    Jafo liked post by Krusty On thread : Yurt platform
    The answer is: it depends! Here in Canadastan you can use 5/8 osb on 16" joist centers. And then put carpet or wood flooring. So your subfloor depends on your joist spacing which you do not...

    Regardless of what some permit departments may want us all to believe, yurts can be permitted pretty much anywhere unless there are specific codes that block yurts in that particular area....

    Jafo liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : DIY and natural waterproofing for canvas?
    IMO a 15 year professionally made vinyl cover is the way to go, especially in Maine. Cotton canvas covers don't last more than a few years, even in a semi arid climate. As for 'green' that won't mean...

    10-4 on bear hunting. Unfortunately if you live in CA Sierras it just might get banned before long. I think bear hunting is known to cause cause cancer in CA.

    Have had a look on this stove - looks good too, but 4,410 bucks are not really an occasion.... :D Since last week I´m in discussion with an Russian manufacturer and they think about the...

    Jafo liked post by skihuckster On thread : Questions About Building a Maine Yurt
    I used Bigfoots, which expand from a sonatube to a larger diameter and look kind of like a bell. The ones in the middle of the deck (x4) are 12" sonatube and the bigfoot expands to 28". The ones...

    Most of the time Murphy beds are indeed mounted onto the rafter supports (studs) or onto an interior partition wall. If you plan to use a bed that folds vertically where the head or foot of the bed...

    Jafo liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : How to spread stresses across dome, keep it in place?
    I don't know squat about domes. Good luck. To anchor my 16' yurt, before I built the platform, I made a roof harness from old 11mm climbing rope. I made a loop the circumference of the rafters...

    Jafo liked post by Wintergreen282 On thread : Yurt vapor barriers to combat mould
    To be clear, I don’t have moisture or mold problems. Just an observation after I had washed the dome. There is often a frost/condensation layer on the dome, but it always just evaporated. It never...

    I couldn’t agree more it was a matter of sending a picture of the door and they pointed out the problem and offered to replace the half door to get the proper seal. So simple, so easy, great customer...

    Flexible PV panels could be adhered directly onto the yurt's top cover, but It might be better to adhere some grommeted strips of fabric onto the top cover so that you can fasten the PV panel to them...
