So something a little strange has been going on--the last few days that I've tried to access "https://www.yurtforum.com" my web browser will only display an error message saying "This webpage has a redirect loop", Error code: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS This has been from both my personal computer...

During the non-freezing months, my yurt was connected to directly to an outside water faucet/hydrant for water. It was a pain to wash dishes once things froze, though (2 gal bucket of water next to the sink with a ladle for rinsing things). However, I finally got my gravity water system setup...

So winter is coming. I've been heating with electricity & a propane space heater, but that gets expensive. The propane isn't vented, which is not great (I've a CO monitor though, & have measured CO with a Fluke meter--no carbon monoxide produced; don't want to run it overnight though). Wood is...

I recently got a 6 m dia yurt (frame, liner, and outer canvas). The frame was straightforward enough to setup, the liner easy to drap over the frame (not tied to anything...). But I'm having trouble getting the canvas to lie well. The canvas is one piece--the wall section hangs down from the...
