Re: Yurt Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

We placed a vapor barrier to cover the ceiling this fall and it appears to have reduced our ice build up. We still have dripping in a few places though - most noticably above our door. This spring we...

Re: Insulation

We tried a dehumidifier and reducing all moisture and everything. I helped a bit, but it did not solve our dripping problem and made living in the yurt unpleasant - extremely dry air is not nice to...

Re: Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

Well, the attempt to seal the cracks did not work - it's still dripping inside and we stopped all moisture - creating activities that we could. At this point I would not recommend anything other than...

Re: Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

We spent the weekend filling all the edges of the rafters with expanding foam and are hoping it will work to keep any warm air from getting up above the insulation. (We just have a few more spots to...
