Yurts for Christ

I am constantly looking at better housing options for my family. One of the things I have been considering for us is is a yurt. But then I read this:

30' Diameter Yurt - 706 square feet and 13' tall in the center (13'11" with taller wall option). This size is most often chosen by families or couples who will make the yurt their primary home or live in it while they build a traitional or straw bale home. It is also a popular size for a "come one, come all" friends and family retreat and can even function as a mini-conference center seating up to sixty people. Takes 2-3 days for five people to erect. Could be squeezed into a weekend by studying the set up instructions and having a very dedicated, hardworking group of friends!


and thought, hmmm. Throw up an Iconostatsis and you have yourself a nice inexspensive temple for a mission.

A potential problem with using it as a dwelling is where to put the icons in a house with no corners?

There's the question of building codes and code enforcement, plus do you have the private property to put this on with the required facilities-electrical/plumbing/septic?

totally. All of that will have to be researched first. When the time comes I know a couple of real estate lawyers.
