Hexayurts - we need these for the winter
Please come to Occupy and check out what will help us sustain ourselves throughout the winter. It is wind proof, water proof, and safe for a heater installation. This blew our imagination bubble way open. We thought how cool it would be to paint the hexayurt with chalkboard paint. We can all draw on our yurts the messages we wish to portray. We get two things done at once. Shelter and communication! Send messages to the people that live there and send messages to the people that walk around it.
What we need help with? We need help with transportation and creative floor ideas. One great idea that came up was wooden pallets but without any spaces. Why is it so important we don’t use pallets that have spaces in between them. We may help the rats make a nest for winter. Come down and share you creative resources and help us build and find floors for our hexayurts. Would you like to help house occupiers! Well it doesn’t cost that much when you and a bunch of friends all go in all a hexayurt for your local occupier! Here is some information below that will help you help us.
1st step. Pre order tape
This is the best source we found for the tape you need:

You need the type this is 4 inches wide. Each Yurt will use at least 1 and 1/2 rolls of the tape. The tape cannot be applied well in the cold, you will need a heat gun if done below 40 degrees.
2nd step
Get a bunch of friends and design what you want:

3rd step:
Go to home depot or online stores and find the material.
The material be bought you can see marked on the board yurts is "Tuff-R" insulation boards. They come 4x8 and I recall being around $20.
