This past week our builders have been working hard on our sauna.
Take a look at the progress.
Looks like a mole visited our basement.
Because of the plumbing had to be changed around, there was a lot of digging and jack hammering involved.
Lots of dust and shaking, and very loud noises went on this week in our house.
Framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation and drywalling got done this week.
Drain for a bigger and better shower area.
View to sauna. We will have a drain in the floor, as well as water spiket in sauna.
Framing between sauna and shower area. The shower will have two shower heads.

Everything got insulated yesterday and today. Shower area.
Insulated sauna.
We used R-13 on the walls and doubled it to R-26 on the ceiling.
View from the family room; on the left there is space for a closet, door to the bathroom, as well as another closet/shelves area on the right.
Shower got drywalled today.
Sauna also got a radiant barrier/water proofing over the insulation.
This is the toilet area, which also will have a build-in book case on the wall...for all that bathroom reading material.
Opening to toilet area under the staircase.
View from the family room later tonight. It is starting to look like a real room again.
The highlight of the week was the inspection of the construction. So far so good. Everything that needed to pass (plumbing, electrical, insulation, ect) passed. Couple of more weeks and we may have things looking close to being done!
The kids do love camping out up in the main level. They are having such a great time hanging out together. In fact Maija told me yesterday, that she really does not want to move back to her own room, she enjoys sharing a room with her brothers much better...according to her it is so much more fun not being alone.
If anything, this building project has really brought our kids closer together!
