I built a mobile, wood-fired sauna. It's 8.5 feet wide, 12 feet long and 13.5 feet tall. It seats 6. I like to run it 180-210 °F.
Well, it was mobile until the axles ripped off on its maiden voyage. Now it's up on skids until I get the courage to throw another $4,000 at new axles (and wheels, tires and leaf springs since I have to go up to the next class).
My brothers and my dad helped me disassemble a tiny house in someone's backyard in Cambridge in June 2021 during a heat wave:

There were quite a few gotchas, one being that once I installed the rafters I realized I had to reduce the pitch in order to be able to get under New England highway bridges (14 feet):

I've been meaning to write about the accident (the axles completely sheared off one side of the trailer) that happened a bit over a year ago but have been too busy enjoying the sauna and working on some other projects!
