JWFitz,
Where in HI was your yurt? Did the trades help to keep the air circulating? How about if you kept fans going? A de-humidifier?More windows? How was ventilation in your yurt? Could you open the top skylite?
I was thinking about putting up a canvas yurt on Maui around Haiku--definitely rainy side. I wondered about heat during the day. Some shade would seem to be necessary.
How big was your yurt?
To others asking about yurt living: I have had a yurt for nearly 20 years and it is the most wonderful living space imaginable. It is made of redwood with fir interior and is delightful inside and out. It looks like a mushroom from outer space. I love everything about it. It is also still portable as it comes in sections which were then bolted into place on site. Definitely not as portable as a canvas yurt and it takes longer to assemble.
I had really hoped that a yurt would be a good, temporary or guest area solution for HI.
