Hello everyone!
I have owned a 16ft Pacific Yurt for about 4 years now. It has been mainly used as a warm weather hang out space until this past summer when I discovered a black mold infestation in my home. Since unbeknownst to me I had been living with mold for years, I became very very ill. So as soon as I discovered it I had to vacate my house and the yurt became my residence.
My yurt just has the basic
kit that comes with it and even is lacking the insulated window covers, which at first was fine. I was appreciating the fresh air. But obviously as it has gotten colder, and I am considering living in the yurt full time for at least another year, I am thinking about better
. Specifically, I am considering selling my 16ft and getting a new 20ft with real windows and a better insulation package.
My concern is MOLD. Because my yurt was so drafty, I never had a mold issue. Its very very important that wherever I live can not grow any hidden mold. I am scared of extra insulation doing just that in the yurt. I would like to hear from those who have lived full time in their yurts what their mold experience has been? My source of heat would most likely be a space heater (oil) as I am unsure I can tolerate wood heat yet.
Also, after exposure to mold many folks become super sensitive to all chemicals. Any feedback on the off gassing of a new yurt?
MOLD and Offgassing!
