After numerous long evenings and weekends our sauna is back in use. Completely renovated shower room, new floor in the dressing room, floor heating in both, new stove, new lights, benches sanded down and appropriately treated, sauna room walls washed and treated, log building painted from the outside. The works. Today it was in use for the first time and the electricity was free 2-4 pm as part of the Octopus Energy trial, so it didn’t even cost a penny to heat! This is our boys conducting a quality inspection.
That’s some serious work there but the boys seem to appreciate it (although they have their coats on so it might be a little warm for them).
I built the sauna originally in 2002 from a log cabin kit I bought from a factory in Finland and had shipped to the UK. Since then it’s been in regular, more or less, weekly use, and we’ve only needed to do basic maintenance. This was the first time we did a thorough renovation, so we should be good for the next 20+ years
Very impressive - those Finn’s build things to last.
