back to the yurt idea

Mahalo Macnut! Yeah, I think the idea of a stem wall is awesome, because you could build an enormous loft inside. I think you could make it look good also, but I'm no architect. I also think it would give the yurt a more "permanent feel". I'd actually put a drain right in the center of the entire circle and use stained concrete for the floor- with the idea of having the entire thing capable of being "hosed down" for cleaning. The other good option that I found, was a "tropic cupola" which is sold by "Pacific Yurts", but could probably be used with any of the brands. IT replaces the acrylic dome on top, with a more open, airy structure, that still appears to be waterproof.
