Steve from over at Surely Yurts was going camping with his new wife, near where my yurt is located. We got together and he built me a new utility/kitchen like sink for my yurt camp. I don't have any real plumbing up there, but I wanted a sink for doing dishes instead of washing them out of an...

My son and I are going to meet up with Yves from Groovy Yurts to watch a yurt build (hopefully). It will be taking place up near Paul Smiths College which is near Lake Placid, NY. There may be weather/permit issues so we may find ourselves just doing an interview lol. We will see how it goes...

My son and I are up at the yurt camp this weekend, doing firewood and harassing the trout. To my surprise, the black flies are just about gone. A couple weeks ago, you couldn't even breathe without getting a mouthful of them. Mosquitoes are out, but at least repellent and smoke keep them...

So my long quest for an old style wind up ceiling fans has been a bust. I see a lot of diagrams, museum pieces and theory, but no actual product to buy. So I started looking for low power, 12V ceiling fans. What do you all think of this?: Global Electric 42-inch Non-Brush Ceiling Fan for RV...

Okay, I just got back from our weekend. The install went well. We had temps of 20 degrees F and 30 degrees F each night. The first night I set the damper rather high (50%) and I had to reload it about 7 hours later. The next night I set it near 25% and 10 hours later it was still pretty...

Today I trimmed off the excess cement board and then grout the tiles. My shop vac bit the dust, but otherwise, everything went pretty smooth. I think almond was the right choice on the grout. :) Next weekend, we will actually get the new stove installed.

On the second day, I took the old wood stove out and began working on the hearth. This meant I would be "roughing it" that night because the temps were to get down to 28F. I still had other camp duties to do, plus an unscheduled stop to the local hardware store as I brought the wrong thinset...

Well, so much for the soapstone being hard to get out lol. Some fell out when we tipped it sideways, and I left two small fire bricks in there by accident. The one small brick actually broke. No big deal, but should have been more careful. I had other camp duties to attend to (first day...

Now it is time to wheel it in there. First, we laid the hand truck on its wheels, and we tied it off to a stud in side, just in case it should come flying back for any reason. My one son pulled with the rope, my other son pulled the hand truck, and I pushed it up.
