excellent idea. I've been advocating a SIS or "stress skin panel" versoin of the hexayurt for a while.
a SIS is a plywood sandwich, with insulation in the middle. I've used 1/4 inch plywood, which is very cheap, and a thicker 3 inch foam insul panel, so.... Ive used this with barns and small cabins and it is gREAT!
