#4What kind of rvalue are you able to get from the structure? I'm wondering if this would be viable for colder climates.

The R value for two layers of blueboard foam is 7.5 plus the r value of the corrugated plastic. But the structure is pretty darn tight and the shape tends hold heat much better than I expected.
You can always add more insulation layers and get more R value.

No plumbing but it's certainly possible.

#9How does it fair again strong winds in a storm and occasional hail? Is the isolation good enough to provide comfort in environment ranging from 35°C to -15°C ?
What is your solution for a bathroom? Where do you shower?

#10This is super fascinating! You mention snow, but I didn't notice what part of the world you're living in. I'd be curious about building something like this, but I'm in a part of Canada where -40 and LOTS of snow is a real possibility.
