New member's yurt plan

[Bob Rowlands]

Much as I love yurts, I'd go with the cabin. WAAY more solid and way more tradesmen think square rather than round. Just my opinion.

Hi Bob. There is a good possibility that I will go with a cabin. It seems to me that there are two appeals of a yurt to many people: 1) the unique and interesting design, and 2) the price. The unique and interesting design does appeal to me, but I recognize its challenges and limitations. However, it seems those challenges and limitations can be satisfactorily overcome with a little planning and a little money. I will run more numbers, but if I can achieve my goals with a yurt, and the price comes in significantly lower than a similarly-sized cabin, I may still be inclined to go with the yurt. For the moment, however, I am under the impression that -- if you do everything I am planning on doing -- the cost savings of the yurt might not be significant enough to outweigh the benefits of a cabin, and in fact, might not exist, at all.
