Hi Eric, good questions. I don’t know of space, easily, where you could get set up. Perhaps AmSteel or Nimby would let you have some space.
However, on the playa, we use a rope halo to secure the roof cone, via other strands of rope, to rebar. On cement, this is not possible. You’d have to use some weight, water or sand. We may be hosting a workshop in early summer, in the E. Bay. There’ll be an announcement here, as well as Black Rock Hexayurt’s FB page. You don’t really want to paint the outside. For interiors, use a paint that will adhere to the alum coating.
