OMG YOU HAVE A YURT? WHATS IT LIKE? I WANT A TINY HOUSE/YURT SO MUCH
I can’t actually use Tumblr for shit, so I can’t link it for you, it won’t tell me what the URL is (it does that thing where it pops up the page in half of the window and doesn’t give you an address bar, because Tumblr is a fucking garbage fire hellsite) but if you go to my blog page and click on the little magnifying glass thing and search for “yurtlife” it comes up with my posts about the yurt. it doesn’t show you all of them, because of course it doesn’t, because Tumblr is like a bag of shit that’s been set on fire and left on the porch when it comes to usability, but there’s some stuff in there anyway.
Mine’s only a 12-footer; a friend made it, and i paid him like… six hundred and something bucks for it. Walls are canvas, roof is a canvas tarp, lattice is made of lath, roof ring is layered plywood cut out and screwed into place. His innovation is that the upper support band is made of steel rope instead of something that’ll stretch, and it’s been very sturdy. He’s made a lot of yurts.
I don’t properly live in it, though, I only use it as a bedroom. There’s a composting toilet outside nearby, and then I eat and shower and cook and do laundry etc. indoors in the main house.
I’m currently trying to winterize it so I can leave it up through November.
