Dave has a photo album at the group home page showing the beginnings of his projects. A while back I tried to contact him but got no response. He's still a member, but not active.

Slurry would have to be pretty thin to flow through the netting. It really is amazing how little gets through there. I did put a double layer of netting on my roof though. Very little slurry got through.
I just read an article in this Funky little paper called Farm Show by a guy who is building a papercrete dome. (Are you a member of this group Aquaponicdave?). I will try to send it. He uses an inflated balloon form and does sort of what I have been doing using blocks and slip forming.

Yikes! That's pretty cold beans there!
Regarding the inside/outside, what is inside the inside to keep the slurry from flowing through the poultry netting?

I've started wrapping my dome frame with poultry netting, and got one window in place with temporary tie wires to hold it while the wrap is done. This netting will be the inside part of the form, with the outside part being slip form.
The weather guessers are saying that we're about to get hit with 20 degree mornings, and at my elevation I'm usually at least ten degrees below the "official" temperature, so it'll probably be a while before I start slinging slurry.
