    If the site is flat enough, I'd go with a concrete pad. Fast to build, affordable, bombproof, no upkeep. If you have electric and plumbing, you need to get that based first. If you gaet burned out on...

    Totally off topic. IMO Mongolian women are singularly the most beautiful women on the planet. No makeup whatsoever and they are absolutely beautiful.

    Yurts are perfect for nomads. Folks that can get by without running water, and electricity, and a simple kitchen and bathroom, are very few and far between in the U.S. Plus, houses hold their value,...

    New size is SMALL! WAAAAY small, but will be good for two with a stove in the middle. Less weight, less parts, less cordage, faster setup, smaller 'footprint'. Easier to heat when it is really cold....

    Gonna build a 10x12 greenhouse on the yurt platform. The 16' yurt was just too big to heat without insulation, and too much for camping. It's a whole lot easier to find a flat spot for 12' vs 16'...

    I'm downsizing my 16' yurt to camping size for two, at 12'6". Just finished a new 28 slot roof ring yesterday. Painted with blue Rustoleum industrial alkyd enamel and it is drying as I type this....

    Agree with Jafo about step ladder. I've also used extension ladder on the outside of my 16' yurt to get up to the ring. I simply layed it parallel with the roof, set my step ladder adjacent to the...

    Off topic. I installed a deer shed for a handle and a barrel bolt inside. Outside, a gate latch with hasp and a lock. Steves rig is nicer though. If you want a standard residential lock, you need...

    That's the downside to modern technology. Off topic, 90 percent of the calls we get on our landline, and probably a third I get on my cell phone, are junk sales/ scam calls. "The IRS is after you....
