Hi Anna, This is my first burning man and first hexayurt, so I've just been trying to eek out information a little at a time as I go along. I pretty much followed the blog at Design Mills. ( http://www.designmills.com/2010/08/08/building-a-folding-rigid-insulation-hexayurt/ ) You can see all the questions that I asked on the blog. John was very patient answering them. I'm adding a couple of small windows and some furnace filters for ventilation. Also, a piece of aluminum angle along the bottom edge beneath the door to add a little rigidity.
