Linda and I(John), owners and creators of this house, wish to thank all you lovely people for your kind and uplifting comments!
I’m totally inspired, thanks for sharing! Love from Ireland 💕
There was a dome home in my neighborhood growing up. I've always loved them. Yours is so beautiful. The additions are amazing. You're creative and focused
Legends!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and even more you're beautiful inspiring love with all of us. Best wishes 💛💛:)
Absolutely amazing, and very very true words you speak saying don't put things of, if you have a dream do it - because one day you will have no more days left. Thank you for this, continue enjoying life to the full.
They said: "The best place on the planet", because they are so happy in their life.... Congratulations....Thank you for sharing. Regards from Spain.
My partner and I stayed in their guest house last year and we had the best time! John and Linda are lovely people and their home is incredible... we especially loved their pool. They did the tango for us and I read their tarot cards. It was a memorable trip. Their story is so inspiring and we feel lucky to have met them.
We remember you very well! We shared a bottle of wine, and you had great weather until the forest fires smoke drifted in. Thanks for your nice comments! John and Linda
@@lbrainsby My husband and I have been dreaming of building our own house and living on our own land. We are young and don't have kids or a lot of money yet, but watching what you have done here is so incredibly inspiring! I will show this to my husband when he comes back from work so that we can dream about it together. Thank you for being an inspiration for us!
@@lbrainsby hey do you still rent out your guesthouse? My girlfriend and I would love to stay there one day. Your home is beautiful and your story is inspiring
@@Pavel13Datsyuk101 You can look us up on Airbnb...Vancouver Island
Your so lucky! Namaste
I absolutely love this house, and their story.
This is such a fantasy-fairyland-dream-house. I'm absolutely in love. From the house, the porches, the garden, the greenhouse, the pool, the meandering stairs and terraces, the view. Absolutely everything. Amazing job from the owners
And it's a wonderful combination of futuristic and rustic.
Wish they were my parents, so many memories from a full life of trying new things.
This home is a work of art and a piece of heart. It brought tears to my eyes. What an absolute treasure.
Absolutely! Brings the word h o m e to a whole other level! Wonderful couple, so endearing!
I loved the relaxed and nonchalant manner in which the host spoke about each part of their house. He was very humble, yet honest about how much hard work the building was, especially because he had a 12 hour a day job at a factory. The home is beautiful inside and out. The decorating is timeless and warm and inviting. I would feel very comfortable and at home as a guest there! I’m glad I watched this video. It was also a good reminder of the all too quick passage of time, and how many different uses some of the rooms had served over the years. And now, it’s a quiet home awaiting the family to come back for visits!
Almost every ingenious and self built house Ive seen on the internet is from Canada. Seems like there really is such a great spirit of ingenuity and expression there.
It’s true
There's some that do it in the States and elsewhere too!
So good to see this! This is my aunt and uncle, I've visited a few times as a child but not recently enough :'-( I never knew the full story and it's amazing to see the old footage. You can see a photo of my grandparents at 2:03 in the bookshelf on the right.
So cool. !!
I'm sure they'd appreciate & love a visit from you.
So nice to see a couple in love for 50 years and build a family home and enjoy it with their kids and now grandkids. My husband built our family home and after several years of his passing i had to sell it. But so many wonderful memories raising our kids and grandkids. Here on Vancouver Island. A beautiful blessing to be here.
I love how you grew the house bit by bit, organically.
5 years ago my boyfriend showed me a UA-cam video about dome house. Since then every time I think about my future happy home I’ve been wanting to have only a dome house!!!! 😭❤️
Congratulations to the wonderful couple. Tragically, rules and overregulation are stifling home builders. Rebellion against this degree of control is required as the homeless rate explodes.
Yeah, excessive regulation is one of the main reasons why there's such a large homeless population. Most cities, especially those like San Francisco, San Jose, NYC, Vancouver, Seattle, etc don't allow as many dwelling units to be built as are needed, thus pushing rents and mortgages to $2000+ per month for small studio and one bedroom apartments!
it's that and also inflation
Every piece has a story. Such a wonderful build!
Absolutely magical! What a truly magnificent t home you have created. Quite wonderful.
This is absolutely the best home I have ever seen in my life. It's the right amounts of comfort and atmosphere. Their hard work definitely shows, and I hope they are living a wonderfully peaceful life in their gorgeous space.
For me, and I have now watched a number (not huge) of these 'home videos', including my favorite subject, 'tiny homes'... this is absolutely gorgeous. I don't know how anything could be better. This place fits in the environment, and more importantly it grew with the family over the years. This is such a beautiful residence, it even makes the outdoors more beautiful. Because it fits that well. Thanks FLORB.
I did NOT expect the electrolyte pirate at the end 🤣
Had to watch this several times to take it all in. Takes my breath away 💕. When John gets to the room where he mentions “Linda’s paintings”…😱. If she is the painter of those paintings, that would be worth a whole video on it’s own. What talent she has…👌
amazing
it's so chaotic yet very harmonious and beautiful, and all that nature, pool inside the rock, come on
I love the different rooms, shapes and the connection of it all to each other! Very well done! Really nice! Thank you for your encouragement!
goals, even tho many of us have dreams and desires pre-planed in our minds, there's always a part that wishes to run away with someone special far away and redefine what life is all about.
This is the most beautiful house I’ve ever seen.
And it has an awesome story.
Truly wonderful, nothing could compare.
I have a deep admiration for the couple who built it. Bravo!
Superb! Literally took my breath away. I’ve watched hundreds of self builds in all forms and this home is truly heavenly.
I spent some time in a similar dome in southern Manitoba back in the 80's. A couple had broken up and left this building used only as an occasional cottage. very cool experience. Especially at -30 !
Thanks for your video.
Well done guys livin the dream!
What a Beautiful Home. This is what a home built with love looks like. This home has to be priceless. All the work, all the time it took and all paid for a perfect retirement. Built it as then went along. Even through he kept a log of what it cost, where the building stuff came from and kept the dates of when they put it up. Truly priceless. Beautiful Beautiful home wonderful work.
Just brilliant , absolute dream ...
Wow. Just gorgeous! And that swimming pool! Just wow! Well done to this couple. They deserve their paradise in the hills.
this is heaven
There were several built in the Bay Area back in the 1970's and 80's, as it happened I had the opportunity to talk with someone who had resided in one and he/she mentioned that with each panel having, that with six sides for hexagonal panels or eight for hexagonal panels; so many seams in each panel that must be sealed well, otherwise talk about a leaky roof senario. And just try and locate where from, which panel is compromised?
I think there's at least one left in the SF Bay Area.
The best house ever I have seen
This house looks so magical that I could easily imagine it in a fantasy movie. But at the same time it still has something down-to-earth, maybe because of all the wood and the very homely decoration? I really like it, everything is so well put together, the inside looks very lovely and classic, the colours fit so well together.
I only can imagine how awesome it must be for kids to live there! I bet their friends were all jealous
Really interesting and beautiful home. I wouldn’t know where to start designing that home.
Triangles.
This is a beautiful home. I can feel the warmth of the space and the wonderful memories created. Thank you for sharing!
Very nice - and FYI: 1980 $1 US = $3.51 in buying power, so though that may not be accurate in all ways, this house is maybe $80,000 or less in materials today. Except that lumber today is much more highly priced than many other things and that is still a hand-built thing, taking quite a long time and a lot of work.
It's a beautiful home and it shows that patience will give you great beauty in your home over time!
All I can say is wow. What a dream come true with natural elements. Simply beautiful. Such a labor of love and so humble.
Absolutely stunning! Quite an achievement, this beautiful home! Took my breath away.
Chapeau John and Linda, this is most lovely ❤️
The house is an absolute masterpiece. Thanks for showing us around!
unbelievable
Incredible! The creativity is awesome. Good on you!
Such a magnificent home design, a labor of love. It's a whimsical gorgeous mansion
Wow!! What an incredible, beautiful, special place. And a work of art! John and Linda you have a beautiful home and life that I imagine, you don't need a vacation from. Love your story, mindset and piece of heaven.
Absolutely amazing !!!!- It is just incredible what human imagination and will to do it can accomplish. LOTS of love to all.
I think I have found my forever home,
Really inspiring. Love how soft and warm and human 'nest' like it is. Thank you!
What a labor of love by this couple….. so amazingly cozy…. The history of things too….
What an amazing accomplishment. A lifelong project with wonderful results and memories. I love it.
what a beautiful place!
thank you for sharing.
This is my dream house! Somewhere apparently on the island where I now live. I was 13 when Expo 67 came to Montreal. I loved every minute of it, especially Bucky's geodesic dome. This home is exquisite!
I grew up in a geometric wooden dome house and LOVED IT!
Excellent forethought and craftsmanship. Did something similar in the U.S. Built as and when we could, repurposing materials whenever possible while borrowing as little as possible.
It was a lifelong project and agree it keeps you young and wouldn't trade it for the world.
My children learned many construction trades along the way as well.
Thank you for posting this. A number of people thought we were crazy, years later we continuously have people asking if we'd consider selling our home.
Not a chance..
Adore it. It's wonderful. When married to my ex-husband for 18 yrs tried to convince him to do this. He expressed interest, but there was no will to do it. Could not do it solo... have to say, love the angles and unique designs and architecture involved in creating your beautiful home. Also a Brit, when living in Canada I drove everywhere looking at unique homes. The Geodesic have been my favorite. So love everything you have created... nice to see you are Brits also. You worked so hard, and your creation shows the effort. It is beautiful. TY for sharing.
Lovely video! I used to live in Huntsville and later Vancouver Island so I can smell this home! Makes it feel like I've been there.
One of the most beautiful homes I have seen. Absolutely amazing!
Thanks you my friend beautiful home
❤❤❤❤❤❤ This is the most amazing home. I love that they connected the two areas together with a deck AND a hallway. I would get lost in there and I would not mind it either because I would never WANT to leave. ❤
