What are you going to do with the Yurt when the house is built?
Why build a normal house? Why not build an adjoining yurt to expand the
space? Did you build the cona/wall structure yourself or did you buy it?
Sorry for all the questions. My wife and I are looking to move to Hawaii
and eventually purchase some land and build a yurt.
I always see how yurts are great in the winter time, but what about in more
warmer climates? Seems like an AC would be fine, just need the batteries
like you would say an off grid cabin right?
I am looking into the tiny house as a housing option for my family of 4. My
niece actually was the one who brought up the idea of a yurt to me. Sounds
like my 10 year old niece had a great idea!! :p I really like your video
thank you for telling us about the structural as well as the living aspects
of a yurt.
I scratch built a 16′ camping yurt. I’m a carpenter and found it very easy
to build. Plus it was maybe $600 in materials including the cover. A lot of
work perhaps 9 full days total. The plan I used was online. Google: Clan
Yama Kaminari Yurt Scroll down the front page and click on yurt build.
Because I am a carpenter I modified the yurt ring to make it somewhat
stronger. That plan could be expanded to make a 6 meter yurt like in this
video. Some scaling up of the parts in size would be a good idea. My
grandkids love the yurt. I now have it sitting on a low round platform that
was about $700, plus labor. This was about three years ago. Yurts are
amazingly strong and tough. Way better than any wall tent.
Does your husband have a twin brother ?
Yea, I’d live in a yurt.
Easily with the great team work you couple have.
Bless you and your family.
xox
Enjoyed your video. Thank you!
is she 20 years younger than him? How did he pull such a hotty?
I think Yurts are awesome. I live in an 18 foot trailer, overlooking a
beautiful valley in Silverado, Ca. This would be a beautiful place for a
Yurt. Great video guys!
Sadie is adorable 😆
Personally I’d say if I had the money and maybe even the help then i’d do
it. You can still work a job and earn money if you want things. Solar
panels and such, but the point is that it wouldn’t be as stressful if you
lost it. Especially if you own the land you’re living off of.
And for me that’s the goal. Live a mostly stress free life the way I want.
The less bills the better.
I have lived in my 24 foot yurt for 8 years, it has worked for me. I heat
with a wood stove and have the same kind of insulation. I find that I am
very comfortable in winter and summer. I would like a house of some sort,
but financially it is not an option at this point. I feel after eight years
that I made the right decision in buying a yurt.
Every morning I wake up and look straight out to the sky through my
skylight which is 4.5 feet wide, and I listen to the birds. I really cannot
think of a better way to start the day.
OMG! That little one is really just too adorable!
I’m so jealous…I would love to live like this….now to convince hubby.
:)
o my gosh sweety your adorable
Could a yurt be used in a windy and cold climate such as Idaho with snow
No i couldn’t live in a yurt.
cool…nice folks…a blessing
I am impressed that you have been able to make the yurt work for over 3
years.
My family and I are preparing to buy our own land soon and plan to build
our house ourselves as funds are available.
So we are looking into what options are available for affordable short term
shelter for a family of 4 (with 2 teenagers).
Not sure a yurt would work for us or at least not a single yurt, remember
teenagers, but it does look like it has its pros.
Thank you for your videos. :)
We live in a yurt on a farm in NZ with our two kids – wouldn’t change it
for the world! Just posted a video on my channel of building our little
yurt. 😀 Thanks for sharing your life!
Have you had problems with permits, ordinances, CPS or the “law”?
I think most municipalities consider this camping and year round camping,
especially with children, is frowned upon – some counties even limit the
number of days you can camp on your own land.
aight mom and dad… be quiet and go away, let the kid do all the talking
much respect, parenting done right
Thanks for sharing.
are you keeping the yurt after the house is completed?
A couple of state parks in Florida offer yurts as lodging, but that is only
for a day or two, not a year or more…lol!
Did you stain the lattice of the yurt ? I am trying to build mine out of
all reclaimed materials and natural stains … but I don’t really want to
stain it 🙂 So far its just rips of untreated lumber ( 2×4 )
Awesome. Thank you for your quick reply, as I’m literally sanding the
pieces atm 🙂 cheers.
The lattice work doesn’t seem like it would be strong enough to support the
roof, let alone all the things you have hanging on it (but engineering was
never my thing). Thank you for the tour and the article!
Why not put a hole in the floor?like a forced air heat grill. And it would
be easy to block for winter.
This is amazing !!!
Thanks for sharing this video !!!
Can I ask you some question about the yurts???
😉 peace carlo
Very impressive, the two of you have some amazing building and design
skills. I think I could live in the yurt by myself or with one …carefully
chosen… other person. Being one of five in that space would certainly
drive me out of my mind. Obviously you as a group have the right psychology
to make it work. Congrats.
Does a yurt get taxed like a home?
This is actually a really useful information. Hey Youtube, let’s make this
channel famous like CrazyRussianHacker or Roman Atwood!
Very cool. I lived in one in Mongolia for about 3 months when i was over
there in 85. They were very original used sheep skins as the cover an grass
as insulation. thanks for sharing.
A vinyl shop? Never saw one in my life.
Can you talk about the square footage of your yurt and how expensive the
platform was?
That girlie girlie
She is 2 cute. Her voice just makes my heart feel toaster and warm. SOOO
HAPPY☮
