Vinya, I've been following the emails for a short while and I am very interested in the hexayurt. I am working on 2 projects. 1 - we have been planning to have a "tent in" to raise awareness about our homelessness issue in my community and state. After reading about the OSB designed hexayurt....I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to bring together a team to "test" build an OSB yurt in conjunction with this tent-in event.
Also I am working on an off the grid sustainable community here regionally and we are looking for phase 1 structures for the first few months until we are able to produce our own straw for straw bale structures...AGAIN, the OSB yurt looks like an option that definately fits into our core values (cost-effective, low tech, etc...) Are there any detailed plans for the OSB models? Or has anyone done any detailed notes that we could convert to plans...(like with measurements, and techniques used)? I read the overview page and it didn't give definate dimensions, etc... Let me know if the informaiton exists and if we would be able to use the "hexayurt" name (and reference your website pages) for this upcoming event (we are shooting for November)? I can be reached of course by email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or phone at 678.749.2707. Live life fully today!
