Step-by-Step Instructions for an Outdoor Sauna

This is the book I was looking for -- a simple, direct description of how to build an outdoor sauna. The author, Mochi Kaimu, built his wood-fired sauna near a stream, on his property in Northern Vermont. He documents the process in simple stages like laying a foundation, building the floor deck, the wall panels, sheathing and roofing. Kaimu does not assume any prior construction knowledge, so even unhandy dolts, like myself, can follow the process. I will refer back to this book, as I sketch out the plans for my own sauna-building project.
