Photos to Accompany the finished yurt

Alex working hard in our living room to cut
the panels out of the plexiglass for the
sky light

Putting the skylight together.  There are 5 panels
4 panels of plexiglass and one that is sheet
metal that the stove pipe will go through.

Cutting some sheet metal into a circle to cover the very top
of the skylight

Alex's sheet metal cutting tools. 

A test fit for the stove pipe. 
It looks kind of massive sitting here on my floor
but it isn't really so weird. 

The stove, kind of ugly but free and delivered straight to the
yurts front door via the mighty mahindra tractor,
of course that was after Alex dug the stove out of a rather
large snow pile

A view from the inside with the skylight
 and stove pipe in place

The outside.  Alex nicely cleared that path on the
roof by dragging the skylight up the front there.
Very effective for clearing the snow off.
Oh and there is a Jasper in this picture
for a size comparison

Close up of the skylight and stove pipe

A view of the yurt in the distance.  It would be cooler
if the yurt was sitting on the rocks I sweated to
move into place further in the woods but whatever

The yurt survived its first ice storm.  Unfortunately
I don't think this will be the last ice storm it sees
this winter. 

The door being put together in the green house

A view if the inside of the door

The outside of the completed door

Propped up against the yurt waiting for installation.  The
brackets have already been put onto the side of the yurt

The inside with the door attached.  The yurt gets a lot of natural sunlight
it is pretty awesome. 

Awww isn't it cute. 

The stove in the center.  Obviously it hasn't been
lit yet since the floor is still covered in snow.
Alex has been using the emergency shovel
from my car to shovel the snow out of the yurt.

After another large snowfall

Alex lit the stove up for the first time and nothing catastrophic happened
pretty cool right?
