Preparations for winter

Since we were planning on working on the inside of the dome through the winter, we needed to put in a temporary door and insulate the areas where the doors and windows would eventually go. We did not want to install permanent doors and windows until most of the framing was done so we would not accidentally break one with a 2x4. This is a picture of the temporary front door and the west window with the wood stove piped out of it. Both were insulated with two inches of foam insulation. That insulation would eventually be used later when we constructed our thermal shutters.
