Re: My quick intro

For a bright interior, install a light colored liner first. Felt second. Outside cover last.

My yurts only had a cover, no liner, no insulation. The cover snapped and popped in heavy wind to where...

Re: My quick intro

I primed and painted my wall and rafters and yurt door with Rustoleum oil enamel. That's one heavy duty finish that withstands the yurt cover snapping in the wind on rafters and laths. Door and it's...

Re: My quick intro

Nicely done. That lath looks great! You're gonna have one tough wall. I suggest you coat it with poly, oil or, as I did, paint it with oil base Rustoleum.
