Basement Sauna Build
I'm paralyzed by over analysis and need some direction. I've got a storage room space in my basement that I intend to convert into a Finnish style sauna. Pictures HERE I intent to build the pipe into the wall separating the sauna from the changing room space. There is a mini fridge cut out that I plan to frame out since that space would be unused in my planned sauna configuration anyways. Intended sauna footprint is 82" deep x 72" wide x 90" tall (83" under I-Beam). Ventilation will go through the box sills and outside using AC Infinity HVAC fans. My current challenge (first of a lot) is figuring out how to achieve a drained floor. There is no obvious The options my non-construction mind has concocted are the following: 1) Put a tee fitting into the 4" stack above grade and build the sauna space up 3-4" in order to create a sloped floor 2) Bust out the concrete near the drain stack and excavate the dirt around the drain pipe, add the p-trap and piping below grade, and bring up a 2" pvc drain under the slab. I'm looking for feedback on these options. Insight into methods for exterior ventilation through faux stone exterior facing would be helpful also. submitted by /u/btone911 [link] [comments]
