Note: This is a reprint from our Summer 1997 Roundup. We also plan making and installing for the winter, two solar panels, thus eliminating the need of a furnace.Īll in all, the packaging and shipping, as well as the technical assistance which you and your entire staff gave me, throughout the progress was great and appreciated tremendously. The uniquely beautiful homesites at Jasper Highlands range from half an acre to more than four acres in size, with a few select sites for estates of 40+ acres. This furnace does not use internal air and actually pressurizes the inside and exhausts out the opposite wall of the dome with combustion exhaust going out a muffled exhaust tube. Jasper Highlands is the ultimate Tennessee mountain community for retirees and remote workers who want to live above the clouds, but just 25 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. We have vented the dome by having a fresh air intake at the furnace, and an exhaust on the second floor. We have installed the smallest gas furnace which we could. The average temperature never drops below 65 without heat. Located in Newton County, the small town is surrounded by natural beauty of where the nations first national river, the Buffalo, begins to flow. Access 118 trusted reviews, 99 photos & 33 tips from fellow RVers. We are moved in and have been living in the dome for the past four weeks. Informed RVers have rated 17 campgrounds near Jasper, Arkansas. By doing the electrical, plumbing, and carpentry, I was able to save a great deal of money as well as frustration. We finished the dome interior in six weeks! All cabinet work, floor coverings, sheet rock, and appliances are in and done. Ron Boswell of Mountain Home did the actual application of the concrete, while I led the mixing crew - total of five men and four days. We then waited for some five weeks, for the traditional January warm spell. We finally poured the foundation and slab over the week of Thanksgiving. We received in excess of 20 inches in four weeks. November gave us fits as it was the wettest in many, many years. From the beginning, the weather was our enemy. We have finally come to a breathing place, and can write of our “Birthing” of the dome.
