    TSRalex liked post by Jafo On thread : Electrical Work Estimates
    That's hard to say. It really depends on what the electrician will be doing. Sounds like they will be doing everything from scratch, from the pole so on a back of a napkin, it doesn't sound all that...

    I will end my posts on this thread before they become political. Here's a true short story. In 1995 my partner and I trimmed the large new home of the president of a brand new home building...

    TSRalex liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : Pros & cons for high/low walls (lattice)?
    I have watched several youtube videos of Mongolian families/herders erecting and dismantling their yurts. These nomadic people move their yurts from pasture to pasture a few times every year. For...

    TSRalex liked post by Yurtman On thread : Pros & cons for high/low walls (lattice)?
    My standard yurt is 56” which is very traditional. We do a high wall too which is 66”. But my yurts are for camping so it’s not necessary to have higher walls. The main advantage with low walls is...

    My yurts were a single area only, no bathroom. As for wind, yurts are 'the' most wind resistant tents by a long margin. All the exterior surfaces are curved and backed by wall lattice and rafters....

    I feel like I have to duck into yurts with short walls. I am 6'0. To me, the taller walls just feel more natural whereas the short walled yurts feel more hobbit'ish..

    Walls on my yurts were about 5'4". I am 5'9". I had no problem with clearance walking around inside at the wall. For windows and a door you don't need to duck to enter you'll need a taller wall. ...

    TSRalex liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : Q: Thickness of polyacrylic domes?
    Jay, that's a good point about using a rope to stop the roof cover from ballooning up in heavy wind. I made a rope bridle for my 16' yurt out of a fifty foot piece of retired 11mm climbing rope. It...

    We have had hail that put small dings all over my car and shredded the leaves off the trees and that didn't phase the dome on our pacific yurt one bit. mind you, it was deafening in here at the time...

    I always opt for as much natural light as is reasonable given the budget. For illumination reference, a typical 4'x3' bedroom window in an older tract house from the 60s / 70s admits about 12 square...

    A 6.23 diameter opening has an area of ~about 30 square feet. A 5' opening has an area of about ~20 square feet. So the bigger dome would admit substantially more light. As for yurt dome materals and...

    All yurts come with a dome that measures five-feet across and 16-inches tall. The domed yurt skylight is ¼” thick pure acrylic. Pure acrylic outlasts other clear polymers when exposed to the elements...
