Building the Aroura

[Andy_in_Germany]

So, after making a list of the parts needed I found that in Germany it is surprisingly difficult to get wood, and very hard to get it in the dimensions needed for a 5m diameter Yurt.

After looking round for a while I asked a local carpenter I knew. His quote just came back as €1200 not including the wall lattice because they can't cut wood that small.

Of course, I have to add the cost of fabric, insulation, floor, doors... and find a source for the lattices, which was the problem that brought me to the carpenter in the first place...

Right now I'm getting retraining because of an industrial related illness so money is a bit too tight for this.

Still I'm a ot further on than before: I have a fairly accurate parts list, a better idea of the costs, and the design of the Yurt.

My new job will probably end up being somewhere with a wood workshop -I'm a trained cabinet maker so I'm licensed to use most woodworking machines- and space to store wood, so I can probably try again sometime.

Just not yet. It's frustrating but I'm not planning to give up...
