Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

BTW, any of you guys on FB? I've long avoided to join, but I had to (to sell my products) and I'll be glad to meet you there.

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

hey Bob! Glad to be back, even though not being a fulltime yurt resident anymore.
As for dampness, I don't really think I have that much to say, other that "this didn't work" on some possible...

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

Thanks! I was quite sad to leave my yurt and hope to spend future weekends and holidays there...but as I said, it was necessary to get our own place finally.
I would still love to make stuff for...

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

To be honest, I didn't ask. The land belongs to my family and technically it's a tent. I've never heard of anybody asking for permission to build a tent on his own property. Also, we have a regular...

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

I found out my stove is great if you like roasted sausage for supper.
Which I do! The large door is just above the fire grid, makes roasting easy.

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

Nice. Putting a pipe through wall makes some things much easier, though it requires well prepared wall section for that.

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

Interesting, thanks. I think I've heard about the Innuits linig their firepits with it. I have rather small pieces, that I use for carving various historical stuff. Not sure if I could find any large...

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

The device behind the stove is a spark trap. The whole set is army surplus, likely made in 50's or so. It was made for large army tents and various semi-permanent installations. Very primitive...

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

It's getting cold here lately, had to fire up the stove today, after a long time. Still works fine. Already learned to heat the pipe first with a torch of rolled newspaper, to get a nice draft. Works...

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

Thanks for the ideas. I don't plan to redo the stairs any soon unless necessary. At first I wanted to make cutouts in the sides for each step, but went the lazy way. Must focus on making stuff for...

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

Some of the planks don't fit all that well between the side boards. No matter how precisely I've tried to have everything measured and straight and accurate, it's not. However, it works fine, so I'm...

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

Almost done! One narrow upper plank will be added yet, that will be in line with the porch floor.
Then just need to add some banister to one side and our stairs are complete.

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

Thanks, it's not really an issue anymore, as the yurt is already standing and we live in it.
I've also seen some Mongolian khana meanwhile, made of natural sticks, just flattened on two sides. If I...

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

Building a porch, stairs will soon follow.
Once it's complete, I'll pour some concrete into the ground blocks.

Should receive some more furniture in the next week, so we can unpack into it and get rid of the banana box pile.

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

As for book, it could be useful to pick the important stuff from my build and make it into a text file or something. Perhaps it might help some other yurt newbies.

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

Thanks. I really like how it turned up.
Good luck with your fishing, Bob! I haven't been fishing for a long time...lately thought about it, but there isn't much chance around where I live now.

Re: Planning to build a yurt in Czech Republic

I didn't really want the yellow to be so bright, but I kinda like the results in the end. I'll likely paint other furnite with the same color as I make/renew it.
