    The 16′ diameter and under yurt is a good shelter. Larger are not cost effective.
    The round deck is easily framed in day or day half, and yurt goes up short day.

    The 16′ provides 200 sq ft of space. They have excellent resale once things improve.
    Pacific Yurts is a good product. Once persons impacted by disaster, moves on, easy to
    sell on Craig’s list. lot of options re windows, etc.

    I am comfortable in mine on my remote farm. Once I build I thought I might sell it,
    but now have thoughts of guest house or ag prep room. Round is nice space.

    I was intrigued by all the solutions presented. What about some lightweight foam concrete
    structures? ferro cement was interesting concept in past. Now they have lightweight foams,
    including some from soy base, inert, won’t burn like urethane foam. spray over reusable form.
