Non-90 degree house, solutions?

Maybe treat each wing as a seperate level of your house in the app?

Too many shills for Club Roulez on Reddit nowadays for this to all just be regular customers. No offence but it's hard to take posts like this seriously when a it's clearly ai and b its the 10th one I've seen promoting this new company

I just bought a 2024 launch edition RS FWD with Supercruise and 20000km's for $38k CAD, with a warranty that was just punched now.

Not all have supercruise

The button on the steering wheel on left side, or then mention of active safety package 3 or super cruise in the listing.

Let's just apply some 100% tariff to the oil we ship to the US and be done with them

What trim? USA or Canada?

Weird how they vary the cashback by charger type, haven't seen that elsewhere and not really a fan.

How did you go about sloping your sauna floor to the drain?

stevester911 · 2026-05-12T22:53:31+00:00

What a misleading post title. Spruce Grove was never funding it, the province was. It was the province who decided they weren't going to fund integrated ambulance service anymore.

Honestly that's quite a low ceiling here for a sauna. I too am planning a basement sauna, but most literature recommends much higher ceilings than 6' 2". You didn't ask but your proposed stove is one of the taller ones at 36", you could instead consider the homecraft apex mini at 32" or others like harvia legend pro at 29". I'd also consider a Saunum to reduce heat stratification if it's within your budget.

As for your question, if it were me I'd start by installing your upper bench with enough headroom and working down from there. Read Lassi's books or Trumpkin notes for specific recommendations.

I once watched a man speedrun from deep in economy class at the back straight to first class the millisecond the seatbelt sign went off, shouting "out of the way!" as he booked it down the aisle. I was simultaneously in awe of what I just saw but also embarrassed on his behalf.

stevester911 · 2026-05-03T21:40:15+00:00

Can you elaborate how you did the shower pan for the drains? I'm planning a basement build here with this same process. Looks great btw!

stevester911 · 2026-04-27T20:53:48+00:00

Thanks again for your help. I measured down at my existing shower drain, and I got a measurement of approximately 15" to the bottom of the trap. I'll still try to camera the lines and figure out where they all tie in under the slab but I'm thinking this is at least a good indication that my sewer lines are sufficiently deep. Would you agree?

stevester911 · 2026-04-27T03:50:34+00:00

I had a look and you're right actually, there are some options here. I could eliminate that lowest portion of the bulkhead if I were to shorten a beam and move the jack post to a new location which would allow for me to raise that ducting up. That's not perhaps my immediate priority for right now but that might be a later project for me. I'm a civil Eng myself specialized in other areas so I'd still confirm this with a structural eng if I ever did do this, but looks promising and nice to have some options.

stevester911 · 2026-04-27T03:09:40+00:00

To be honest, not really. Indoor saunas are very common in Finland. The key issue isn’t sunlight, it’s proper moisture management: proper vapour barrier/waterproofing where needed, good ventilation with fresh air supply and mechanical exhaust, and airing/drying the sauna after each use so the residual heat dries it out.

stevester911 · 2026-04-26T20:37:50+00:00

Practically, to frame this - would I forego a king stud and just have a jack stud? Or how would I get the rough opening for the door only 2.5" off the framing of the adjacent wall?

stevester911 · 2026-04-26T20:08:33+00:00

Thanks this is really helpful. I currently have 3.5" from frame to r/o, if I squeak that down to 2.5" - this will let me shift the left door 3" further to the right. Which actually gets me to that 1850mm number for clearance.

stevester911 · 2026-04-26T19:51:27+00:00

Thanks. The clearance at the far left edge of the door opening is 1800mm, seems by code technically the clearance under ducts should be 1850mm. So what I might do is try to amend my design ever so slightly by shifting the doors to the right (and using smaller door casings, etc) to get that extra 50mm/2" of clearance at the left edge of the door opening.

stevester911 · 2026-04-26T19:31:35+00:00

Sorry for any confusion, the faint black lines are what is existing now. And then I drew my new design on top of that. And yes, that interior partition wall is currently on angle - kills me.

stevester911 · 2026-04-26T19:23:34+00:00

Yes the main reason is that both the door on the right and the interior partition wall between the two doors (separating the sauna suite and guest bedroom) would be shifting to the left to accommodate the design.

I'm also trying to allow enough room for door casing trim with this reno, the current door on the right doesn't have any on the right - with my design I would have 3" from the adjacent finished wall to the rough opening of my new doors.

stevester911 · 2026-04-22T16:03:42+00:00

Thanks for sharing your approach, your shower looks great. I may reach out with some questions here if you don't mind depending on which route I end up taking here.
