Hi Todd,
Are you in the Bay Area? There's some loose talk of a yurt-building bee on the
20th.
...but if you do it yourself, my experience last year indicates you should be
able to do it in a day, or at most two, if you have some basic tools: jigsaw,
sawhorses, large, level surface to work on, long-ass straight-edge, something
to clamp the straight-edge down with, and most of all, an assistant to help
with moving panels, taping edges, etc. There are many parts of the job that
will go three times as fast with two people.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Steve
