Yurt's so dumb

So we've been working on getting a three dimensional rendering of our yurt and what we want to accomplish with it's design. Unfortunately, after talking to Mike's mom last night, I realized that if the world at large all thought the same way as her, CPS would definitely come calling when we get moved in. Apparently she not only thought that I was letting Mike move me into a tent, but also live in said tent sans electricity, or running water. I believe the exact wording was, "If Phoenix does go to public school, the second they find out he lives in a yurt, CPS will be knocking". WTF? IT IS NOT A FUCKING CANVAS BAG WITH STAKES HOLDING IT TO THE GROUND!
Yes, the original definition of a yurt is pretty much that. But the modern yurt can have all the things that a traditional house has. The only difference, is technically I can move the structures if I want, leaving virtually no traces behind. Very good for the environment, and perfect for me to have parts of my house elevated, and some not.
