If only this actually took 26 seconds… About two hours, two pairs of pants, a couple breaks, and a lot of laughter. Date nights look a little bit different when you own a business. We just put the kids to bed, crack some bubbly, and get after it. This client wanted us to match the sauna to their house. - which we are delivering this weekend. I can’t wait to see it in place.

When people wonder what I bring to the table… 😂💃🏼

Well, I do the marketing, social media, website, invoices, bookings, run the mobile sauna, answer every text & email, and basically make sure the whole thing keeps moving…

But when it comes to actually turning that sauna from an idea into something you can enjoy.. That’s Noel. 🔨🪚

I make it look pretty. He makes it exist.
It’s a pretty solid division of labour. 🤌🏼

And yes… sometimes my job is dancing in front of the camera while he works. Even if this is making me cringe to post this…

Another Custom Sauna Delivered!

Today we delivered this beautiful slanted-roof luxury sauna to Skeleton Lake, just outside Boyle!

With our tilt-deck trailer and a picker truck, we carefully placed this custom-built sauna right onto her front deck, exactly where it was designed to go.

And then there’s Terry… ☀️
She was an absolute sunshine of a person to work with. From all our back-and-forth calls and emails, to our on-site meeting where we designed every detail of her sauna together, the entire process was such a delight.

This sauna was built specifically to fit her deck perfectly, with the exterior intentionally left unfinished so Terry can finish it in half-log siding to complement her home and property.

Inside, she went with a Homecraft electric sauna heater for easy, convenient luxury heat. 🔥

There’s something so special about seeing a sauna go from an idea, to a design, to a finished build.. and finally seeing it in its new home. 🤎

Built to fit. Built to last. Built in Alberta.

Welcome home, sauna. 🪵🔥
