Let me clarify some facts on the problems... Stains began to appear in the roofing in the yurt under the overlay section connecting the yurt to my home. My contractor said it was faulty central skylight. After some conflict between contractor and yurtworks.. the manufacturer sent a new skylight and employee from Eugene who confirmed the skylight was leaking and installed another at no cost to me. He also caulked the slats on the outside that cover the gaps where the walls are connected which was not done when built. And he also put in a new section of interior ceder paneling to cover the stains along the beams. This was done at no cost to me..
Stains began to reappear... Contractor said new skylight was defective... refused to have anything to do with problem or make any investigative searches through the drywall.. This forced me to hire the former yurtworks employee at yurtworks suggestion to evaluate cause of problem..
The stained ceder along the beams are so extensive and deep that it is not yet possible to ascertain if the cause of the problem was condensation and the vent was sufficient ... ..
The problems are compounded by the fact that the moisture penetration did not manifest until after a year so there is no hope of getting the Contract Board to help resolve it... The only solution then is to consider all this restoration costs as an extension of the purchase price..and/or a lawsuit
meanwhile, none of the contractors I contacted here on the coast have competence to handle repairs for this unique structure.. so I was forced to take the suggstion of Morgan and hire the former employee...
