Little Fusi...Yurt!

My yurt is down the hill from my main house in Hammond Ranch outside of Weed.

Here's a link to more pictures I took around December 2006.

A yurt is a Mongolian tent. The previous owners built the yurt and really did a great job of it. They bought the yurt kit from these guys. Check out their web site for construction information.

It's two stories, almost 1000 square feet. The top story is one big round room with woodstove and a couple of awesome skylights. It includes a comfortable L shaped couch and a bit of other furniture.

Downstairs is the kitchen and storage - there's propane for heating, stove and refrigerator, and a clawfoot baththub that looks out through French doors onto a private outside deck. Water is from a cistern, and I have quiet Honda generators for electricity as needed.

I like owning a yurt. Has a special ring when you say it, doesn't it?
