I thought all day long... to check if the sellers might trade my late mom's "authentic, antique 42" Tibetan wood prayer bench with two-headed ram motif" for that gorgeous yurt.<BR/><BR/>Every time I'd ever looked at the <I>thing</I>, I kept thinking, "You know, one of these days you'll probably have to burn this old curiosity piece... for the well-seasoned firewood it is...<BR/><BR/>... But, alas, I also thought... to never notice the damnable eBay auction... would end so soon!"<BR/><BR/>So, I wonder, Niki, couldn't you put a 'wish-list' of best materials together - to build one just as nice - for around $1800, plus maybe the costs to ship?<BR/><BR/>Take a look at Culture Artist [dot] org sometime for inspiration. Is it practical for the structure to be made more "semi-permanent" and protected from bad weather by sinking the walls seven feet into the ground... next spring?<BR/><BR/>Surely something useful could be done with the dirt afterwards.<BR/><BR/>http://www.cultureartist.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
