He buried 3 rebar-enforced concrete domes under up to 15 feet of dirt. The home&#8217;s only opening is a glass wall facing south.<\/p>\n<p>Waschkowski explains that because the indoor temperature reflects the heat of the surrounding earth, it mostly fluctuates between 64 and 74\u00b0F. The couple explain the home is also very quiet and soundproofed from the noise of their busy street.<\/p>\n<p>With all the cement, the home was fairly expensive and Waschkowski argues that berm houses (earth-sheltered homes) are about half the cost with most of the same benefits.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"htcBui4N1K\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/milano411.com\/the-david-is-jp-gowdy\/\">THE DAVID is JP Gowdy!<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe title=\"&#8220;THE DAVID is JP Gowdy!&#8221; &#8212; MILANO411\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/milano411.com\/the-david-is-jp-gowdy\/embed\/#?secret=htcBui4N1K\" data-secret=\"htcBui4N1K\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"2h6cq8goEo\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/milano411.com\/the-david-is-jimbo-collins\/\">THE DAVID is Jimbo Collins<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe title=\"&#8220;THE DAVID is Jimbo Collins&#8221; &#8212; MILANO411\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/milano411.com\/the-david-is-jimbo-collins\/embed\/#?secret=2h6cq8goEo\" data-secret=\"2h6cq8goEo\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUMMER OF SC-FI: 2019\u00a0 &#8211; www.MILANO411.com Wonderful structure with a vision towards the future.
