Propane and Woodstone inside Yurt

[Bob Rowlands]

Well you certainly have a nice place to build the yurt. Having amenities close by is really nice. Have fun and good luck.

Hi Jafo,

Steve and I finalized the Yurt build today. Additionally we met with the Septic Contractor as well. Build will start in early May. I will pm you at the beginning of May so you can come up at the start of the build. From what Steve tells me we are right up the road from you..

Brantingham is not far from me at all if that is where you are. Let me know when you guys get ready!

I was drawn to yurts through their success in Mongolias winters. I still am. Other then small bottles of propane I am leary of any propane in any tent. At the same time over a lifetime of wood stove experience I am comfortable with wood stoves, all of which makes me comfortable with

Groovy Yurts

. Mostly because of the origins on their products. That said, I would want the max amount of

insulation

of any companys yurts, and add to it. I am still hoping to visit Mongolia, hoping for this years Naadam Festival. I haven't put up a yurt yet, no permanent site, I keep looking at a nomadic life style, I'm an Irish Traveler origins. The O'Levis.

So, a lot of T's to dot and I's to cross.

This site is a great resource, a LOT of excellent food for thought here.

Do your homework folks, Yafo and Bob got their acts together, if they advise against something pay it heed !

Thanks I plan to lean heavily on the Forum's experience, and particularly Jafo's. I also have been working with Steve from

Surely Yurts

- who will be building the Yurt. While our experience is just getting started, I am very pleased with the advise and suggestions I am getting from Steve. My wife and I are both excited about this project and hope to have Jafo document some of the project build for the Forum as it gets started in the Spring. We just happen to be in his backyard so to speak.

Thanks Jake.

You have been the source of a lot of excellent advice Bob, you guys are the first ones anybody should look to for advice.

When I find the right site your ideas for sure will be incorporated . It'll either be northern MI, or western NY, leaning heavily to here just because of a new grand daughter here. We could have a LOT of fun in the woods here.

My keep me out of bars past time is making bows, primitive American and Mongol composite bows. So I see a ~24' for me and my critters and ~ a 15' adjoining for a shop.

Another plus for here is an excellent VA clinic.

I need to stay away from whisky bro. One day at a time.

[Jake]

Its hard to take more then one day at a time. Hard enough to do a good job with the one at hand.

I have a bottle of Jamesons in the cupboard that waits for a shot of it for the next president.
