    I have not done a floating floor, but I would NOT put the floor under the lattice. There is a lot of weight to consider there and the floor needs to expand and contract. It will not be able to do...

    If you keep your batteries charged at 100%, then even the coldest temps should not bother them. The mistake I see people make is they go to their weekend cabin, run the batteries down to 50% and...

    As I mentioned before (http://www.yurtforum.com/forums/building-a-yurt-f3/will-be-building-a-second-yurt-630.html), I will be adding a shower yurt late this summer. It will be powered by a 12v RV...

    Not sure why you believe that. I have my camping yurt up in the Adirondacks here in Herkimer County NY where it regularly falls to -30+ in the winter time and cold has never been an issue with my...

    I used to insulate insulated trailer skirts in nw Wyoming. That made a !!HUGE!! difference in the floor staying warm and keeping the plumbing from freezing when it got seriously cold.

    2x4s huh? That's good. Why? You can easily cut this blocking on edge in two passes with your full size Skilsaw. Cut one edge transfer marks and then finish the cut on the other edge. You can't do...
