    How y'all doing with the weather? I've seen the news about the US extreme storms. We've had a mild (by normal standards) December. November was worse. No storms as such but some regular snow falls...

    I'm definitely not up to date on pellet stoves. That said, the pellet stoves I have been near wile being fired have a dinky flame that would be undersized for a poorly insulated yurt. But---there...

    I disagree with that. As an owner of a pellet stove and a wood stove, I can tell you that a wood stove works far better in a yurt with reflective insulation. A wood stove is radiant heat whereas...

    I had to take photos for the district office so we can get an address and qualify for free night time electricity. So I thought I'd share. The very lightweight fence marks the end of our...

    Wow, I can't imagine the cost of a frozen and ruptured engine block. My diesel truck (Ssangyong Musso) has a block heater which I'm using a lot these days. I have to pre-heat the engine for about...

    Just a quick update. We had a slight disaster with our well-house to bathroom pump. The heating failed over night and it was the usual -34C (-28F?) overnight. The pump froze and then burst the...

    Got me a small stove from Cabelas and was very pleased with it. No issues keeping it too warm. Just need someone to fill it every 3 hours while I sleep peacefully. Door was experimental and I...

    So let's talk about winter heating for gers/yurts. Our main heating source is electricity because it's very cheap here and even cheaper at night. About 4.5c per kWh in the day and 3c per kWh at...

    Great stories. Working outside in Mongolia generally stops in the countryside from December to February. Except for the most pressing, emergency issues. All exterior construction is usually finished...

    Thanks for the kind words and encouragement! The first door (a prototype / test case) is practically done. Paul the handyman and I put our heads together and came up with a rudimentary track...

    My yurt has no such track, rather a skirting made of bent plywood that goes around the entire platform, that is raised up an inch or two above the floor. Here are some pics I have dug up from...
