Starting My Yurt Life on Orcas Island, WA

[OrcasGuy]

We've continued to decorate and refine out yurt interior through the summer/fall, so I thought I would post some pics. Additionally, we've had the large alder tree hanging over our yurt taken down because it was cracking an posed a hazard.
As far as improvements:
1) Lighting: We've hung some small solar lights from the ceiling that have individual small panels that power each string. These were purchase from IKEA and have worked out pretty well providing some good ambient light at night time
2) Storage: We purchased some cheaper hammocks to store stuff above the kitchen area and to get stuff off of the walls.
3) Marine toilet - Our neighbors up the road (former yurt-ites as they call themselves) offered us their chemical marine toilet. This has worked out well for longer weekends...but we typically have tried to limit its use to night time and numero uno only. ..as anything else in there is a little difficult to clean out of the holding tank.
4) Propane stove - We are currently using a tailgating style propane stove inside the yurt for cooking. When we cook we open the

dome

AND we roll up the window next to the stove to make sure we don;t have any CO issues.

Still have work to do on the steps and maybe a little platform for some adirondack chairs. Got to save something for next spring/summer

Enjoy the pics
