Finally, work has been done on building 2 new yurts. These yurts will be 25″ across and be about 475 sq feet of living space. This time around we decided to buy 2 roof kits as opposed to the complete kit. By purchasing on the roof kits only, we could get 2 delivered on one truck saving in shipping. Also, I had to buy 2 roof kits to get the roof metal in any color other than silver. We received the roof kits in April of this year. We then had to save up some “scratch” and wait for my helpers Gator and JT to free up from previous commitments.
This is pad site 2 before any dirt work had been done.
I had Buck put in a circular drive and pad sites for both pad 1 and pad 2.
This is pad 1 when finished.
We then had to start laying out the pads for the piers and start the monumental task of drilling the piers. This lasted about 30 minutes…. Then the call went out to Buck to bring out his hammer to break up the limestone shelf so we could try to auger the holes.
After the the holes were positioned and dug, forms were built, secured and leveled. This took about 2 weeks.
After the forms were in place we poured 8 yards of concrete. The truck could reach about 4 or 5 of forms. After that, it was on JT’s back (literally) to wheelbarrow the concrete from the truck to the forms. This was a long day!
