    Hey there! we are building the exact same thing on our property this spring, same size, same company and plans, etc. We're wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing a complete materials list for this project? We basically want to replicate what you did and the plans are not as detailed on the pacific yurts materials list. Great video, thank you!!

    Joe! These are so incredibly helpful. Question: we noticed that there was caulking done between the structure and the plywood subfloor. Can you share more about that? ie Reasons for doing that, what type of caulk you used, and any other info you can think of that would be helpful. Thank you!

    • @JoeSimple
      @JoeSimple  3 роки тому +1

      Hello, glad the videos are helpful. That is a great question I over looked explaining that. The "caulking" is actually sub-floor adhesive used to secure the plywood to the framing along with nails. Helps keep it securely to the frame. While also helps keep down and any noises, squeaky floor. If you search sub floor adhesive you should find some info. Loctite brand makes one. And a product called liquid nails. Please feel free with any more questions!

    • @katrinabubasstevens7035
      @katrinabubasstevens7035 3 роки тому

      Thank you so much! Are there risks to not using the adhesive? We’re building a 16’ yurt platform that will be dismantled and moved in 2 years, so we’re thinking not applying the adhesive if it’s not absolutely necessary, and using deck screws instead of nails. This yurt is not a living space; just an accessory dwelling for hangouts and such. Thoughts?

    • @JoeSimple
      @JoeSimple  3 роки тому +1

      No you do not need the adhesive. Deck screws will work just fine.

      Thanks for enjoying it!! Plans are available at yurts.com under resources, downloads.
      Material cost in 2019 $3500- 4000
      Expect much more with today's lumber costs! Time was just over a week full days, from lay out to finished deck. Yes The block does come with the strap attached, concrete pier block with strap.

    Hey Joe, we bought a yurt and it is being manufactured right now. Your videos on the yurt deck are the best we've seen! Thank you so much for showing the details. I have one question though, how are you holding up the insulation panels? Just screwing right into the spacers? What is holding them up?

    • @JoeSimple
      @JoeSimple  3 роки тому +2

      Congratulations on your soon to be yurt, Thank you. Yes the panels were screwed to the spacers. couple tips, we cut the insulation panels fairly tight and forced them in from the top, easer than crawling under. Then installed the spacers using nails or screws your choice, if using pressure treated lumber don't forget to use hot dipped galvanized fasteners.
      feel free with any more questions.

  • @NondescriptBrunette
    @NondescriptBrunette 4 роки тому +1

    Is that 4x8 for the beams and 2x8 for the blocking? Is that pressure treated? My plans call for beams 4' on center and no blocking because it is meant for a SIPS deck. Did you do your blocking just over 4' OC so it was friendly with the insulation dimensions?

    • @JoeSimple
      @JoeSimple  4 роки тому

      We used 4x6 for the beams, they could be up sized if wanted. 2x6 for the blocking, yes it is pressure treated/ ground contact. Yes the beams are 4' on center. I did the 2x6 blocking between the beams because 1 1/8 ply wood was selected for the flooring, and it needs bracing every 4'. But I could see not needing it when using something engineered like SIPS. Thanks for checking out the video and great questions, Feel free with any more questions.

    Hey Joe, thanks for your reply about the plywood. Decided to go with the 2x6 T&G select deck for flooring instead👍🏼 One more question for ya…..we used 6x6 beams for our posts and we set bolts down in concrete to attach our base to for the 6x6 to sit on. As we’re getting ready to do our floor joists, we noticed 1-2 of our longer posts seem a bit wobbly. I’m assuming the nuts didn’t get tightened enough? But we’ve already screwed/nailed the posts in. Do you feel like that will compromise the structure at all? Especially after all the heavy joists and flooring are in place on top of it? Thanks so much for your input!
