Heidi~
Thanks for sharing the pics. That is the most INCREDIBLE place I have ever
seen!!
I love your "yurt". What is a yurt? Where/how did you learn about this?
You have a beautiful place...I'm in awe!

Hey, Thanks! I'm pretty smitten with it myself. Does it show? (grin)
Would you believe I found them, from "googling" on Yurts back in
November? (gotta love that google!) I think there was a newspaper article
about a resort in Hawaii or Montana that uses them, heard they could get
put up in a day (unless you're a member of the Dykema family) and was
hooked... They're originally from Mongolia (and look quite a bit different
with their original felted walls and long belly straps.)
Check out:

and

There's an unschooler family who used to live in a yurt full-time, but I
think they're on another list.

Cordwood and Strawbale are my next building goals...well, after the deck
and bathroom anyway. Some 'facilities' would be really, really nice!
