    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....
