Re: Building my first yurt

So, Ive been sleeping in my yurt for a week now. Its been a learning experience. The first few nights were FREEZING cold. But I am getting the hang of keeping a fire going and wearing lots of...

Re: Building my first yurt

Tomorrow I plan to install the stove. I ended up making a roof cover from plywood which I will cover with some copper flashing which I found for $10. I also need to do some punch out work and clean...

Re: Building my first yurt

Ohh, I forgot to ask. How do I know if the wall cable is tight enough? I was able to sit on the roof ring, and its level.

More photos as well.

Re: Building my first yurt

I got A LOT completed over the weekend. I went from a bare platform to a nearly finished yurt. I just need to finish attaching the canvas walls and then fine tune everything.

Thanks for all the...

Re: Building my first yurt

I figured my stove/chimney pipe out. I purchased some Selkirk chimney pipe from Lowes as they had the best price I could find. I am going to run single wall pipe from the stove to the chimney. I will...

Re: Building my first yurt

Thanks for the tips Bob! I found a cone shaped flashing that I may be able to attach to a larger sheet of flashing (my roof ring is 36in in diameter), which would work nicely without the need for...

Re: Building my first yurt

I also plan on putting a layer of brick underneath the stove, and surround the stove in brick. The surrounding brick will act as a thermal mass and provide me a buffer from the hot stove in my small...

Re: Building my first yurt

I really do agree with you, Bob and Jafo, regarding fire safety. Its just one of those things you don't mess with, like electricity. That said, I just can't fit $600+ into my budget right now. So, I...

Re: Building my first yurt

Could I run double/triple wall pipe through my wall then switch back to single wall outside the yurt?

I put my decking/flooring down today. I have some small gaps off the bat. I figured that would...

ljamies: I am in Maryland. Its been cold here. Really cold. I can't imagine Ithaca a couple weeks back during that arctic cold front! My stove is 11x11x18 and I believe (but will definitely confirm)...

Re: Building my first yurt

Cool. I can follow up the cut with some sanding.

Im still undecided on my stove. I wish it was warmer and I would have time to live in the yurt for a bit to decide on the placement of the stove....

Re: Building my first yurt

Sounds good! I was planning on exiting the stove pipe through a wall, but now I am thinking through the roof ring. I would hate to cut a hole in my cover then decide I want the stove elsewhere. I...

Re: Building my first yurt

I hear you Jafo. I guess Ill have to bite the bullet.

I am having so much fun building this yurt, though, it is far more work than I imagined. I finished my khana today. Should have my rafters...

Re: Hello

Thanks! I plan on drilling then ripping. I can't imagine the extra work there would be if I ripped then drilled!

I have the platform partially framed, should have it finished tomorrow. Just trying...

Re: Hello

So, I am horribly indecisive. At least until I am fully confident in a decision. That said, I am changing my platform plans. I am going to build an octagon from 2x8, then add joists as necessary (two...

Re: Hello

I really agree with Bob's post. Everyone in my family keeps asking why I didn't just get some lumber and build a rectangle cabin and I simply reply that I want to live in a circle. I still get a look...
