I don't think it's being abused at all. If you have the time, finances, and willingness to learn how to do it, you can DIY. I think the same goes for most DIY projects.

The guy who put together this yurt is also the same guy who converted a van to a camper van (link was on Hacker News a while back: http://thevanual.com/). I recall he had next-to-nothing in construction experience.

Complete with insulation instructions that will cause mold growth.

Ah yes! That insulation! I definitely learned my lesson afterwards from the s*storm that ensued. Maybe there will be a vanual 2.0 in the future that resolves these issues, but at the very least, Id like to make some edits to correct that info on the current site.

You should look into that. You definitely present that site like "i know what I'm doing and this is good information."

You mean the fiberglass-in-a-bag solution? Yeah, I can't see how you would get that airtight enough to not trap moisture inside.
