I had the thought after posting that maybe the shape of the pieces could be adapted for the curved/rounded pieces we've been discussing. It would spread the load, maybe? Something to think about.

I watched the videos and the one that showed the "long Dome" got me thinking that this system would be good for building an Airstream inspired trailer.

:)

With the correctly sized panels of course.

It sure would be well insulated and quiet.

This 3 room foam house has been in existence for at least 25 years... and is real easy to heat and cool....
