Update.

Last week was the first time I've spent more than a weekend in the yurt, 10 days to be precise. What did I learn?
1) You HAVE to be tidy if you want to spend any time in a yurt. Not having corners means that you can't really get away from the socks you just threw across the floor.
2) Little things make live so much easier. Baby wipes for example are indispensible when you have a limited supply of water, I've used them for general cleaning, getting soot off the woodburner window, and more frequently wiping soot and ash from my hands.
3) Coal really sucks, even when you've stopped using it, the tar and filth lives in the chimney and fall out in lumps onto the nice clean canvas covering the yurt. There's a nasty brown stain on it now, entirely as a result of using cheap house coal.
4) Rugs are the way forward, by rugs I mean small rugs that can be taken outside and shaken out, not massive rugs that encompass the entire yurt floor. Another project for summer.
5) Wind can and will find any weaknesses in the cover and make it flap so furiously that it sounds like some kind of canvas armageddon. Easily cured by throwing big lumps of wood onto the roof to keep the join flat.
