Today's Project - The Loft Infrared Sauna

 

Song:  Blue Cafe

Group:  The Style Council

Today's project took but a few hours...

and I took many breaks between each wall of the Infrared Sauna...

as each wall had to be placed precisely to ensure all three of the metal

catches on each panel engaged at one time.

And so...

I had to rest my shoulders...

and regather my patience after each wall.

I was playing music while I worked...

and I had a cup of coffee standing at the ready...

so I sat at this computer and sipped at my coffee before reengaging 

the Infrared Sauna (I know...it sounds like combat...and it kind of was  :)

As it was lightly snowing throughout the day...

this was a perfect time to complete another indoor project.

I first had to unpack each panel...

and then stack them where I would put them together.

I laid the floor...

and then put up two walls.

After the first two walls were hooked together...

the rest became easier as the walls then stood in place by themselves.

I then installed the inner workings and bench.

The snow began to pick up some...

but...

as it was light...

I didn't have to clear any snow from my driveway.

I then installed the glass door.

I then put on the roof panel.

I reconnected the wiring...

and I had to jerry-rig a holder for the CD player to keep it from sliding out when

the interior panel opened from the inside...

as some parts were lost during my move.

I also had to put in another interior ceiling bulb as the original one blew out

when I turned it on.

It had become damaged during the move...

but...

I put in an amber bulb...

which I liked more anyways.

It originally had a fluorescent bulb..

which was too harsh of a color.

The amber light adds some softer ambiance.

After testing the electrical components...

I then emplaced the top dust cover.

I then moved over the beds.

This is the sauna as it now sits.

There is now a more balanced look to the room.

I packed up the moving blankets and moved them down to the garage.

I just have to take the tools off of the bed.

But...

the room now is free from the clutter the still packed IR Sauna had made before.

You can see the amber interior light more clearly here.

It is the same type of bulb I use in my room.

Of course...

I have the option to turn on or off the interior and exterior lights at will.

While inside...

I normally use it without any lights on...

unless it is night time.

The following photos are the view from inside the IR Sauna.

The camera overexposed the outside in this shot.

Although the outside looks like this...

the inside is under exposed in this shot.

In real life...

the combination of the above two photos gives you a true view.

From inside...

I may listen to beautiful music as I look out the front windows.

With the door open...

I may also see outside the third deck from inside.

I have many more projects to do...

but...

only on Toller Time  :)

Now...

I have my choice of a Steam Sauna on the first floor...

or the Infrared Sauna on the third floor.

But...

I think I will be using this Infrared Sauna the most...

and I will only use the Steam Sauna with guests...

or perhaps...

when I get a cold...

as it will greatly help with congestion.

----------------

As I had completed another project...

I think I will start practicing the cover instrumental song more...

and perhaps...

finish up my research for my next novel.

It will be a very long process...

but I enjoy incremental progress in my passions.

It is what so greatly flavors life.
