A Man's Home Is His Castle. Or is it?
Yurts.
AbbyNormal wrote about them. Yurts. What are they? Awe, now ya went and Yurt my feelin's. They originate from ancient nomadic tribes and rather than explain it to you in depth -
click me - to read more about them.
Over the yurts have been built with various materials. From sod grass walls to saplings to tent like structures supported by light weight wood strips fastened together in an accordion fashion and covered with modern insulated blankets. You can live in em but you cant make music with them. Go figure.
I have always - well, not always, because always wouldn't be right. After all I never heard of Yurts till about 15 years ago. Well - thats not quite right either because on hind-sight I think I read about them in school books many eons ago but probably didn't pay it much mind till about 15 years ago or so.
So anyways - I almost always thought about building a yurt. Can a man build one all by himself without giving himself a hernia? I hear its been done. Fact is I read about a man who built a log cabin by himself. Even saw the video. It was remarkable. Takes thinking things out in advance though. It really does. Welp - looks like I'm out of luck then. I don't know what I'm going to do or even write about from one moment to the next. I like to make it up as I go along.
Actually I don't like to make it up as I go along. Its what happens in between the action and inaction that I fond most rewarding. What does that mean, you asked??? How should I know. I'm making this up as I go along. Obviously you're memory is impaired. But thats okay. I like mentally challenged people. Birds of a feather ya know. <wink-wink>

A well-built yurt is a comfy tent indeed!
I heard of a WOMAN that pretty much built herself a yurt. Doesn't really count, though, because she lives in like Arizona or someplace that never gets cold.
I think you should build one and videotape the whole process! I'll watch AND sign the guestbook. |

Never been in a Yurt so I can't help ya, Daveman. Personally, I prefer solid walls, air conditioning and running water.
