A big pine tree came down on their property in April I think it was so there is a natural place for a yurt. It would be a little walk but I just might be able to pull it off!barmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678534461620555428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11658057.post-85419185895504911922008-10-03T11:33:00.000-07:002008-10-03T11:33:00.000-07:00Hey toots!

As for snow and wind, they have special roof supports, tie downs for radical weather, but yes, with a wood stove, you could probably live in a yurt in the winter as long as you weren't hit by an avalanche or a huge tree fell on you.....<BR/><BR/>I dont know about a yurt in Pennsylvania. Your neighbors already think you're wierd! :PShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706844568750488890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11658057.post-72286933579864247792008-10-03T06:38:00.000-07:002008-10-03T06:38:00.000-07:00i knew what a yurt was but it is very cool to actu...i knew what a yurt was but it is very cool to actually see yours. i am curious how much a yurt costs and how easy it is to make it weather tight. also did you run electricity to it and do you need to heat it? i dunno how cold it gets where you live. inquiring minds want to know.<BR/><BR/>i mean i know it gets damn cold in mongolia so there must be a way to keep it all toasty...aside from inviting livestock inside to cuddle up to.limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11658057.post-90247284085721678322008-10-03T06:36:00.000-07:002008-10-03T06:36:00.000-07:00that is very nice Susie, I can't wait to see the i...that is very nice Susie, I can't wait to see the inside.Breazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674200910146493711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11658057.post-49416079345503582722008-10-02T23:14:00.000-07:002008-10-02T23:14:00.000-07:00There's a place in...
