    This is a great option and a very nice little home...my personal opinion is to use a yurt. That's just me.

    Greetings from Panama. I have a question so far. What´s the funtion for "half-lap corner joints".
    Thank you.

    I have some property at 2500 ft. I have constructed 2 yurts with
    snow load. When I get about 6 ft of snow they both caved in. This
    seems like a very sturdy structure. How much snow will this Cozy
    Cabin withstand?

    looking to ask Steve Maxwell, about the the article, Build this
    cozy cabin we have land in Maine and would like to build. We seem
    to be getting much questions on why on the foundation, he has 10
    pier forms, total of five to the porch and none in centers. the
    story reads, one at each corner, on long ends, put one in middle,
    one in center of back 14' end and 2spaced evenly from porch. Is
    this a misprint as people are saying. are there no post in the
    center of the cabin?? thanks, Tom and Carol
