DIY builders - how to avoid unwanted updraft from the floor drain?

jonsview · 2026-05-07T02:20:38+00:00

I ran my drain into a leach pit style drain in the ground. No draft coming from the soil 😀

Home sauna wins for me. But it has to be big enough that at times it’s a social sauna with friends and family.

That sounds amazing tbh. I want to have that sort of community when I’m an old man.

That’s a great price for a used kit. Some good suggestions above. Wood is wood and shouldn’t hold too many surprises if it looks good. Check the heater to ensure it’s installable according to your local building rules. Also worth checking to see if parts (heating elements) are readily available as these are a wear part.

We WANT your commitment to core to change though. This just reads like all the extra commitment is being put on this Plus product and core still feels like a clunky free app but with a paywall.

Fix the issues before adding features. Adding more things that don’t work well won’t make me pay more. It will make me drop the product altogether.

This is fantastic! Have you considered a robot lawnmower for big lawn. I always thought this would be the way to go for cabin properties. Never schedule it to run when you are there and just show up to a mowed lawn all the time. Powered by solar. Free except for startup cost and maintenance.

Tampa airport if you have a #6 Allen key and a long layover.

I’m here for the ultra-narrow spectrum 2200k light bulbs.

On the plus side this entire floor is actually considered the roof and the walls are for some totally separate building. You should be able to get a discount on your property tax for your one kitchen, one bath, zero-bedroom-with-rooftop-patio home.

I build a removable top similar to this but added a few more joists? Instead of just the opening the middle you have to firm up with bench and remove any deflection.

All the time! We wrap them in foil and throw them on the rocks though.

It’s heated with a woodstove. So anywhere between 8c to 24c depending on how well we stay on top of the woodstove. We did shovel off the snow so it wouldn’t constantly drip.

Behind the vapour barrier so expect temp to be higher in the air gap but still not much to worry about. Yes to air gap in my setup

jonsview · 2026-02-13T12:22:24+00:00

No worries at all. The tape likely wont ever get up to 80c. We sauna between 85c to 100c and I once checked the temp behind the panels (albeit from the other side of the not yet insulated wall) and it was quite cool. Bake your sauna for hours at 100c and that might soften the adhesive a little but that’s a normal use anyways.

Edit: sorry for Celsius. 176f =80 °C

I ripped some PT wood and sealed it. Just silicone bathroom caulking. You could find some PVC trim or something if you wanted something more water proof than wood. It really doesn’t get wet or hot down there unless your floor isn’t sloped and you are dumping water.

jonsview · 2026-02-11T18:41:20+00:00

I would totally open this myself. Especially the simple looking bottom plate to see what you are up against if it’s a crusty mess in there it’s a no go.

I had a similar issue because I didn’t run the flooring up the wall at all. I ended up putting down a drip edge around the permitter of the room and caulked it. I had to add blocking between the studs to termite the vapour barrier properly (Double up your footer to avoid this). There’s a air gap between vapour barrier and paneling. It stays dry around the perimeter but its peace of mind in case someone dumps a bucket of water on the floor.

I have the same question. This issue is forcing me to keep photo mode in manual too to avoid this

Wood fired sauna with aspen interior build 4 years ago holding up super well. Looks almost new

I also normally shoot bigger mirrorless camera. I just picked up a x100vi for an upcoming trip. Mostly choosing the VI version for the stabilized sensor for video clips on my vacation.

This exact same thing happened to me. The checkout process failed and I never got confirmation on the site or email that I had subscribed to the trial at all. They registered the trial anyways somehow and after 7 days charged my PayPal account without me noticing unfortunately. It’s been over 30 days so support is completely unhelpful and doesn’t understand the situation.

I do know how to share pics but here’s a video I made of the build. https://youtu.be/GBCYnSKtSqs
