more sauna and toilet work

Hello again,

Another day just flew by, and i learnt lots again.
I am actually having fun at this job.

Today i was told that with a circlesaw, a drill AKA screwdriver and a saw you can build almost anything.
In joints we predrilled holes for screws and added some glue for extra strenght.


A wonderfull tool the circle saw, very usefull for cutting to size planks and small board, cutting in angles or diagonally.

second layer or lower bench of the sauna. in its bginning stages.

Second attachment

while waiting for some wood we decided to put the sauna door.

the sides of the premade door have to fixed to fit over the tiles in the frame of the door.


We cut a small peace of wood from the bottom to make the door fit.after that we used the waterpass to level the doorframe in the doorway and attached the door with big screws to the frame. We then measured to see if the widths were correct and level and finally attached the door. I will put a picture of that tommorow.

The bottom bench. The corner pieces were premade, the glued in place for extra strenght with b3 glue, the straight pieces I precut to size and glued in place on the frame. a few hours later when the glue had dried we screwed the screws in from underneath for a clean smooth look.
Why underneath? for a simple reason. If you put them on top, lets just say that you would not like to have tattoo's burnt on you behind in the shape of a screw.

A small bench or foot stool in progress made to fit around the "kiuas"(sauna heater).
Because the floor is not completely level we tried to adjust the feet so the bench stands straight on the slanting floor. a good trick i learnt is to put a piece of wood on top and stand on it, if it was not stable enough we then adjust the legs accordingly.


A bit of tiling, i am not an expert but it turned out well. Yesterday we put a second layer of waterproofing. The man that was showing me how to do the first ones helped me with cutting out the tiles that needed to be cut special for parts that had to be clear. His breath smelled like he had just been drinking a bottle of vodka and i must confess i was glad to see him go.

Hehe we spent a whole hour looking for the drainage ring that was missing. but when we did finally find it the place looked a little bit cleaner.
