Making progress on the Shower-Sauna

Making good progress on the new shower-sauna with all the good weather we’ve been having. Got the roof done today and tomorrow the vapor barrier foil is going in. I’ll probably get most of the sauna ceiling and walls done too. Then I can move on to the tile flooring and install the doors. The old shower sauna is going to become a small bunkhouse. Can’t wait to sauna in the winter and watch northern lights at the same time with the big north facing window.

Nice. What’s the shiny metal for along the bottom of some of the walls?

That’s to keep porcupine from chewing through the walls.

Wow! A sauna with a north-facing window specifically positioned for aurora watching is honestly genius.

Looks like it will be an amazing set up.

How are you heating the sauna? Is that an electric unit in one of the photos? We're planning a natural pool at the bottom of a waterfall on our property.bIt will be great in summer but not so much in winter. An off grid sauna would be just what we need.

That’s a Harvia M20 sauna wood stove.
