Day 49: Sauna, Doors, and Final Paint

On Monday and Tuesday (Days 48 & 49, 18th–19th March) a lot of work happened again. Following up from the arrival of the sauna stove, the sauna benches are now installed. The stove will come later since it needs to be wired in by an electrician.

Also the doors are now installed. The photo above shows the door separating the vestibule from the hallway and the rest of the house. The cable above the door is probably for the door bell. Let's hope it's not going to be a totally horrible sound – we didn't get to choose that!

Also the door to the shower room (above) and the clear-glass door between shower and sauna are now installed.

Finally, the last bit of unpainted space got its finishing: the small bathroom's rear wall is now painted in an intense green ("Lime").

More Stuff Arrived

On 15th March, no work was done at the house, and therefore we do not count this day. However,  more stuff appeared on the yard. The palette above contains a pile of doors and door frames. One of the most important items for the whole project is in the unremarkable small white box on top of the doors, the content of which will be revealed in the next photo.

Yep, it's the sauna heater, or "kiuas" in Finnish. There's also a box of stones to fill the heater with. Yes, we'd also like a bath, but a sauna is a decent start anyway for now.

More essentials were delivered on another palette, two toilets, toilet seats, and sinks. All of these new deliveries will be installed in the near future, starting next week. In between we have some more painting to do in order to finish the fireplace. More about that tomorrow.
