Building a DIY Tiny Sauna On a Budget

What happens here

The interior electrical wiring is initiated by installing a waterproof junction box and running liquid-tight flexible conduit (LFNC-B) through pre-drilled holes in the wall. The 6-gauge electrical wire (black, white, green) is fed through the conduit and connected inside the junction box, ensuring a water-tight seal. The wires are then fed back out and connected to a waterproof control panel mounted on the exterior wall. Inside, LED strip lights are installed along the ceiling coves and under the benches, connected to a power supply/transformer. Two round marine-grade Bluetooth speakers are installed into holes drilled in the cedar walls. All wiring is neatly tucked away or routed through conduit for safety and aesthetics. The Vevor 9kW sauna heater is then mounted to the wall, and its electrical connections are made inside the heater's junction box, following diagram instructions. The heater's temperature probe is also installed. The exterior control panel is connected and activated.

Goal: The Vevor 9kW sauna heater is mounted, electrical conduit is installed, and all interior electrical components, including LED lighting and speakers, are wired.

any good link suggestions for the next project i' love to hear them cuz the tin roof would have been awesome you know hearing all the metal oh not the metal hearing all the the rain dropping on the metal that'd be pretty cool but going to do traditional classic stringle three tab kind of layout full piece 3/4 piece and then a quarter piece and then we're just going to continue our pattern nail it right into the white line get your butt joints nice and tight and just smooth sailing from there [Music] [Applause] [Music] that was the dumbest Hammer technique you'll see in your life [Music] so I'm just dapping up with silicone the nail caps of the last row of shingles I doubled up on them to make sure there's no seams there and uh apart from shingle caps there's really not a whole lot you can do uh when it's just slanted like this so uh this will be just fine cover those up and uh we're ready to move on all right so this is that design change we're talking about I got tongue and groove beautiful Cedar going to line it right underneath there that's going to look so cool with this color might have to add a few more backers right there this little pieces but I think for the most part we should be good as long as uh I got good transition pieces this should go pretty well with some brad nails with the exterior all done it's time to move to the interior and handle all the electrical so we know that we got uh the Sonic heater is going to be right here we get the extra blocking in there we got to focus on giving it power uh based off the heater that I got which I'll show you guys later this is a six gauge wire that's what's needed we got white black we got ground and the most important part we need the waterproofing conduit for it so the plan here is going to be to feed it through here put a watertight junction box there run it across we're going to notch it put plates on the sides and kick it out that way so it can go to where my hot tub used to connect it's going to be a lot of tugging and pulling [Music] what [Music] so we have our six gauge wire coming out of this junction box in a watertight seal conduit coming out in a watertight seal conduit for our heater the next step on electrical is we need to put some outlets on the back and the reason why is I got a lot of cool things I want to put in here I got waterproof LED lights to illuminate like the bench and maybe a little bit on the top I got uh speakers Bluetooth speakers that are going in here they're Marine…
