Now living in my yurt for about 3 years, at 9,300 feet in rural Colorado, I thought it was time to write memoirs of a sort to maybe help others out there pursuing the yurt life.

I’m a big do-it-yourself-er so the yurt really fit the bill for me - though it did require a few very nice friends to help with the yurt-raising.

Why Yurt Lady?

When I was trying to get my plans pushed through the building department, at some point the entire staff saw the plans as they’d never come across anything like it before. I became universally known as the Yurt Lady to all the inspectors. I started saving time by introducing myself as the Yurt Lady whenever I called or went into the office.
