Excellent joy

thanks for the info. amazing how knowledge can save a person . you save me so much time. question? how do you pay the interest on the (hloc) ?from your employment income? thank you 1000 times!!!!

Still trying to figure out what cooling system will go in my home. The original central unit caused damage to my ceiling by bringing it down. Replaced roofing and don't plan on doing that type because of potential leaks in ceiling. Then had a company give me quotes on central heating even though it sounds like the only option for me and the cost was outrageous at $14000. Have very small attic and doing mini split system will only create more holes to walls. Not sure what to get at this point.

I have never seen this and have used saws for 30+ years. I hate messes and the dust in my eyes and face but deal with it. Grew up on a construction site. This changes today. Thank YOU!

Did you use a stain on the cedar? Maybe its just the light but it looks like western red cedar with maybe a stain applied?

I am going to use 1 layer, otherwise it will be to expensive. Excellent video

How many bags did you end up filling for the 1500 sq ft attic?

great job. Totally agree with lights. I installed only 2 lights under the benches and it is more than enough. No need for ceiling lights as they only irritate and cost more.

So what happened to the sauna? Are you going to show us?????? No pictures no nothing? Worst video ever.

can two people normally sit in your sauna? i am thinking about doing the same size as you, but i would like to have company sometimes

Do you recommend directly screwing the channels to the floor joists or to create a strapping in the ceiling before installing? Thanks

So I have one apartment paid off and with step there’s $130K loc can I use this amount for a down payment or a new investment property rent it out and use this smith maneuver method today in 2024?

Thank you so much for covering this beautiful project. Super helpful! :)

I have a question, I have followed ur lead on how to build the sauna and I believe I have done a decent job following ur lead! In that note what did you treat the cedar wood with or have you treated the wood at all? Thnx again.

Landscape fabric = possible to get mold ?

You love to show your own face more than sauna…

As a Finn, I must tell you that you made a mistake building those wooden walls all the way down to the floor. Those will get rotten. Correct way is to install tiles for the first 20 cm from the floor and then continue with the wood paneling for the rest of the way.

I think with my tendency to faint, this thing would probably kill me, but my Finnish friend says it's an acceptable build. The builder needs to learn to talk SI units tho.

Looks great, thank you. What circuit breaker voltage do you recommend, 20, 30 AMP? You didn't really cover the electrical works given that you're a licensed electrician I would like to hear your recommendations. TIA

Any showroom in Chicago

Going to give this a go this weekend. We just pulled up shag carpet to discover concrete. Not a basement, just an office. Anything you'd do differently for a room on a slab?

Thanks for the video! I've no idea how much of a difference it may make but I read earlier today that instead of overlapping the channels it is also a good idea to keep a 1/16th inch gap between them to ensure greater isolation.

A few questions…. Do you only need 1 return for the whole system? Does that system run off an air to water heat pump or air to air? How is the power usage? I am looking to go this route. Looking to get a gas hydronic system for the heat but figured if I went heat pump for the cooling system, I would have the option to feed that into my heated floor system. Like if gas got too expensive or hard to deliver. I like my options!!

Imagine the electricity bill. I jerry rigged a little sauna and it get to 130 in less than 2 minutes.

Could I do this on a concrete slab for a porch cage/3 seasons room???

very informative - would a person still use the landscape fabric if there is already vinyl tile on the basement floor that the sub floor is going over ? (the tile is directly attached to the concrete floor , 1958 basement )

Thanks babe

You didn't explain this very well. When you make payments on your mortgage, it doesn't "roll over" into your LOC. Your LOC is what's left in the worth of your house. If your house is worth $500,000 (regardless what you paid for it), and you have a mortgage of $200,000, then you have $300,000 available in your HELOC (Home Equity Line Of Credit). As your mortgage goes down from paying it, your LOC max goes up. IE if I have a mortgage payment of $2000 and $1500 of that is principle, now my mortgage is $198,500 and the money available in my HELOC is $301,500.

Of all the myriads of sauna builders on YT, finally one who gets it right. (said in my capacity of being born and raised in Finland)

Use 1" screws so you don't have to worry about hitting your joists.

Hey Dwight! When are you going to post more videos?!

So when you follow this and it comes Tax season. What are you filling out to get the tax refund?

did you use pressure treaded lumber for the base plate of your walls? Im planning out my own sauna project, but I wasnt sure if mixing a confined space, heat, and the chemicals in pressure treated lumber is a good idea.

Are you still replying to messages?

Question for you - wouldn’t the expenses on the income property already be tax deductible? Would that mean that, come tax season, you’re claiming the same expense twice?

Well explained thank you

Hi, Thanks for the info. Great explanation. I'm in the process of implementing the strategy and you said that you're using Simplii to transfer from your LOC. I don't know if Wealthsimple offed a checking accounts when you made this video but now they do and I'm wondering if you’re still using Simplii or you changed to the checking account in Wealthsimple and if you haven't switch, why not? Thanks

For people concerned about the tile being slippery, apply a coating of stone grip or other non-slip coating to the tile. We use it on all our stone/tile floors and smooth finish concrete decks.

i wish you would add the item (model/part#) of the stuff you are install, using to include the tools. Maybe future since this is over 5yrs old

How much did that spray foam cost?

Insulation should be below or above electrical wires? Youra is touching the reslient channel.

"You do not have to have a floor drain ...." Yes, you do. Saunas need to be scrubbed down regularly, to avoid bacteria build up. If they're not kept clean, you can risk a health problem as people sweat profusely in saunas. There's also something like a flash point in a sauna when the atmosphere undergoes a sudden change ... it's something you'lll experience when the temperature is significantly higher than the temperature you suggested---get the room as hot as you usually do, but then pour two or three scoops of water on the rocks to get the room hotter still, when the steam has evaporated, follow with two or three more scoops and you'll eperience it. If you don't the room is not hot enough. It's very relaxing and cleansing. If you haven't experienced this peculiarity about saunas, then you haven't been in a sauna.

Good stuff. Best sauna construct I’ve seen

Hey Dwight, Thanks for this very informative and mind blowing strategy. Did you manage your own investment or thru Financial planner/adviser?

Great Video, Can I claim this rebate in Vancouver or it is only available to claim in Toronto? Thank you.

Great video. Did you need to do anything special for your Scotia STEP? I have my mortgage and a large HELOC that I split into 2. How does it truly re-advance? Is it automatic or does the bank need to set something up for that once principal is paid down it opens up on the HELOC side. Thanks!

Great editing and summary of your zoned high-velocity system. It's a massive upgrade compared to a traditional single-zone furnace heating source. Also, your air handler can provide heat using hot water or heat pump, meaning it can modulate the heating output based on the required load, unlike a furnace.

Nobody rents vacs in Little Rock! I think I’m gonna have to sweep I out all that cellulose. 😭

So did you put anything between the OSB and the laminate?

You mentioned a "Smith" account, but can you not go straight from HELOC into a brokerage account?
