  1. Looks wonderfully exciting! You DO have a lovely place for the available summer weeks . . . Am grinning trying to make head and tail of the Finnish . . . Estonians are ‘vowel-crazy’ – the Finns even more so . . . the two languages are meant to be brotherly . . . I must admit to ofttime problems . . . 🙂 !

    So much wood – it really makes us jealous. Do you heat your sauna with wood? We heat ours with electricity; we need the wood for our open fire in the living room.

    1. We use wood in the sauna and we also use wood in the house we have two fireplaces that gather heat, Nice soft warmth. At home we have electricity, but we really don’t use it. And for the wood that is only half of it. We had to cut down seven 80 year old birches… you can calculate that

      1. We have a gas powered central heating but prefer heating with wood. As there are few woods around here, wood is quite expensive therefore we use our open fires not regularly.

  3. That’s exciting. I’ve done a lot of this kind of work, and it’s challenging and fun at the same time. I wish you all the best as you move forward. I look forward to seeing the finished project (and perhaps some progress pictures 🙂
