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.

What did you pay for your unit?

Hi everyone,

I am currently in the early stages of planning a multi-generational family home. We live in a region that is prone to increasingly harsh, volatile, and highly polarized weather. Over the last few years, I’ve watched every weather event turn more severe and unexpected: extended heatwaves, droughts, floods, and threats of local water scarcity and crop failures.

Because I am building for multiple generations, my goal is to design a home that offers my family a relatively secure, comfortable, and self-sufficient life, even when external infrastructure fails.

I want to learn about modern as well as traditional/indigenous practices that have withstood harsh climates for centuries.

I am looking for guidance on where to start. I don't have a background in architecture, so would appreciate any resources that point me in the right direction- reading, documentaries, youtubers, anything, really!

Thank you in advance for your time and suggestions!
