Is That the USS Iowa in You're Sleeping In?

I just got done on the first half of converting my 6' Hexayurt to a 6' Stretch, and I'm *shocked* at how much bigger the structure is! I only have the walls set up in my living room (where they barely fit) and I'm almost embarrassed at how much space I'll have/be taking up. As you can see here, the Stretch has 70 sq. ft. vs. the 6' version's 41 sq. ft. That part I groked. However, what I *wasn't* thinking about is that it's almost 50% of the size of the 8' Hexayurt, which is 166 sq. ft. I loved Smash Camp's two air-conditioned 8' Hexayurts last year at Flipside, but they were *huge*, and now I, personally, will be taking up half that much space.

On the other hand, I'm fairly certain my 'yurt will be able to take The USS Monitor in battle.
