holes in clay and granite

- All done except for the doors
and clean-up!

- A very special thanks to our friends
Liz and Martin who came out from
- Texas and helped us put up the
timbers and start the framing on the deck.
- Another HUGE thanks to our neighbors
Jacquee' and Joel
- without whom the roof would never
have been raised!
-
- For anyone interested in growing
your own yurt, once the deck was completed
- it took two adults four days to
do the basic construction for a 30' diameter yurt.
- We had the essential help of two
friends for one day to put on the roof.
