Circles

We've started laying the decking on the main yurt platform! It's been a long time coming with any number of bumps in the road, but we're making progress. Today we started putting the decking on the yurt platform, a few days ago we finished the decking for the mudroom, and by the end of the day we had cut a nice bit of it to form a portion of the circle. Things went quite smoothly today, and even the weather was cooperative. A cool front moved in last evening providing some much needed relief from the 90 plus degree days we had for about three days prior.

Many of the steps in this whole process have been quite gratifying, but I have to say that actually seeing part of the circle cut is one of the highlights so far. I was not expecting to cut the circle until all the flooring was in, but it seemed to be the easiest way to get the portion of the floor we had finished covered. The flooring where it extends past the beams and skirting was random lengths prior to scribing the circle which would have made covering it quite difficult so we decided to start cutting which was both exciting and a bit scary. There's no going back now, and there was no room for error in the cutting, but all went smoothly.

Tomorrow its more floor, and we'll see how far we can get before the plumber comes on Monday. Hopefully the yurt shipped today which would be another big relief, but at this point I'll be happy whenever it arrives.

Time to head off to bed, we've had some pretty long days, and I should be sleeping more than I have been. Oh, I almost forgot, our fields are mowed and almost ready for baling which is also quite exciting. We have no need for the hay at the moment, but we have an arrangement with a local farmer who will provide us with firewood in return for the hay. Pretty good deal for us. Until next time.
