The world is tough, and can be quite cold. Therefore, curl up inside your round house wrapped in wool felt. We've finished all but the last touches on both the yurts, thank goodness. Tourists are falling over themselves to come and stay inside. Along with the general assembly I had the opportunity to assemble all the furniture. The nice thing about the two little beds is the far side curves to fit the shape of the wall.
Bones aligned, the skeleton came together. The margin for error was frustratingly narrow, but with determination we pieced the ensemble. Once we added the other layers, the weight prevented the bedeviling shifting.
We were threatened several times by storm clouds, but in general the weather was kind to us.
These walls of wool felt were nearly an inch thick, but surprisingly fragile. In laying on the individual pieces we used great caution to grab no less than a double layer after learning our lesson by tearing off several fist sized pieces.
All the previous photos were of the orange yurt, but I find the red more attractive. With a base fabric, the felt, a waterproof layer, and the final canvas, the entire structure settled reassuringly. Now that these are done, we'll be moving on to the tipis.
That looks amazing!
