1. That's pretty cool!

Wonder what the cost is...

[MynameisBlarney]

2. No idea

But probably a great deal less expensive than those prefab houses that FEMA is so fond of.

11. Concrete tent? Just give me a sleeping bag and my woman and I'm fine.

Edit: At our age that pretty much means we'll pass out, wake up in the morning both having to pee, and grump about our sore backs all day.

12. That reminds me of some of the "hippie" constructions in the 70s

One builder took some kind of inflatable things, maybe weather balloons, blew them up, then sprayed them with concrete, like what is used to make swimming pools. Once they were up, holes could be cut for windows and doors. They'd put a number of the balloons together to make an entire house.

Ah - here is the original idea for doing that:
