Ok, I am not a big company, and I am spread a little thin at the moment, but I am still here.
Australia is my next big push, and I think yurts are a natural for New Zealand. My Kiwi friends here are telling me the government estimates it will 5 years before things will be rebuilt and normal after the earthquakes. But I am getting ahead of myself.

Things are a little shaky at the moment, not business wise, but getting things landed is being a little difficult. Maybe someone here can give me a suggestion?
The gal who was receiving for me in Seattle is getting a divorce, and I am not getting answers from her when I email her, but I am honest, and I won't lie to anyone about what is going on from my end. Know a good honest person who lives around Seattle or Tacoma that has a good dry garage and can hire a U-haul with at tail gate lift and a pallet jack a few times a year?
My home is in Montana, but I am currently living in China, near Hong Kong and Macau. It is weird and crazy, and wonderful and the most frustrating place I have ever lived, but things are happening here. Unfortunately I can't be on both sides of the Pacific at once, and selling yurts is not how I earn my primary living.
Have a look at my website, and feel free to ask any questions you can come up with. I will answer to the best of my ability, and I will tell you if I don't really know.
I have gotten really excited lately when I started investigating LED lights. They are a natural for yurts and I am currently engineering a set-up that would make them a cinch to install using low voltage wiring (12V) for off grid, or using a 120V transformer and having the rest of the wiring still run at 12V. I am hoping to have this all worked out before spring "yurt" season.
I am not talking about little mood lights, though they are available, but nice, bright, white or yellow lights that are great for reading and food preparation or what ever other work space or casual lighting you might need. I use them here in my apartment, and bounce a 4 watt 12V off the (10 foot) ceiling for sitting around the house, and read using a 7 watt in the same manner.
I am excited about it. Maybe I am just a miser, but when I think about the 3 - 75 watt bulbs that I used to be burning in my living room before I started playing with these, I am just aghast. I could use the LED for more than 30 hours and use the same wattage?
That can't be good, and electricity DOUBLED in price here last spring. Luckily I am not a big user.
I am not sure how this works, or if I am stepping out of bounds, but I am counting on Mr. Moderator to straighten me out if I am in the wrong by writing here.
