I've always loved the outdoors and embrace the mentality of "Always a Student" while connecting people to the outdoors with new levels of confidence. As an affiliate and apprentice instructor for The Gray Bearded Green Beret, I can be found across the US learning & refining skills while helping others do the same. I run Cedar Survival locally and I'm active in my local Search & Rescue organization in the Pacific Northwest's unforgiving climate and terrain. After about 7 years in rescue work , I mostly specialize in rope rescue and swift water/canyon rescue. If it's a mission or training involving vertical terrain, the need for rope, water falls, rivers or jumping out of perfectly good watercraft (or all of those things combined) you'll likely find me there sporting a large grin. We are always looking to improve and expand our class offerings while staying focused on student experience and success. "Empowering you to rely less on equipment and more on nature and self." -Chad
Looks OK but ; too close to the surrounding trees , that will probably cause problems in the future for sure . Would not be gone on the roofing material !
Great question. There are 2 cables running around the perimeter of the walls. One is at the top and another about a foot below that. Both have turnbuckles for tightening.
I'm looking at affordable land in Arizona - I can build something up to 600sq ft only. I'd love to have a wood yurt. Oregonian here, but land is not in my price range.
Cutting at least 72 sheets of plywood into triangles at 125 bucks a sheet and then also cutting angles into both sides of every course of underlayment and the shingles plus adding hips at every vertical joint doesnt sound easier to me. Or cheaper.
Did this require a building permit? Did you have a Contractor? I'm also in the PNW and am interested in this type of yurt. I think I read on their website that is considered an actual dwelling and goes through the same steps as a stick built. I am looking for off grid and vacation type and not a permanent dwelling so I'm not sure why you have to go through the permit and inspection process for these?
No and no, but you'll have to verify with your local codes. Counties can vary in their requirements, but generally, if it's under 400 square feet with no electrical or plumbing you don't need permits. There are lots of other little rules in some areas though. Best of luck!
Insulation is installed after the exterior is complete and dried in. It's also unnecessary with the wood stove burning, but will reduce the amount of fuel needed to maintain a decent temperature.
@@chadhenry5128 Where does the insulation go? The inside appears to be interior ready, with shelves etc, and the outside is to the outer edge of the foundation, so no additional walling there.
@@isabellajones8535 it will go on the interior walls just like any standard home construction. They're currently bare with no shelving or anything else.
Really enjoying your intros and music! Cool locks. If you need a key made for that Master #7 the code on the bottom will enable a locksmith to look up the bitting.
