It's LEGO - a reindeer made of LEGO in December
- that should be cool - maybe even cold. I searched for it on the Internet .... If I had the LEGO parts I think I could have built it myself - I grew up with LEGO. Did you ever watch the TV series where John May of Top Gear fame played big scale? Well, among other things he built a house from LEGO. LEGO house  |

That's surely every kids dream house. Now i want one.
hmmm how to make house of Legos keep the heat in -30 C temperatures...That's the question. Lego sauna... How to make Legos last in over 100 C temperatures... well i'm sure i can think of something. Sauna legos might need to be made out of wood and without paint to last the heat and that isn't building it from Legos anymore. Legos aren't Legos without those Lego colors. :D |

Oh, that got you excited
me, too ...Now you know what to buy for Christmas  I think we can have an exception for sauna LEGOs made from pine - but you're right: Everything else need to be in the correct bright LEGO colours. BTW that pine wood in the sauna is unbelievably hot! I find the house very pretty. If you look through the link, the issue of insulation is discussed. By design there is *some* insulation as the blocks are hollow, but there are too many of what we in Denmark call "cold bridges" - solid material with no insulation whatsoever. |

Lego sauna!? Pine! Stop Madam!
----------------------------------------Sauna made from slow grown Nordic spruce only! cool to touch reflects heat evenly. Everything else made from Lego I can live with, cold bridging is a problem in all architecture not just Lego,     |

Cold bridging
- so that's the proper expression. Cold bridge was close enough for you to pick up on it, sunfolk. I hope I can remember it next time I need it. Not exactly an expression used for daily conversation ...  Thanks. Sorry about the pine/spruce confuse, tho, Sir! BUT! - not one to let a chance for a discussion fly her by I just read that "Western Red Cedar is the wood of choice for saunas" The sauna I used thrice has what to me looks like plain, ordinary, inexpensive pine walls, ceiling and shelves ... But what does our real specialist say about that? Which wood would you use, LTDAkiles? From LEGO trees?   |

Well i'm not professional builder and when it comes to wood i know it grows somewhere and are mostly green ;) Just kidding here, but i know making of sauna is better to leave for professionals. Soon to be wifes dad build smokesauna year ago and it was build underground. It's amazing and the steam is something else and you smell is smoky rest of the day. It's like forefather of modernday saunas and you need to ecperience it once a lifetime.
Here is something from wiki: The savusauna (smoke sauna) is a special type of sauna without a chimney. Wood is burned in a particularly large stove and the smoke fills the room. When the sauna is hot enough, the fire is allowed to die and the smoke is ventilated out. The residual heat of the stove is enough for the duration of the sauna. This represents the ancestral type of sauna, since chimneys are a later addition. Smoke saunas have experienced great revival in recent years since they are considered superior by the connoisseurs. They are not, however, likely to replace all or even most of the regular saunas because more skill, effort and time (usually most of the day) are needed for the heating process. |
