Al Schwarz is a friend of my friend, Gina. When Gina came to visit me from PHX a couple of years ago we drove to Ferris to see Al and the house he built. It wasn't completely done when we visited, but enough Al could live there. Gina and Al are programmers, too. I think they met when they were both contracting years ago, something like that.
Anyway Al sent me an email in July stating they filmed at his dome home, You know how it is getting your epidsode aired they've changed the date a couple of times. So his DISH tv guide says Sept 11 while hgtv.com says Sept 18.
So set your dvr!

from Al:
Hello, I wanted y'all to know that my Dome Home is supposed to be on HGTV either Sept 11 or Sept 18 at 8:30 PM CT and again Sept 12/19 12:30 AM CT(the show is called Extreme Living
UNDERGROUND DOME HOME: Who says living underground has to be dark and damp? Al Schwarz sure doesn't, and he's built an underground dome home in Ferris, TX that proves it. But why underground? Because such a home would be energy-efficient and would protect him from the extreme Texas temperatures. But building an underground abode isn't easy - especially when you decide to do the building yourself!"
