| Living in a Yurt I wasn't sure where to put this so this will have to do. Yurts have low impact on the earth and are considered "green" living I was looking at what it would take to set up a yurt to live in. A yurt is a round structure with lattice walls and a fabric membrane, there is plenty of good information out there if you don't know what they are. Does anyone know of the local permitting for one, the deck that it sits on would be a permanent structure, but the yurt itself would be non-permanent. I was wondering if anybody around here has stayed in one, would consider living in one, with running water and electricity of course and if anyone knows of a yurt nearby to look at. Any thoughts would be appreciated |

| What about when I start dating, and bring home some guy who wants to take me away to Burma and live in a yurt?? (I didn't realize a yurt was a real thing - I thought they made it up.  ) |

 Can you imagine living in a place like this? May as well be living in a paper bag.

I hate to admit it, but I learned what a yurt was from Bob the Builder. | |

| I think yurts are awesome!!!  I've often thought it would be cool to live in one if we ever built a house....as long as it wasn't winter.
