Yurt and Garage - Conjoined at birth

[Bob Rowlands]

I'm really starting to get the impression from posts I've read here over the last several months that a tightly built and insulated yurt isn't the best dwelling choice in a humid climate. I live in dry Colorado where there is generally less than 10 percent humidity. Also, Mongolia is very dry. Just tossin this in here. Good luck.

I've been catching that drift as well, which is why I'm all about seeking as much info as I can before we build it. I didn't really intend to make ours tightly built and insulated though. I think if it doesn't work in the traditional sense then we should look at other options.

We could certainly do something like a Smiling Woods Yurt but that will be more like a house as far as

insulation

goes, than a skeleton with a cloth covering over it.
