In the background, the roof of the Concentric Lower Yurt is sheathed.

The crew...relaxing...after applying the ice block and black felt to the Lower Yurt roof and triming the eves with an ingenious tool.

Left to right: Eric, Josef, Brian, and Ray.

The Concentric from the hillside with the Lower Yurt roof ready for shingles.
Again, from the hillside, the Lower Yurt roof is being shingled (4 men, 7 days!). On the left in the background, the Bathroom/Utility Yurt and, nearly hidden, the Studio Yurt.
Looking out through what will be the kitchen windows. The sink will be in the center.
The kitchen windows from the outside. The large base-down triangle is the door to the office.
This is the dining area. The shed will be removed. The center base-down window (the post is blocking the window in this view) faces true South.
The windows on the right are the dining area windows. The center base-down triangle window faces true South.
These are the living area windows looking out from the inside. The hope is to have the view be a hillside of wild flowers....

First lamination layer of the ridge beam for the Gallery. It's 14' long.
We planed 1" X 8" X 16' pine boards to a thickness of 9/16" so they would bend over the jig.
The 2nd lamination layer, applied over the 1st, is drying on the jig.
