That's great! We didn't have too much trouble, but I can see how daunting it is because you have to make such a bold modification to some pretty expensive pieces of the yurt. One thing you might...

The metal in the through the wall kit is indeed connected together, but that was done right at the end so I didn't get a picture of it. I like the way it just all...
