Sauna Companies Hate Me For Building This

What happens here

Before interior finishes, electrical wiring is roughed in. The builder is shown drilling holes through the wooden studs to route electrical cables for the sauna heater and any interior lighting. An electrical box is installed at the desired location for a switch or outlet. This step requires careful planning and adherence to electrical codes.

Goal: Run electrical lines for power and lighting
