and texture.
;)
This view shows the door to the garage as well as the wall separating the two parts of the structure. You'll notice the sheet of bead board to the left of the door. This will serve as the backing on an in-wall mini-pantry.

The missionaries at the local LDS church were kind enough to help us out a little over Labor Day. Here you can see the cement board they installed below the living room window. It's now nearly ready for a coat of plaster. Thanks for your help guys!

There electricians finished up their work inside the walls last week followed immediately by the plumbers. They set to work on roughing in all the in-wall plumbing. This included all the supply lines, drain lines, and soil stacks through the dome shell. They were then able to set the tub and showers units in both baths.
;)
Here's a shot of the shower unit in the master bath. The pocket door will ake this room very accessible.

This view shows how the unit looks from inside the master bath. Since no lights are hooked up yet, it's hard to get a very bright picture.
