Catching up on some blogging here, I'm posting the pics of the other week's work. In eight days, we built the structural components of this yurt, washed the coverings, and invented, built and dug the footings... We're all feeling very proud of the achievements so far, and the summer is only just beginning!!
Enjoy!

Many versions of this ring were tried,

8 Day Yurt! |

| Lots of room for an exceptional deck... later. |

Still having some ambition to burn,
I dragged a giant stump fifteen meters to the fire I started with
a gasoline soaked blanket. Yup. Burning slash & crap wood. |
 |
| Getting the coverings in place. |
 |
So it's no palace yet, to be certain. The coverings are hanging to dry here
after we washed them. The 'Murt,' (Men's Yurt) will soon be decked
with Foos-ball and death metal posters. |
