Hahaha and then the yurt guy "hit a big bump on the highway" that "took out the gas tank" and now we are sending @ksonney out in @UrsulaV's truck to get the yurt. I was doing very well not panicking RIGHT UP UNTIL NOW.

The face of a person who is NOT PANICKING AT ALL

I'll just... Be here in my hammock. Not panicking.

Hilariously the guy whose gas tank got taken out is also named Kevin. One way or another, a Kevin is delivering a yurt today.

Yurt? Yurt!

People who are not helping: Havoc

Lattice coming together

LATTICE

Scaffolding is up to raise the center roof ring

Center ring is about 4 feet across

Ring going up, rafters going in

More rafters are in - soon we'll take down the scaffolding and leave @fromagefacile and @llorenzin sitting on the ring to finish inserting the rest of the rafters.

Bummer, we just took down the top level of scaffold. But the framework is done!

Pause for calories and homebrew cider

Also there was a pause to charge my phone! But now there is a roof and insulation!

The views from my windows!!

OUTER WALL GOING ON

The central dome slides up the roof

The central dome is in place!! The yurt is rainproof!

Looking out the central dome

A fourth yurt person arrived, who brought an elderly dog.

She is now improvising a leash which, thank God, because I have feelings about loose dogs around livestock.
