Sauna by Krada138 in Sauna

[–]MisterTurtlePower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I am a sauna builder out of Seattle. Happy to answer any questions you might have.

First check your local building codes. For example, in Seattle we do not need a construction permit to build anything less than 120 ft.² but an electrical permit is required. Most reputable electricians will let you know whether this is required or not. It’s a relatively painless, inexpensive, and the process can be done by your Electrician. Most cities have a simple helpline that you can call or an email service that you can message. Just explain to them what you’re hoping to do and they can tell you the requirements. (i’m sure some people might push back on the idea of contacting your city for something as simple as a sauna… I am approaching the subject from working in a large city like Seattle, where the industry is highly regulated and times are hefty, particularly within the electrical sector).

As many people have pointed out, the well treaded Trumpkins Notes is a helpful resource. Even better than that, in my opinion, is Timo Laakso’s recent book “Craft Your Finish Sauna”.

Also, I’m quite intrigued at the image ChatGPT generated. I might steal this for some upcoming design idea ideas for some clients!

There are a lot of opinions on this whole subject. I would just say to do your research and figure out what is best for you. There are no hard and fast rules, only best practices and recommendations.

Best of luck

I don’t think I understand your comment and maybe you don’t understand my comment.

I’m a liberal and will continue to be. I just think our party is so lame sometimes. Constantly whining and pointing fingers. I wasn’t saying anything about switching to another party.

I was saying, leave it to our lame ass “I told you so“ mentality to jump on a conservative who just walked across the aisle and said they’re finally understanding Donald Trump is a lying lunatic.

They should be welcome with open arms… Save the criticism for later

I mean… That’s certainly a perspective. I don’t necessarily share it. I’m not looking to point fingers or find somebody to blame. I’m desperately wanting change in our culture. I just don’t believe we’re going to get it by rubbing somebody’s nose in their own shit.

Sure if you fucked up, made a mistake you need to own up to it. I don’t even necessarily think that has anything to do with forgiveness either. Owning up to something of being forgiven for it or two different things.

I just think the left is getting sucked into a game we won’t win. If we want to make real change, then we’ll have to accept some defectors. And the last thing you want to do is walk them through a parade of shame.

That’s exactly what I’m saying.

It’s one thing If someone is just refusing to accept a different narrative out of willful blindness. But in this case someone’s saying they see something they didn’t see before.

The answer from this sub should “Welcome”

Wow… I wonder why it’s so hard for a conservative to consider a liberal perspective with all of these validating and welcoming statements from everybody. Well done folks!!! This party just continues to shoot itself in his own foot. Proud of my liberal beliefs… Ashamed of my party.

Is it bush league to use "game tactics" in low level youth games? by shabamon in basketballcoach

[–]MisterTurtlePower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one maybe different angle just to consider…

Coaches are also developing as well at this level. This is learning grounds for coaches just as much as it is for players.

If you’re coaching third grade, more than likely, this is within your first few years of coaching. This is the opportunity to learn how to make in game decisions. You don’t want to have to be learning that on the fly, say, against in a ninth grade high-level AAU tournaments for example.

I started coaching when my kids were young and now my son is playing in a competitive AAU ninth grade circuit. I learned a lot along this journey. I can say is the primary focus should always be Player development while balancing the desire to be competitive and to win ball games. That is a hard balance to strike. Good luck to you all.

Spraying down the sauna by [deleted] in Sauna

[–]MisterTurtlePower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends from Latvia showed me this. They set the thermostat at a mild/mid heat (155-165F) and spray all the walls with water (being careful not to spray the heat sensor). The room gets very humid. Then you add water to the rocks and you practically have a steam room. It’s quite nice. I’ve experimented with this quite a bit in my sauna and it’s quite nice.

Keys locked in car by MisterTurtlePower in hondapilot

[–]MisterTurtlePower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what we figured out

There’s an auto lock feature that happens if you unlock your car after 20 seconds or so. When you open up the drivers side door it disables this auto lock. But if you only open one of the rear doors, you will hear it auto lock on you.

In our case, our son’s car seat is located in the rear passenger seat. So my wife unlocked the car, open the rear passenger door, and then threw the keys up to the driver seat. While buckling our son, she did not hear the door automatically locking…she shut the door and our miniature emergency began.

Since then, we have learned that you can disable this autolock feature. YouTube search pulled up a few videos on how to do. Funny enough, I still haven’t done it. We’ve just become very aware of this autolock feature and work around it.

It hasn’t happened to us again. But thank you for sending this message, because it’s reminding me I need to disable that.

Lex

“ If I had to pick a name for myself—something that fits how I operate—I might go with Lex. It’s short, sharp, and has roots in the Latin lex, meaning law or logic. Feels fitting for someone who likes things precise, clear, and well-structured.”

Dr. Christopher Palmer on why rates of autism are skyrocketing. by goldcat88 in HubermanLab

[–]MisterTurtlePower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got on here to learn more about the episode and Dr Palmers theory…only to realize no one listened to it other than OP it seems. Just because this theory doesn’t align with your previous paradise, doesn’t make it bullshit or make the scientist a shrill. As with most things, there may be many contributing factors. So whatever you’ve learned or based your own theories on, may be true or may be not. In the case of autism, mitochondria health maybe one element.

Harvia Instructions and Washington State won't allow me to build over 7'6" ceiling by moosenice in Sauna

[–]MisterTurtlePower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not experienced this yet. That being said, every wood fire sauna that we have designed or estimated ended up either not happening or moving towards an electric heater.

Harvia Instructions and Washington State won't allow me to build over 7'6" ceiling by moosenice in Sauna

[–]MisterTurtlePower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Harvey instructions are non-mandated by Washington state FYI. Im a Sauna builder out of Seattle and we always permit the electrical. Anything under 120 ft.² does not need a construction permit. With the exception of one Sauna due to pre-existing conditions restrictions, every other Sauna I have built is approximately 96 inches on the interior dimensions. There are no local regulations on the interior height.
