My first Hexayurt

Before Burning Man I've was intrigued with yurts and hexagon dwellings. When I spotted a hexayurt at BM I had to learn more. www.hexayurt.com has lot's of great information and videos on Hexayurts. I'm not ready to build a full size one but my hands and mind wouldn't let me sit still so I built this to scale model out of a Ryobi box. This is so cool! I can't wait to build a full size one. Thank You Vinay for your great work helping solve Refugee, housing for the very poor and Disaster Relief issues.

A Hexayurt!
