I still have not resolved the problem with moisture staining along beams in both the overlap section of the roof and in the main yurt section. I had to hire a former supervisor at yurtworks to evaluate the problem @ cost of $845 to come down to Bandon from Eugene. At his suggestion I installed a vent in the overlay section at his suggestion bec ause he thought this moisture was caused by condensation.
The entire overlay and extension roof had to be retiled because the sections between the roof sections were not insulated whn installed.
Investigation along two beams in the main yurt revealed fiberglass insulation was installed, however, the stains continue to progress along that beam and have now appeared on a third one.
Have also had problems with popping and creaking in the main yurt. After built I discoveredthat the central skylihgt can pop on hot days.. However, this popping has increased over the years and occurs at night as well.. Am not sure of the cause, the cables encircling & holding the walls/roof were checked in 03 and seemed secure. Also the beams were not kiln-fired.. which may be another possible source.
As for new ownership.. my understanding from conversation with former supervisor who consulted.. the prior owner is still a major minority owner of business.. he said at 49% .. I did not check w/ Oregon Corporation on this issue. Certainly Morgan was still at Yurtworks while I was trying to deal w/ problem
Meanwhile construction to install the vent & rertile roof cost over $4000 & the contractor screwed up on roofing.. which will hvve to be repaired this summer.
Love the structure but the problems are unreasonable, including dealing w/ Morgan... I can't even obtain the original instructions for instalation or a copy of the video instructions which they said were included. |
