I have shared in that yurt-working with friends here -- in a completely other
place -- where I am living right now in the Western Colorado desert region. They
are marvelous structures. This one is manufactured (the basic materials) in one
of two companies in the US who make 'prefabricated' yurt kits -- but they are
quite nice. One company is located not far from here in Colorado. (we did use
some heavy machinery and power-tools -- the foundation had to be built quite
strong as there was no real level ground -- so, some very large pieces of
wood... but it will last quite some years although the weather (sun & dryness
and hot/cold) is quite brutal on anything left outdoors!

looks like yours has that lovely traditional painting on the beams -- nice! One
of the nice things is just the labor, together, of 'raising the yurt'...
