Dave has been slogging away while I plant runner beans and glue the windows into my yurt crown. The decision to buy cheap floor boards is one that will bug me for some time to come. The boards to the front and rear of the base are solid, the ones to either side have very little support and will need shoring up and strengthening. I'll take some pics when the supports are done.

The khana walls came out of storage today, unfortunately, I had them stored on their sides and not upright, this resulted in some of the camel hide strips holding the lattice batons together stretching and popping their knots off. I'm hoping that stretched strips doesn't mess things up too muich when it comes to putting the walls up. for the record, they SHOULD be stored up against a wall, with the bend facing inwards to the wall. The camel hide strips are also succeptible to some kind of mad camel pinhead mould if kept in damp conditions (like the back of my truck). No damage was done by the mould though, time will tell if my stupidity in the incorrect storage of the walls has done any damage. I'll email Tim (Yurtsdirect) and seek his advice.
