AND THEN THERE IS OUR SAUNA CONSTRUCTON

This past week we had some bumps on the road with the construction inspectors...
they really don't know too much about saunas here in this part of the world, so some of the inspectors coming by did not want to approve our sauna construction. 
They had concerns with the stove, water , and electricity being all in the same room...or like one of them said: "I just don't like it". 
 
Fortunately we have a great general contractor, who got it all cleared, so now the construction can move along.
 
Toilet area transformation this past week



 
Sauna control box is in...

 
Sauna vapor barrier...

 
...and the concrete flooring with a drain...

 
...sauna will have two wents. 
One will be by the stove and this other one is opposite from the stove, venting to the shower area.  Hopefully that will keep the air moving...
 
 
 
Shower area...




...the floor of the shower is cultured granite.  Easy to clean and maintain.
