Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

[Knecht]

Big progress today! Finally had a nice day without rain, snow, windstorm or other presents from above. So, we could start the wall

insulation

at last!
First, we took off the camo tarps.


Then we added the wool felt






Here's a trick to hold the felt on the

tension cable

before it can be stitched to it:



And here's a trick how to install the hemp fiber stripes. They are 10m long but only 60cm wide, so it's not easy to hold such a piece of material to the khana before it can be tied and secured. We've solved this by tying a long piece of wide rubber band around the yurt. The insulation stripes are easily tucked under the rubber and you have enough time to tie it. Then just move the rubber up and go on.

First hemp stripe added:


...continued


and almost done:


Lower cover tarp added. It's not perfect, but we'll take the tarp off once again in a while, so it's no big deal.


Interier look, don't mind the roof insulation, it's still somewhat messy after the windstorm. It will be all straightened and fixed during the final completion.


As usual, too dark to take pics when we've finished. Both outer tarps are in place.
