    Jafo liked post by UKadventurer On thread : New, modern yurt build in Mongolia
    We've made quite a lot of progress on the bathroom/hallway connection between our twin gers. Almost all the major fixtures are in now. Just need to install the window, partition walls and barn style...

    Wow, yes. It’s a great project, potentially an incremental set of improvements. I’ve never created a home from nothing and it’s getting slowly better. It actually hasn’t been a terrible hardship to...

    Of course, Bob, but it´s a big difference to wear wool clothing, which are permanently again & again in contact with fresh air - they can get wet and don´t loose their characteristics (see sheep on...

    Myself, I generally roll with the easy and cheap solution first, and see how that goes. Thanks for all the photos, UK.

    OK. Caulk is your friend in this application. I'd caulk every/all exterior and interior seams at the door. The lites, the door, the plates....all seams. The drip edge sweep I mentioned is designed...

    Jafo liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : Firewood
    Cut it, load it in truck, unload it, split it, stack it, fire the stove. Lots of work. But work is VERY good for your health. My wife and I cut two truckloads yesterday. I LOVE chainsawing wood,...

    I think there's a limit on attached images, I'll add more here. This is how one of the gers looks inside. We specified 2 windows but we like them so much we'll probably get a 3rd. There's also a 3...

    The right answer of course is more than you need. I run an outdoor boiler in Ont and will cut anywhere between 20 and 80 face cords a year. Have multiple log piles and firewood piles. Great exercise...
