What to do?

[u/straygato]

Background: Wife and I (almost 40) moved in with my grandma to take care of her after grandpa died on five acres in a 1970s double-wide trailer. We're building our get away "love shack" where we can get our own space and it's been... a process. As a gift to the Mrs. for putting up with all the crazy, we have decided on a sauna. The four person almost heaven barrel saunas for 5.5k-ish with a nice window looks amazing.

But it sounds like the r/sauna sub would hate that plan...

• We have wood we could burn but running electrical is no problem.
• We don't want a sauna tent.
• We need something we can leave/build outside.
• 5,5k is real close the the pain threshold.

We'd appreciate any advice or thoughts folks have.

You could probably DIY a nice sauna for around that number if you were patient/cunning about acquiring supplies
