I love DIY homes but, in the negatives it lists...

> Poor temperature control, noise level, and not so temporary

I'm wondering why you would build a yurt instead of one of the numerous more traditional wood frame green pre-fabs, which would essentially eliminate all of these negatives?

My guess is cost would be the biggest factor. Materials and construction methods in a tiny/pre-fab home are on a different level.

This yurt cost $65k though. That's easily on the same level as small pre-fabs.
