Diary My diary in reverse order (newest entry top, oldest entry at the bottom): 11. 4. 2006: Winter Is Back Today surprise, the winter is back - after a few days of rain the temperature dropped and it got 15-20cm snow again - beautiful, yet, it's getting time for spring! 7. 4. 2006: Taking It Down The first dry days, and I "smoked" the tipi, a bit too much as the PE extension wrinkled due to the heat, and I had to cut it away, and redo the extension (3.6m -> 4.8m) again, probably with new PE white or green, or I find a source with reasonable priced polyester/cotton canvas, let's see. Spring time 2006, re-opening the tipi after wintertime 2006/04/04 10:44 Looks good after the winter (1) 2006/04/04 10:44 Looks good after the winter (2) 2006/04/04 10:44 Cut away the extension 2006/04/07 11:04 2006/04/07 11:04 2006/04/07 15:46 Just the poles 2006/04/07 15:46 Just the poles 2006/04/07 15:47 I leave the poles as I don't have space to keep them under a shelter. The poles will be taken down later and then I erect the tipi at a slightly different place so the space I used the summer and winter can regenerate. 21. 12. 2005: Winter Solstice I didn't had the chance to take the tipi down, either it was raining or covered by snow or ice. The last days have been cold at night at -5°C and 3-4°C at day, which is unfortunate as the humidity remains in the cotton canvas. 25. 11. 2005: Winter Time Winter Time Well, that's happening when someone is postponing to take down the tipi: you end up with a snow covered tipi! I will at least remove the inlining and wash it, as I had mice inside or benath my bed and they also dirten the inlining. Let's see how good the insulation now is. 6. 11. 2005: Moving into the Yurt Tipi, my summer residence; Yurt, my winter residence I moved my sleeping bag and insulation mattress into my yurt and spent the first night in it - the next days I move other interior from the tipi to the yurt and take then down the tipi.
