Insulation questions...Permanent yurt in Burleson County Texas...

Thank you so much that is very helpful. I used to live near Victoria. I know how yuck it can get down there. I spent many a day at Port Aransas on the beach.

Did you put insulation in the roof and walls?

Lol I will add floor insulation to our list then. My wife gets cold feet a lot. She would love to walk on a floor that isn't freezing in the winter.

I am glad to know someone else elevated tgeir yurt here. Good to know that works. Our kitchen will be separate from the house by design as well. I love to cook, bbq, and smoke meats. It makes sense to keep our sleeping area cool the kitchen as to be separate. I can't do another summer of cooking a big all day meal inside the house. Felt like I needed the turkey baster during that instead of the chicken I was cooking. :-D

I do think once we start building the yurt I will post pictures and a small commentary on them here. That way others can see how it works in this climate. I am going to attempt to make a round/oval-ish shaped front door for the yurt. The windows will also be round if I can figure out how to do it.

My construction experience is limited to none.
