    If you are using grid electric, I see no downside to using these, if they really work.

    I am assuming you have a traditional one. I would try contacting Yves over at Groovy Yurts. They probably could make you up one with all the fixings. If you're looking for one less ornate and...

    YurterRT liked post by Jafo On thread : Ceiling/Center ring wood stove exit
    If you absolutely must go through the roof, then the skylight is the better option. The roof takes the most abuse out of any other part of the yurt. Personally, I would never cut my roof fabric. ...

    Surely Yurts - Steve liked post by Jafo On thread : Wooden Yurt Plans for permit
    I would look at Bill Coperthwaite's yurt plans: Yurt plans (http://www.insearchofsimplicity.net/yurt-plans.html) He is the one who kind of got this yurt craze in America going. :)

    chrishallweaver liked post by Jafo On thread : What about a plumbing vent?
    You will have to check with local code, but you can vent some lines with an air admittance valve, but not all places allow it. I would think that a yurt would be perfect for this considering how it...

    Surely Yurts - Steve liked post by Jafo On thread : Solid roofs for yurts
    There are solid wood yurts out there, but they are just as, and sometimes more, expensive than a normal stick built house. Here are some that were for sale in our Classifieds: ...

    I have not done a floating floor, but I would NOT put the floor under the lattice. There is a lot of weight to consider there and the floor needs to expand and contract. It will not be able to do...

    The contractor likely did not know what they were doing. That's usually the go-to stuff to use for floor leveling. I would remove what you can and get someone else to do it. It should work fine if...

    pablo liked post by Jafo On thread : Insulation
    I believe it is because you are venting via the cracked dome and exhaust. Most people don't do that when they over insulate.

    If you keep your batteries charged at 100%, then even the coldest temps should not bother them. The mistake I see people make is they go to their weekend cabin, run the batteries down to 50% and...
