    I'd put a portable propane heater in there, like the type used on construction sites. Nothing more than a common propane tank and a heater with valve that attaches to the tank. Fire that sucker up,...

    In my view nothing says waste of tax money like 'code officials'. In many ways American Indians had life about right. Live strong tough brave free. No 'code officials' were present.

    My E350 work van is the standard length wheelbase, or ~60 sq. ft. behind the seats. If you are living in a van that size or even the 72 sq. ft' version, you gonna find 200' is heaven. In that case,...

    Well thanks for the compliment but I'm no roofer. I'd run a hose up there and go section by section looking for obvious leaks. Looking at your photos I would silicone every last seam and also the...

    OK one last point lol. When I built my platform, I located one of the concrete support pads under the deck framing, directly under the focal point of the yurt platform. I embedded one of those...

    My Dad was a pro radioman all his life. When I was a little squirt back in 1960 in Weslaco TX, I memorized Dad tapping CQ on his ham radio: dah dit dah dit ... dah dah dit dah.

    The biggest issue with yurts discussed on this site is condensation/mold. Yes it is an absolute that a yurt must be able to breathe. Jute sounds like a pretty neat insulation idea. I'm looking...

    If you lack any real ventilation via operable cap vent and operable windows, alot of moisture from cooking and bathing is indeed trapped in your yurt. You have to get the moisture out somehow....

    To my way of thinking, utilizing the natural air flow inherrent in a yurt is the best way to get excess moisture out of the yurt. IMO the well designed modern U.S. type residential yurt, with hot...
