I've managed to get everything moved into the new Yurt and placed in a configuration I feel good with, so I figured I'd give you all a quick video tour:
The Rug
I managed to find an 8-foot diameter wool rug on Craiglist for a really good deal. I feel very fortunate, because this is exactly what I was looking for!
Since the Yurt is 12-feet in diameter, this gives a 2-feet area along the wall for putting things (e.g. furniture, bedding, instruments, etc.), and a ton of space in the middle of the Yurt for life activities (e.g. stretching, sleeping, working on projects, etc.).
Storage
Most of the things I need to store fit in a large plastic bin with a lid. I was able to turn it into a table for placing my lantern and incense holder on by throwing a large piece of cloth over it. I think it looks pretty awesome!
Furniture
Since I often sleep in the back of my truck, I needed to remove the back seats. I had the problem of finding a place to store them in case I have kids one day or need to transport more than 2 people, but that was solved by using them like living room furniture. I just put some heavy supporting objects behind them to keep the backrest from collapsing, and they work perfectly!
My bed consists of a camping mat, wool comforter and a quilt a friend made for me years ago. I just fold them all up and
Office Space
I constructed a little standing office against one wall. The foundation is a full body vibration plate (which I don't have a strong enough power inverter to run yet) with a grounding mat placed on top.
I used one of the spare roof poles, some tied cloth and foundation board to create a space for my laptop to sit.
I have a small USB Solar Panel hanging from the outside of the Yurt which powers my laptop as long as the sun is out.
Miscellaneous
I have very few clothes so they take up very little space. I usually keep them inside of two camping stuff sacks against the wall near the folded up bedding.
My Sitar and Bass Guitar also sit against the wall. I'm looking forward to getting a battery pack made which can power the Bass Amplifier!
I currently keep my Food and Supplements in the Yurt, but I am concerned about attracting insects and larger animals, so I'm trying to think of a better way to store that stuff. Let me know if you have ideas!
Nighttime Lighting
One of my favorite things about the new Yurt is how it feels at night when lit by a single lantern. My camera doesn't really do it justice due to the low light levels, but it's such a good mood setter! Also, when looking at the Yurt from the outside when it's really dark with the lantern lit inside the whole things glows really eerily... almost like it's a ghost! Maybe I'll show you someday if I get a better camera.
Thanks for dropping by and checking out the inside of my new Yurt! If you enjoyed the video I hope you'll give this post an Upvote, and if you'd like to see my future content please click that Follow button. Have an awesome day!
