17th March 2022 - Yurt Build - day 3

Thought for the day :"If Lawyers are disbarred and Clergy defrocked, then Horses put out to stud are desired"


Another full day at the Yurt Site.
Started with a trip to the Wood Store and brought back 20 6"x2" x 2.4mtr beams (see what I did there? Mixed the imperial and decimal measures - I must drive them berserk at the store where they are in mm all the time!)

With Jimmy's assistance we managed to get all the main support beams in place and properly level - and proved the drop .. My next job is to level the uprights to the height of the beams and add the additional bolts into the beams to make them full secure...  £220 for the wood !!  It is so expensive at the moment. 
A year ago I am sure that we would have been on budget but there is no way at the moment - though prices will probably increase again. However, it has made the whole project a lot more expensive than we were expecting..

Having looked at it the other way around of course - should we decide to put it out for AirBnB, Glamping Yurts are charging over £500 a week - so the costs could be recovered quite quickly if we wished. No decision there yet...

But here is today's record...







Meanwhile - Happy St Patrick's Day 

Cheers !
