Up in the NT there's some hot springs out towards Daley River Renner hot springs I'm sure their called anyhow.

Local fellow decided to sit in the springs and have a few beers you know replace lost fluids and such.
Well old mate fell asleep in said hot spring and well he never woke up

Yup cooked him.

Now not saying you could fall asleep in there FrostyBeach but please don't @Donoroto s Sous Vide just might happen to you!

Thanks Ben... We will ensure that wont happen. The last time I was in OZ was for the bicentenary in 1988. I think it's time for another visit.

Thank you Ben. Temp checked with a thermopen: View attachment 28140

Holly Smokes , you could smoke ribs in that thing

One must be careful....

On the other hand, if you kept it at 152, you could mash in there.

Indeed but the air water interface would take longer than a sauna. It's still 75 F in there right now. There's 1/2 ton of stove and stone and then the tile and cement in the floor. Good thing I insulated under the floor too.

But it's a dry heat! haha

My sauna is on a timer and automatically shuts off in 1 hour. It also only goes up to 170°.
Yours actually scares me! haha

 

[FrostyBeach]

I thought it would be nice to monitor the sauna temperature from in the house. So, I uncovered my box of electronic tinker toys and whipped up a wifi temp web server on an esp8266 micro controller.

And tonight we finally got some winter weather where it was cold enough to freeze my water glass testing out the new benches:

I'm pretty sure I'm adding a project to my upcoming summer.
The deck is due to be replaced and I'm thinking a little bigger.
Thinking a 16×24 and more

You know if you trim the shrubbery it'll look bigger.

I have to replace the decking on my front deck this yeat also. It seems like every year I have to replace a couple of rotting boards. I am going to do the whole thing this time in the plastic wood. When my foot went through one of the boards last year ,I figured it finally time.

This is the vision.
Getting quotes now for the foundation, framing, windows, roofing, siding and fireplace.
It'll hurt the savings, but it is our forever home!

Very nice!

Love that plastic wood. Lasts forever.
