That is exactly why we encased our

insulation

in plastic and taped it all down.

Reinventor, what you are explaining is :You put the yurt up, then the

insulation

, then a layer of plastic that you taped the seams?

Now that we have this problem, hindsight is brilliant. I am thinking we should have put Tyvec on the rafters before any insulation. Also could help to wrap the yurt it in too, before the side wall insulation and canvas. Perhaps when this isn't our primary home, we'll take the canvas off and redo it. But sounds like a big job!

We did open the

dome

a crack yesterday and this morning I don't see the spots on the muslin, so things must have dried a bit.
