Yurt Progress and To-Do List
This is a list, so if anyone happens to have anything we need laying around, they can help out the unit, or if anyone wants to help with the labor we have left to finish, they can voulenteer here. I'm hoping to have two yurts built by rag, which is currently not out of the realm of possibility.
If you want to camp in a Yurt at Rag, be an active member and donate time/materials to building the Yurt, whoever donates the most time gets preference over those who don't.
To-Build:
--------
1 Latice Wall
2 Crowns
20 Roof Posts (some of these need to get cut, some of them just need a notch)
Materials Needed:
--------
A Lot of Thick Rope (depending on how thick we need anywhere between 24 to 72 feet for each belly band, and we need two belly bands. I will be getting an accurate measurement of how much rope we need later this week)
A Gang of Gromets (To attach the roof and wall coverings)
Ceiling Posts (We have 12. We need 20.)

Re: Yurt Progress and To-Do List
Doors are begun and will be finished tomorrow. Well, usable in a yurt finished. I'm taking the "I built it" perogative and will carve into and hopefully paint one of the frame posts. Results to be seen at Pre-Rag on Saturday.

Re: Yurt Progress and To-Do List
Make sure you get a couple of spray cans of weatherproofing for the canvas, also you might wanna get a paint can or 2 of weatherproof for the latticework.

Re: Yurt Progress and To-Do List
WEatherproofing canvas makes it less water-proof.
Canvas is naturally water-proof through surface tension with the water. When canvas gets wet the fibers absorb the the water and expand, pushing together tightly. The water trapped in the fibers works with surface tension to create a mostly water-proof surface. Canvas covers keep things under them drier than most modern high-tech covers and when it comes to tents (or yurts) only the heaviest rains will get water in (which will happen with most commercially available tents) and that will only be a light misting when rain drops hit.

Re: Yurt Progress and To-Do List
We will for sure have a Yurt at Rag. We may have a second, but I can't do it alone, so if anyone in the unit wants to camp in a Yurt, I'd be happy to build it with you.

Re: Yurt Progress and To-Do List
We'd have to dig the stuff back out and take a look. Good news is the unit has 0 funds invested so far and I can't find my receipts.

Re: Yurt Progress and To-Do List
we need a new roof design, because the one we had is !@#$. after we get a better roof design, we need to build it. we also need to grommet the canvas so we can attach it easier.
