    I used to insulate insulated trailer skirts in nw Wyoming. That made a !!HUGE!! difference in the floor staying warm and keeping the plumbing from freezing when it got seriously cold.

    A good cooling alternative in dry western climates is a swamp cooler. In fact the drier the air the better they work. Plus from what I justread on the 'net you can get indoor units nowadays. My...

    If sure if I lived there full time I'd insulate the floor with 2" foam board from Depot, Lowes local hardware, or wherever your insulation board of choice could be bought for the lowest cost. My...

    Try gently squeezing the zipper pull with pliers. The idea is to close the gap (that the teeth slide into) very very slightly. That has worked for me a couple times.

    At todays prices probably closer to 30K. Without doubt the most stunning yurt interior I have ever seen. If there was a yurt and garden mag that interior would be the money shot. lol

    Have a friend that used that in his huge 14x16 wall tent in elk camp, in addition to use on site. Works extremely well. His sons still use that on site if heat isn't hooked up yet.
