Future Plans

[Roofio]

Ive a long term goal to obtain land and build a yurt to live in full time with my girlfriend who is very into the idea. The biggest problem im seeing right now besides having money is getting the land. Would love advice on that.
As for the yurt, ive no intention of buying a kit from a company. From what ive seen i can get a 20' yurt built for no more then 1,000 to 1,500 dollars tops. I plan to use bamboo for the roof poles and lattice wall, got the idea from this guy from europe who has a site called simplydifferently.org where he even has a program set up in the site for calculating what seems to be everything one needs to build a yurt though he uses metric in it, but converting isnt hard. I would love any advice or tips any of you may have.
Im real big on camping and what not and have done mostly that for the last few years in california and virginia. Currently im in jobcorps training in carpentry. This site seems pretty cool and i hope this is the right section for this post.
