So, for in honor of Something Extra Week, we started thinking about what kind of inexpensive options there are for adding an extra structure to a property. Building a barn, guest house, or detached office can be pricy, but what about a yurt? Yurts are semi-permanent circular structures that are sort of like a cross between a one-room cabin and a tent. We did some poking around at various yurt construction companies, and we found, based on complete estimation and no mathematical abilities whatsoever, that by and large, a 16ft diameter yurt will run you between $5000 and $8000. Don’t forget to add in extra costs like insulation, taller walls, stove outlet, door and flooring options, etc. We did find 2 16ft. yurts for $5000 in the YurtForum.com classifieds. It’s cheaper than building a tiny house.  Anyway, it’s free to look and dream and scheme, so let’s look at pictures of stuff for inspiration, shall we?
