Building a Floating Platform For My Sauna 

Appreciate this a ton. Very few understand all that actually goes into filming solo work. Takes twice as long

Thanks for this message. :) it's definitely not the easiest working out here but I honestly thrive in a problem solving environment where I get to build something for myself

Respect to my fellow Illinois resident

It's coming along! Glad you're enjoying the videos

We rarely even get frosts that penetrate into ground where we are but code says it's at 6"

@@devonloerop that’s interesting. The frost line where I live in AZ is about 18” below grade. Anyways, great content.

@@shawnbrown8550 18" is the frost line there, there are a lot of potential mistakes in this overall build that could be hazardous and destructive, like these deck footings are probably not intended for such a heavy cabin with shear loads (wind loads) and a 10,000 lb snow load... they are not up to the task from my research, but I am not an engineer. For the cabin it's the equivalent of having just four 2.25 inch metal posts holding up the entire cabin alone, then on top of that the bolts are not intended to be adjusted once placed and set in the concrete, they may lose their holding strength if there is a wind that pulls it up and away or it may collapse into the concrete... probably fine, but it's not to code or to the specs of the Simpson Strong Tie deck footings. I'm not trying to rain on the parade, just trying to help make sure nobody gets hurt. monroewa.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5974/Code-Summary?bidId= www.ci.sultan.wa.us/171/Building Also the skylights are installed wrong and will probably leak and rot the wood in the future due to the flashing not being installed correctly. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-etid0oANZXs.html Again, not trying to be a downer just trying to be helpful. I love the build and his drive and work ethic. I recommend getting the important parts like the foundation checked by an engineer or the local city/county foundation inspector prior to occupation.

I cannot wait to post the next vid. I have it scheduled to go live tomorrow but I might just post it tomorrow cause I'm so pumped

Lol no pooping in my sauna

I really need to make a video explaining my story. Rehabbed a bunch of homes with my parents growing up, worked as a welder in high school, got a mechanical engineer degree moved to Seattle, saved all my money, still couldn't afford a normal home to invest in so I just said screw it I'll build my own

@@devonloerop I want to learn how to do these things. Do you think going and getting certified somewhere would be a good idea?

Not required in Washington state for a building that size.

@@cherimitchell8977 good

Thanks for watching! Glad you like them. I definitely do get frustrated though, the roof video was very R rated lol, but with some creative editing I spun it into a nice vid. That was one of the hardest things to do alone. 😅

It's done, tell me when you want it
