North Carolina Yurt Home (2011)
A tour of our former yurt home in Valdese, North Carolina! This was from 2011, when we lived there. Within a couple of years after building it, we moved onward to new things and the yurt became a vacation home with significantly simplified furnishings, but I never got an updated video! This video is no longer current, and the yurt is now owned privately by family members. But it remains one of the only code-approved residential yurt homes in North Carolina, so I thought it might be good to keep it on the internet! If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask! I don't check comments regularly, but I do get notifications from UA-cam to my email. Enjoy the tour and forgive my sometimes cringe-worthy commentary!

    I was wondering what the code process was like. Would you say NC is pretty easy to build a yurt in or was it difficult for y’all?

    Are you still living in your yurt home? Would love to see an update on any changes you made since this video! Did you start with the bubble insulation? What did you use to reinsulate your ceiling? Did you insulate your floors? I think I would double insulate with wool in my build, but am checking out what other options are available and what people find works the best. How is the exterior holding up? Color fading? Do you treat the exterior with anything? Hope you are able to respond - thanks!

    It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad, he who amongst the community of Jews or Christians hears about me, but does not affirm his belief in that with which I have been sent and dies in this state (of disbelief), he shall be but one of the denizens of Hell-Fire

    And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east. 19:17 And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man. 19:18 She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah ." 19:19 He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy." 19:20 She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?" 19:21 He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' " Quran

    And (remember) when Allaah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): ‘O ‘Eesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allaah?’ He will say: ‘Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner‑self though I do not know what is in Yours; truly, You, only You, are the All‑Knower of all that is hidden (and unseen). ‘Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allaah) did command me to say: Worship Allaah, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them; and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world). ‘If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You, are the All‑Mighty, the All‑Wise.’ Allaah will say: This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) - they shall abide therein forever. Allaah is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise). 120. To Allaah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is Able to do all things” [al-Maa’idah 5:116-120]. Islam q and a

      Considering that yurts originated in Mongolia i think even with a stove/fire in the middle pretty good. You can also do a double wall insulation or like these folks did that reflective stuff.

    If you ever decide to redo your tour, going slower giving the camera time to focus would help. Talking about a thing right as the camera ia focused on it for 20 or 30 seconds helps too. Thanks for the tour. What do you like and dislike about your yurt? How many are you that live comfortably in there? Did you build tbe walls for covention and utility?

    I'm seriously looking into putting one of these on my parents property to live in next year. And would love some tips that you have for working with the North Carolina building code. So far the only thing I saw with yours was that you had to have roof panels. I would also love to know the sizes of your two buildings.
