Yurt home

[Anonymous No.302167]

How possible would it be to live in a Yurt full time with my wife after college?

We will be wanting electricity and plumbing.

Being located in the Oklahoma City area.

sandstorms don't lift cars up into the air and throw them two hundred feet away

yurts stand up very well against hurricanes and tornadoes because they have no flat edges. The wind has nothing to catch onto and it just blows around the structure. The biggest danger is wind pressure lifting the roof off the building, which can be solved with a wind tie down kit. Basically it's an aircraft grade metal wire that bolts the center part of the roof to the floor.

You still need to pay to build the foundation, flooring, inner walls, plumbing, heating, and electricity tho. It's big enough to have a loft in it so the square footage may be a bit more than 710. Kinda small for 2 people but if you need more room they're cheap enough to buy a 2nd one and just have them linked up with a door.
