We bought our land in the fall of 1996. There was a 30 gpm well on the property
but no other improvements. We chose a site for the yurt, had a road cleared and a
trench dug for the water line from the well. We also put in a septic system. Bob spent
several months designing and building the interior wall units in our backyard
in Seattle. In June 1997, we loaded up a 30-ft truck with the yurt kit from
Pacific Yurts,
enough wood for a 30-ft platform, the interior wall units (which Bob had built so
they could be disassembled and reassembled later), the appliances, the generator and
the tools and headed out to Twisp.
