In Which We Ponder The Question, "WTF Is a Yurt Anyway?"

Three years ago we built our second yurt and it became our bedroom. It's totally cool and roundy inside, as I will show you later. But I have recently been asked the age old question, "WTF is a yurt?" What's that you say, Mojo, sir? Blog fodder?! Just what I needed. Hurray.

What The Fuck Is a Yurt by Susie

Just let me say, that erecting a yurt on a hillside, and then sleeping comfortably in there, now that has to be a challenge. Now I could go on and on about Mongolian yurts, gerts, gers or whatever you wanna call them, but you can learn more about those over at Wiki.

So if after those visuals you now know what a yurt is, and have work to do, you can go on!

Otherwise, I'm gonna keep going on about my yurt, OK?

Ya gotta get it right otherwise yer yurts gonna be crooked!

Don't let anyone ever tell ya you can't make a yurt, because dad gummit, ya can!

You can see yurt number one cum workshop cum storage outbuildin'in the background there. (haha Mona, that word always cracks me up!)

This picture gives you a pretty good idea of how I have to run across that deck (which I also built, thank you) in the middle of the night, through rain, snow, sleet, and skunk spray to get to the bathroom which thank fully is in the house. OK wait, now that I have my glasses on, I see that the deck hasnt been built yet, but you can see it in the last picture. Yes, I said skunk spray. Now that's another story but let me just sidetrack and say that last week OUR skunk (grrrr!) sprayed Oaty and then I picked her up...(ooh more blog fodder!)

We invited some friends over to "see our new yurt." Always make sure you invite friends that know how to make stuff, and share well. Just saying.
As you can see, it worked. The help has arrived just in time! So now let's jump to the finished product! Ta Da!

Now believe it or not, this post took me over an hour, so Mojo, you are gonna have to wait for part two, the inside of the yurt. That will give me more time to collect/edit "the bedroom" pictures. But I will tell you that a friend of ours once remarked that our yurt looked "just like the inside of an i dream of genie bottle!" Sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it? Stay tuned.

Have a lovely day!
