Here is the Hexayurt Meditation Hut process in 40 photos. http://gallery.me.com/dkent#100092
What I would do differently: 1) Find a level building site... (duh!, all the building books told me to do that, and building on a slope was challenging) 2) Don't paint near the seams... the tape did not stick to the painted surfaces! I almost ruined the whole project but I tried the tape on the inside paint surface before painting the outside. 3) Don't use Prodex insulation... the wrinkled crinkled aluminum facing decreased the tape sticking to surface (although I believe the meditation hut is a well-insulated structure now, I would have preferred to pay for a thicker, better foam board and skip the Prodex). 4) Try harder to find Thermax HD or Hexacomb. It took forever to tape all the edges of the Tuff-R (the only polyiso material available to me in New Mexico). The hut has 13 layers (see details below) Now the experiment continues to see if it will hold up for one year in New Mexico storms and winds and snow. Samarpan P.S. The meditation hut has these layers: 1) exterior insulated/flame retardant paint 2) exterior Prodex foil exterior surface 3) Prodex foam core 4) exterior Prodex foil interior surface 5) air gap (I taped the edges only) 6) exterior Tuff-R foil 7) Tuff-R polyiso core 1" 8) interior Tuff-R foil 9) air gap (I taped the edges only) 10) interior Prodex foil exterior surface 11) Prodex foam core 12) interior Prodex foil interior surface 13) interior insulated/flame retardant paint --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
