    15-20 cords. I'm guessing more towards the 20 side with full on Canadian winter. Better to have too much then too little the first year. After a full year you'll know exactly what you need based on...

    If 7/16s is what you have, then go with it. If you can afford it, go with 16" centers-or 12"- on floor framing. Here in the U.S. 23/32 is standard on either 16" or 19.2". If 23/32 is good on 19.2,...

    IMO a 15 year professionally made vinyl cover is the way to go, especially in Maine. Cotton canvas covers don't last more than a few years, even in a semi arid climate. As for 'green' that won't mean...

    Nicely done. That lath looks great! You're gonna have one tough wall. I suggest you coat it with poly, oil or, as I did, paint it with oil base Rustoleum. Don't use washers. They will rattle when...

    10-4 on bear hunting. Unfortunately if you live in CA Sierras it just might get banned before long. I think bear hunting is known to cause cause cancer in CA.

    Adding an exterior air supply to the stove is an excellent idea. That's a reasonable amount of wood for a yurt that size, and in that climate. Consider a yurt is a tent covered with cloth. No...

    Tensioning the cables is gonna be a trip. I suggest if you proceed with wires, you incorporate a turn buckle in the system. How that would work beats the heck out of me. Ratchet strap might be...

    A smaller trad yurt made of wood and canvas, (or any type of fifteen year cover), is going to be a very healthy, extremely affordable home. I have well under 2K in mine, including the deck. However I...
