“Almost Heaven!”🤗
Today was just a typical shopping trip to Costco, until Silvertop’s eyes caught a glimpse of what you can see in the third photo!😇
“Liz…. Is that a wooden Hot Tub?”☺️
“Silvertop we already have a Hot Tub, and actually it’s a Barrel Sauna!”🥰
Silvertop couldn’t resist climbing inside, it’s just the perfect size for two people!😊
We have always wanted a Sauna!
In Colorado, Silvertop even started to hand peel Lodgepole Pine logs, I was attempting to custom hand craft a Sauna!
Alas…. the Colorado Sauna was never completed………
This was “Before the internet” and parts particularly the electric heater or wood-burning heater, needed to be shipped to our Mountain home at a premium price!🙄
Living in the High Country of Colorado, is like living in Hawaii……… EXPENSIVE!
Just ask my friend @tydynrain who lives on the big island!😊
A Sauna isn’t exactly in the near future plans, but………..😇☺️
I asked Chat GPT to do some research on Saunas, and this is what AI found out for me!😊

“Silvertop…. The sauna goes back well over a thousand years as an institution in Finnish culture. It wasn’t originally a luxury spa. The sauna was essentially an extremely clean, warm place where Finns could wash, relax and care for the family. Historically, saunas were even used for childbirth and for preparing the deceased for burial.
The traditional Finnish sauna uses a kiuas, or sauna stove, which heats a pile of stones. You heat the room, then pour water over the hot stones. That creates the burst of steam called löyly. It’s the combination of intense dry heat and those periodic waves of steam that gives a traditional sauna its characteristic experience.”😊

At $2,999.00 this Sauna kit is meant for outdoor use, is actually selling for a good price!
Like they say………”when Bitcoin “Moons”, there will be signs!😇🤗💪
“Liz exactly what are you supposed to do with this bundle of Birch Branches?”😳🤣
Till tomorrow….. keep Stacking my friends, Silvertop Mike 😊

We bought the 4 person barrel sauna from Costco for around $5 k about 10 years ago and set it up in the basement since it arrived in December and we wanted to try it out immediately …. The cedar is very thick and keeps the steam in/… so we left it setup down there and enjoy all year round …. We did need an electrician to hard wire to the Power Panel. I just had a sauna and swim this afternoon …. Means we keep our untreated pool open for cold plunge all the way at to November …. Best purchase ever …. Next to the 4 kayaks
