Re: New, modern yurt build in Mongolia

I rebuilt my 12'6" d. yurt this fall. I added a second door opposite the front. That's ended up being super nice. In case of fire two exits beats one.

My wife and I lived in an apartment back in the 80-82 period in WY that had a non airtight Franklin stove in it. It also went through the wood pretty darn fast, but not as fast as an open fireplace....

Re: New, modern yurt build in Mongolia

My small 'fireplace insert' size (~1.5 cu ft) air tight 1980s era Sierra Cricket wood stove I used in my yurt would burn about 1.5 hours damped down. Doors...

Re: New, modern yurt build in Mongolia

Window quilt doesn't do curves. Have you considered velcro? How about magnetic strip tape?

Re: New, modern yurt build in Mongolia

Well how about that. I just looked at the 'Window Quilt' online site. Amazingly the quilt itself hasn't changed in 40 years. To me that's a strong testament of just how good it is. Their boilerplate...

Re: New, modern yurt build in Mongolia

Yup, if you can't use your hands you're done. 55 gallon burn barrel with air holes around the base works OK. I've warmed myself up by one at the gun range a few times.

Real good job on the barn door track U.K. I've installed a few barn doors. Never assembled and fabricated one from scratch. I am impressed by that.

"..it's the simple things that I took for granted which now seem like luxuries." That's the absolute truth right there.

Re: New, modern yurt build in Mongolia

Good job UK. Way to go.

This has zip to do with yurts. It's about fortitude, toughness, applying yourself, giving it everything you have. How you face adversity.

Excellent as usual. Thanks.

Side note. It took me 365 days to build our house. March 30 1999 to March 30 2000. I was 45 when I started. Without any doubt 'THE' toughest year of my life. I had to...

Re: New, modern yurt build in Mongolia

Cool! Enjoy your work!

Container is about as good as it gets on site. Yup ripoffs suck. I've had my share over the decades. Theft is rampant. Theft is as old as mankind.
