Powerslave

There comes a time during the campaign when the commander opts for the "big push" with the intention to gain the upper hand.
The time was here and now...

The goal for the weekend was to wire up the entire construction (hence Powerslave).
Intended to install lights in both the dressing room as well as the actual sauna and a power socket (always good to have) in the dressing room.
Added to that is a separate power feed (400v) needed for the stove.
Wise from previous projects I know it's a tedious task to bend and install tubes for the power cables.
Not to talk about trying to pull cables that a are thick as a thumb through these tubes.

However as always circumstances may change the planning. I this case the weather was excellent, dry and shiny. So we prioritized getting the house fully painted.
Low and behold, a few hours later the entire thing was covered with a base coat making it weather proof for the entire winter, excellent.

Paint coming up

With that settled I turned my attention back to the wiring, tedious as it may be I had all wiring done by late Sunday.
Seeing the light indoors sort of gives the construction life, it's no longer an empty shell with no interior.
It's becoming a sauna for real....

Be there light...

Put a double halogen spot just above the door in the dressing room.
The light bounces neatly off the walls and cealing providing a toned down yet functional lighting.

Lights up

Most might be satisfied when they've met their goals, but that's not how I work.

Why stop when you're on a winning streak?

So in went the floor in the sauna room.

Honestly how difficult can it be? All floor boards were delivered pre-cut to the correct size.

All I had to do was to carve a hole for the power cables for the light and the stove. As well as splitting one of the boards to actually fit it into the room.

Also I got to spend to quality time with my new Makita (see last post).

moonlighting

So here it is, the sauna room with light and all.

Cozy feeling

Look at this! It's never been so close to actually become a sauna.
I'm literally a few connections away to fire up the stove....

Watch out for the black mamba

Yeah, well the dressing room still deserves some attention...like a floor.
But what the hell I'm building a sauna not a dressing room. I'll happily walk naked over the lawn if that's what it takes to enjoy my own sauna.
