Nothing's perfect, but thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of cloth / tarp / yurt living because it's breathable, lightweight, and replaceable several times over on a pole structure, vs the cost of traditional materials. I like the idea of living off the ground because that's a little more space between you and the bugs and mold that you can keep an eye on and treat easier than a crawlspace or slab. The other thread about insulation and noise certainly put me on notice though... :-)
I'd have to enter through the trap door too, but presumably it'd have a big lock on it when I'm away, and I might know some non-obvious mechanism that secures it. I guess if they have a ladder I'm hosed, but at least someone might have seen them coming and going with a ladder. And of course they won't have switched off the heat tracking robots with pointy sticks...
In the complete opposite direction, is anyone building thick-walled homes with lava rock?
