flooring glued down:
note the dairy heater in the foreground. even with the insulation up, it still gets cold in there:
hot room work. for the hot room floor, i went with painted exterior vinyl. i didn't want vinyl sheeting due to the heat and none of the other products seemed worth it to me. no drain either, intent is to have a dry sauna, a little sweat/water won't hurt. so i painted the floor and then put down some heavy paper to protect it while i worked in the room. the wood strip you see is treated 1x2 that the tongue and groove will rest upon. my thoughts was that if any water does pool up for some reason, i didn't want it messing with the cedar:
now the fun begins, first piece of t&g installed! i graded all the t&g, selected the knottier pieces to use under the benches:
blurry photo but the stuff goes up pretty quickly. time consuming effort is getting the damn wood out there. i didn't have a good way to set anything up outside (bunch of snow on the ground) so i cut a few pieces in the garage and carry them out there for nailing:
some changing room progress:
corner of the changing room, a bench will go here. intent is to not have any corner trim on the walls, the t&g butts tight. actually not tight, there is a small gap for expansion. the bulk of the gap is covered up by the end of the piece that butts up against it:
small pieces fill in the short wall sections. i butted these ends tight against the door frame, with a slight gap at the corner that gets covered up by the piece on the adjacent wall:
wall in changing room opposite the bench, where the electrical panel is installed:
close up of a receptacle:
where the grille will be installed for the air return. pieces on the left don't match up exactly, that will be covered with door trim. and note that the insulation facing has been removed. i didn't realize it at first but with foil vapor barrier on the hot room side and faced insulation on the changing room side, that common wall had become an 'insulation sandwich'. any moisture that finds its way into the wall cavity will have a hard time getting out. so i took off the facing in the changing room:
some corner work in the hot room, with intake vent installed:
