Choosing Floor Insulation

[Zelig]

Jay, what size and make of yurt do you have and what sort of wall and/or ceiling

insulation

?

[hierony]

Jay--did you really use hay bales? Mice would love the hay (seeds, green tasty legumes/grasses and all) much more than just straw (dry grass stalks). A search or two around also suggests if the straw isn't stacked tight together, mice like to borrow into it a lot more.

From your experience, it does sound like any floor

insulation

makes a world of difference! I'm a little surprised more yurt places don't put more emphasis on better insulation (floor & walls).
