Some days may be 24/7, but most shouldn't. I'm in school and will be rehabbing an old house on the property. The intention is to live in the hexayurt while fixing up a couple of rooms in the house.
I like the idea of the taller yurt for ease of entry, but the basic low profile suits me better I think. Less issues with wind (I'm in the mountains) and less air to heat. A more serious door is a definite, though. I was thinking of a sandwich of plywood and foam and framing out the opening to use real hinges. I also may put in two doors opposite each other...the idea of a fire blocking exit from this thing scares the crap out of me. I like the LED light idea...also considering the pop bottle "lights" for daytime. Thanks! On Friday, January 11, 2013 11:05:30 AM UTC-5, RichShumaker wrote: > > Sounds like it will work well.
