The light
Again, I had a wall wounted light but bought this one as its meant to be able to stand very high temperatures. Its connected to the connector behind the wall with heatproof cable. I was keen to get it fitted so I could see what I was doing. It has a white bulb in now but they sold me a ‘heavy duty rough grade’ orange bulb – another ‘don’t use any old bulb’. I’ll change it when the thing gets going.

Aluminised vapour barrier
and a wall and a half of wood. Its an easy job. I’m doing it all the cutting with a handsaw, unlike Axel, the sauna-building perfectionist with a great site.

Getting the door in
This is the first task and is suprisingly easy.

This is the ‘special’ wood
Its meant to be so well-seasoned that it won’t warp in 100 degrees c – ‘unlike diy store timber’. We will see. £23 per pack of 10 2.1m lengths.

Junk on the floor includes…
… my first Mac. Still works and runs at 8Mhz.
