The Building Process
Some of you may enjoy the process we went through to build our wood fired sauna. Here are a few pictures from the construction process. As of January 2025, the sauna is up and running and ready to go! However, we still have many steps left to go! We will be working on siding, a wrap around porch, an external shower, a cold plunge (for now we can use buckets of cold water!), a fire pit, and hopefully, God willing, a hot tub!
