I've given up trying to keep mud out. In December of 1995 a wind storm brought a tree down on the yurt. The shed took most of the force and was destroyed. The yurt suffered just a punctured roof. The farm that I live on an oxbow bend of a small river.
Floods are common , but none have actually caused any damage.
I really want to thank my friends Scott Love and Randy Krahn for the construction work on the deck. Thanks also to Lew Ladd and his sons for the help in raising the yurt. My yurt was manufactured by Pacific Yurts of Cottage Grove, Oregon. Counter provided by WebCounter .
