So much easier to read!!! thanks for the fix, and do please keep us updated on the yurt living.
Couple questions for you: How's the greywater system working out? any idea how much water you're using per day? and where's the water coming from?
I'd love to see some building info also, specifically the roof ring. I'm down in Denver, may be next time I'm up your way I can come check it out....sorry to ramble, all jacked up on coffee :)
The graywater system is working wonderfully. No issues or maintenance required so far. My maximum estimated water usage is somewhere around 15 gals per day, including drinking, bathing, and cooking water. I have to haul in my water(this involves a 50-gallon drum in the back of my Subaru), which is part of the reason I use so little.
I will eventually publish full plans and drawings for the yurt and build instructions in the near future. Next time you're in town give me a call via the call widget on the right and I'll give you a tour. :)
I'm a kitchen and bathroom remodeler/ handyman in Fort Collins, CO. A couple years back, I built and lived in a yurt. It was made entirely of recycled materials. It was glorious. After nearly three years, and with great reluctance, I packed up the yurt and reintegrated into "civilized" society.
These days I'm mostly working and educating myself about alternative homebuilding. I'm passionate about sustainable living, energy independence, and good beer.
