    Wintergreen282 liked post by HawaiiYurts On thread : Colorado Yurts Now Using Velcro as Roof to Wall Connection
    Yes, they didn't change it until recently but not sure exactly when as they didn't announce it. We had clients around April of this past year that got the lacing system as standard. Hoping that...

    Wintergreen282 liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : Heat Storage Idea
    I love the "Cold floor put on slippers." comment. Start with obvious, easy and cheap solution. If that doesn't work you can try another route. Frequently easy and cheap and obvious ends up being...

    Wintergreen282 liked post by froit1 On thread : Yurt vapor barriers to combat mould
    I also built a near-Passive House in the meantime, so I look at these problems with a more educated eye. Venting will help, but it is near-impossible to totally vent the bottom side of the walls,...

    Sealing the whole thing in PVC will make is worse. Get rid of the PVC roof, cover the whole thing in vapor-open home-wrap, and then add a nice outer cover which is both breathing and leaking. Pure...

    Wintergreen282 liked post by HawaiiYurts On thread : Best Jurisdictions for Yurt/Off Grid Living
    I'd probably check with some of the yurt companies on the East Coast. Maybe the ladies at Blue Ridge Yurts? Many counties just don't know what a yurt IS or they've heard a bunch of...

    Not aiming to be harsh, please hear me out - You tried to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes that works out well but many times it doesn't, especially in an area where you've had multiple companies for...

    Wintergreen282 liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : Rigid Foam insulation and Drywall
    OK, all of the following is my opinion, and is off yurts in general. I'd leave a professional yurt 'as is'. I wouldn't invest in any of my unproven 'trial and error' ideas on a standard yurt I...

    Wintergreen282 liked post by thebitmaster On thread : Billboard or other Vinyl roof cover
    I've lived in a 12' homebuilt yurt covered with recycled billboard vinyl for about 5 years. I vaguely recall a little of that smell initially, but one advantage of recycled is that it's sat outside...

    Wintergreen282 liked post by Pacific Yurts On thread : Billboard or other Vinyl roof cover
    There are many different types and qualities of vinyl fabrics. Cheap vinyls are typically not stable materials and release toxins (much like cheap shower curtains) under normal use. I suspect the...

    4 weeks of complete lockdown in NZ, but nothing much has changed, we still live in the bush, off grid and away from civilization. Kids are sad we can't go to beach, park and other social activities....
