    I'm in Northern Ontario and have lived in a 22ft Groovy Yurt for 6 years. We average 4.5-5 bush cords per winter. 70% of that is spruce, 20% poplar and 10% birch. There is a very noticeable...

    We're in the middle of our 4th winter in our Groovy Yurt and we can't imagine ever living in a "normal" house ever again. We consistently go through about 4.5 bush cords of firewood per year--90% of...

    We're in a 22ft Groovy Yurt with double felt and an 8inch Styrofoam floor directly on the ground. -42C/-44F this morning and still 24-26C inside.

    Thanks, Yves. Connecting the yurt and greenhouse may be a challenge with frost heaving, so I think I'd prefer the brief exposure to the elements between structures. Rather than connecting...

    This is our first winter in our 22ft Groovy Yurt and so far it's been fantastic. We've had some issues with moisture but seem to have fixed that by pre-drying all of our firewood in our sauna. We're...

    We went with a double layer of felt that adds up to about one inch total thickness. We are roasty-toasty cozy even down to -35c but at warmer temps (anything warmer than -10c) we have to ventilate....

    Yes, we did. We have two layers (1") of felt, house wrap, then untreated canvas. I don't think the vapour is getting to the house wrap before condensing and freezing. I actually wonder if we'd have...
