I'd love to visit your special place someday to see what you've created--and sign the book. <BR/><BR/>I'm at a friend's place who happens to have a small booklet titled "Earthen Floors" by Athena and Bill Steen (Authors of "The Strawbale House"). I suspect you'd find it very helpful. It's listed at $8.50 US plus shipping. You can order it from the Steens at absteen@dakotacom.net or from my friend at richard@gentleharvest.org.<BR/><BR/>My favorite yurt of all time had an earthen floor with radiant heat running through it. It was wonderful, so grounding and cozy!! <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the project,<BR/><BR/>beckyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602394231484634629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6769112746500940342.post-38080253975581362122009-01-12T11:10:00.000+01:002009-01-12T11:10:00.000+01:00Becky - an honour.

Our guest yurts (Kyrgyz-style coppiced chestnut) were made at Yurtshop and will be on wooden platforms based on the Pacific Yurts model. Our own (coppiced ash) yurts were made by Future Roots in Brighton. Art the moment, it looks like we'll be living in a 26-foot space, with am 18-foot bedroom attached. And as of last night, we're thinking of an adobe floor. I've literally just started asking around about how to make one - it'll save us a fortune in wood.<BR/><BR/>Welcome and please do call again.
