YURT RAISING!

Cant begin to say how beautifully crafted this yurt is.. thanks Tim.
had a huge beam on my face for a couple of weeks now...the yurt is fantastic. Was surprisingly easy to erect,pulling the roof canvas was a bit of a struggle as it was so heavy, but i did request heavy duty canvas for the roof !
It hasnt stopped raining since it arrived home with us, but its so cozy inside it doesnt matter. There's this beautiful glow inside, even when its overcast and grey outside.
The other night it was put to the test, with freak storms and floods and hail stones the size of a two pound coin! No leaking, though the sound of the hail bouncing off the roof poles was a bit hairy... sounded just like fire crackers going off inside.
Got the essentals inside now.. bed, rugs, gas camping stove. Think if this weather doesnt improve may need to get a wriggle on with connecting the woodburner.

picys of inside to come soon...
