NEED A QUALITY CONTRACTOR?

Our deck & interior work contractor (whom we
LOVED)
enjoyed his work on the yurt and deck, so much, we are including his contact information. If you live in VA/NC, we’d highly recommend his work on your deck, as well as, any interior work.

If you’re farther afield, he is available as a consultant by phone or email - either for your DIY efforts, or if your contractor has questions.

HAPPY YURTING!!!

WHEW!
Now that you’ve finished reading about
OUR
adventures in yurt raising, are you ready to begin yours? I hope that this ebook has helped you in your yurt research and planning, as that was my goal in writing it.

I love hearing about others dreams and experiences, especially when they relate to rebelling from the norm and living in a
yurt-tent-circus-
thingie
. Or straw bale home, or any number of other fun and interesting housing solutions.
