Re: Nomad Shelter Yurts
A couple of years since my question about insulation and two years living with 6" of insulation in the walls and ceiling. The ceiling was a bear to do.
The walls are exterior, interior company insulation-reflectix- the 6" of Roxul between 2x4's 24oc.
Moisture is a problem but not bad.
This year I will put in a moisture barrier and possibly a "real" roof.
Minus 30, with year round living (showers, laundry etc) you need consistent ventilation.
The other critical issue I found is fresh air. I was having trouble with health issues this year and it was proposed that I needed more fresh air circulating.
I opened my doors daily for twenty minutes (drastic measure) and some of the critical fatigue issues went away!
Working on a different plan for this next winter
