How to Build a Sauna inside a Shed

What happens here

Build the interior dividing wall by first cutting the pressure-treated base plate to the desired length. Securely anchor this plate to the concrete floor using Tapcon concrete anchors and a cordless drill. Assemble the rest of the wall frame on the floor, including vertical studs (jack studs) placed 16 inches on center, and horizontal blocking for reinforcement. Build a door header by sandwiching a piece of 1/2-inch OSB or plywood between two 2x4s to achieve the correct width. Once the wall frame is assembled, lift it into place and secure it to the base plate and the existing shed structure, ensuring it is perfectly level. Install the header and trim studs to finalize the doorway opening.

the same as that let's start framing [Music] the most important part is anchor it down to the ground and make sure it's leveled make sure you get as many securing points as you can i got my my jack studs up these are 16 inches on center they're reinforced right here to keep them from swaying i got the trim studs that will go on the inside and the header will sit on top of it so can't believe we're building a sauna it's happening all right in case you're wondering what's this wood sandwich you're making so this is a header and typically headers are either two by six or two by ten or two by twelve whatever the structure is of two by four the actual dimensions are one and a half by three and a half now the width three and a half when you sandwich two together you're still missing a half an inch that's why you'd put osb down the middle or any kind of a half inch piece of wood to make this to be the width of a two by four board which is actually one and a half by three and a half so learn something new huh
