Starting
the Lattice wall |

The
Lattice wall Unraveled We spread the lattice wall around the circumference of the yurt. Picture taken 05/16/2000. |
| Door

Fastening
to the Drip Edge Next, we fastened the bottom of the lattice wall to the drip edge. Picture taken 05/16/2000. |

Ring in Place You can see the position of the tension ring in this photo. Picture taken 05/16/2000. |
| Rafters
in Place We then installed all of the rafters, positioned between the tension wire at the top of the lattice wall and the tension ring at the top. Picture taken 05/16/2000. |

We started installing the snow and wind kit. There is a stud that goes from the floor of the yurt and is clamped under each rafter using brackets. Each stud requires 16 screws! It is slow going, but we should complete that task in the morning. Then, it's on to the side and top covers!!!
