[TheForge] Chuck Robinson's yurt shop

[Stephen Viola]

Hi Andy,
Do you have any pictures of your Yurt?
On our new property we are looking to construct 4 yurts joined with
annexes and covered walkways. We have selected out supplier of yurt
frames etc.. but we are still undecided regarding the whole straw bale
issue. I would love to see what you have managed to construct if you
dont mind!
