Waching daily Mar 30 2018

Hello everyone, I'm Breor, and welcome back to Goodgame Empire.

You might not believe me when I say this, but I've been pretty happy with the changes

Goodgame Studios has been making recently.

They brought back the Berimond Invasion, with great new prizes and updated equipment sets.

They introduced Royal Quests, which give even the most powerful players something to work

on.

They've even run the open test server a few times!

Even though I might not agree with all of the changes they've made recently, I can

still see where they're trying to take Goodgame Empire, and it makes sense.

Goodgame Empire is a good game, but that doesn't mean it's perfect.

The game has long been filled with small annoyances that, upon reflection, just don't make sense.

To that end, here are sixteen quick fixes for GGE.

Number 1: Make separate incoming horns for shapeshifters

When you're being attacked in Goodgame Empire, a red incoming horn appears with a red screen

outline.

It's pretty difficult to miss.

These visual cues inspire urgency on the behalf of the defender, who must rush into action

to pull together a defense.

This makes sense for attacks from real players, since the defender stands to lose troops and

potentially have his castle set afire.

Shapeshifter incomings, however, can't actually hurt the defender, so why should they get

the same visual warning?

If you were to be attacked by real players and a shapeshifter at the same time, this

similarity could be confusing.

It took me about thirty seconds in Photoshop to change the incoming horn to a unique color.

If you saw this horn appear, you'd know immediately a shapeshifter attack was incoming,

and not to change your defenses.

Number 2: Automatically sell equipment items and gems, and reorganize the equipment menu

If you're an active looter, you'll collect lots of equipment for which you have absolutely

no use.

In order to make room in your equipment inventory, you'll have to sell these pieces, which

proves remarkably tedious.

In order to sell a single equipment piece, you'll need to click three times.

It can take minutes to clear out one's whole inventory.

If the game is lagging, it can sometimes put sold equipment back into your inventory, which

you'll try to sell again only to receive an error message.

Level 70 players should be able to automatically sell ordinary, rare, epic, and even legendary

equipment items, at their choosing.

If not, here's another idea; click on one button to toggle a "sell equipment" mode,

and then click on each piece only once to sell it.

Furthermore, if you think selling regular equipment is bad, selling gems is even worse!

Gems of the same level and kind should stack onto one another, and should be able to be

sold in batches.

Number 3: Provide statistics for alliance members

Most large alliances track their members' participation in events and in the weekly

looting rankings.

That's because weekly loot is a great measure of a player's activity.

Looking up the loot of each player in your alliance is tremendously tedious.

Weekly loot, and perhaps a few other details, could easily be tracked on the alliance roster

page, just like daily glory points.

Better yet, information like this could have its own separate tab, with information from

previous weeks and all of that good stuff.

Number 4: Desertion warning When you run out of food in one of your castles,

any extra troops you can't feed will desert you.

This is pretty annoying when it happens while you're offline, but it's even more aggravating

when you're online and could've done something to prevent it.

An easy way to check your food reserves at all of your castles is to visit the storehouse,

but, while this tells you how much food you have, it doesn't tell you how long that

buys you.

Why not have a configurable desertion warning, that alerts you to move food over to one of

your castles?

Players should be able to adjust the time at which this warning appears.

For example, maybe a advanced player would want to know if he was ten minutes away from

starving, but a less advanced player might want to know if he was half an hour away from

starving.

Players should be given the choice.

Number 5: Music option Throughout this video so far, you've been

listening to the old theme of Goodgame Empire.

While the new music isn't as bad as some people make it out to be, I think the old music is

infinitely better, which is why I've added it in the background of all of my recent videos.

Judging by some of the comments I've received, I'm not alone in holding this opinion!

If you want to listen to the old music while you play Goodgame Empire, simply click the

link in the description and enable the "loop" feature.

You can do that by right-clicking on the video and selecting loop... then it will loop indefinitely,

just as it was designed to do in the game.

It's pretty easy, but it would be even easier to simply give players the option to pick

their music without having to leave the game!

Number 6: Longer troop stationing times When you support another member of your alliance,

you currently have the option of stationing your troops for one, six, or twelve hours.

I'd find it really useful if you could set more specific times, and also if you could

station your troops for up to a whole day.

This would be super beneficial for protecting outpost captures and/or using the safehouse

to protect your attackers.

Number 7: Moving decorations between castles When you earn a decorative item in Goodgame

Empire, you have to tell the game what castle to put it in.

You'll be stuck with that choice forever.

Goodgame Studios has been asked to countless times implement a "move decoration" feature,

but they said on the forums that this would be too difficult.

Why?

Players already have the option to sell decorative items, and obviously to receive them, so how

much harder could it be to put those two features together?

I should be able to sell my decorative item to receive a new copy of it that I could place

in a different castle.

To those who would argue that this makes raising one's public order much easier, I would agree,

since that's very much the point.

If a player captures an outpost with better decorations from another player, and simply

cannibalizes that outpost by moving the decorations to a different castle, that they actually

intend to keep, then I don't see the problem with that either.

Number 8: Moving between kingdoms glitch This is a super minor annoyance that has bugged

me for a long time.

I'm browsing my alliance roster when I decide to visit melp's castle in the burning sands.

Why not?

It looks nice!

Then, when I pull back to the world map, it's centered on my own castle.

To revisit melp, I have to type his name in again.

This glitch only happens when moving between kingdoms.

Obviously I'm not planning on attacking melp, but I encounter this problem a lot when

I'm looking for PVP targets.

I'm probably the only person who finds this annoying, but I'd appreciate a fix.

Number 9: Desertion and hospitalization order When you run out of food in your castle, your

troops will desert in an order determined by Goodgame Studios.

You might lose your strongest attackers or defenders, or you might be left with only

melee troops, for example.

When you lose troops in a fight or by desertion, they'll be placed in the hospital.

In the hospital, ruby troops are given priority, pushing coin troops out, but I don't know

anybody who actually spends rubies to heal ruby troops!

Players should be able to determine the prioritization order here, and if they want don't want

ruby troops to knock coin troops out of the hospital, they should be able to say that

too.

Number 10: Tool exchanges Take a look at this!

What do siege towers, grim ladders, candy cane ladders, bone ladders, and vine ladders

all have in common?

They all have the same effect and the same travel speed.

Yet they take up a massive amount of space in the long list of tools I can send with

my attack.

We players should be able to sell the holiday themed tools to get the "basic" ruby version

of the tool, thus decluttering the attack setup window.

Some tools, like these mantlets, do have slightly different travel speeds, but I honestly think

we should be able to combine them too.

Similarly, different versions of the same troop, like how the master bone huntress is

the same as the demon horror, should be able to be combined.

Number 11: Disable auto war by default When a player founds a new alliance, auto-war

is enabled by default, meaning war will be declared if they are attacked.

Many new players who found alliances don't know to turn auto-war off, which means large

alliances have dozens of tiny alliances that they're perpetually at war with.

Auto-war should have to be manually enabled, not the other way around.

Number 12: Break up the 18 hour boosters I really don't like how Goodgame Studios

encourages unhealthy playing habits.

I understand why they do it, but I think it's taking the monetization of the game too far.

For example, consider how a player can earn an eighteen-hour seasonal point booster during

the long-term point events.

It's not healthy for anybody to play Goodgame Empire for eighteen consecutive hours, yet

by making the booster this long, that's exactly what Goodgame Studios is trying to

get people to do.

Why not break this booster up into three six-hour periods, earnable at different stages along

the way?

Number 13: More message archive space Players were given the ability to permanently

store messages several years ago, which is a really useful feature for holding onto good

information.

You can also archive an alliance invite so that you can visit another alliance and then

return to your own without needing to find somebody who can invite you and who is online.

Very useful!

My only complaint is that my archive folder has been full for years, with the capacity

to hold only twenty messages.

Increasing this to 50 or beyond would be greatly appreciated.

Number 14: Condense the time-skips I'm sure you're all acutely aware of the recent

changes Goodgame Studios made to time skips, but while 24-hr skips may no longer be a thing,

active looters have thousands of tiny skips that we can't really use.

I can't use these skips fast enough when running attacks on nomad and samurai camps, and completing

buildings with them is also out of the question.

Perhaps time skips should be added to a time bank of sorts, where you can skip any cooldown

or construction immediately with one easy click.

At the very least, we should again be allowed to trade in these time skips for skips of

equal value but higher denomination.

Number 15: Sending kingdom and regular resources together

If you want to send regular and kingdom resources between your castles, you'll need to make

multiple trips.

This is true between the kingdoms and also between castles in the same kingdom, and I'm

not sure why.

It causes players to waste time, time skips, and even rubies if they're moving resources

between kingdoms.

Number 16: Allow the attacker to see the details of the battle report even when they lose

It used to be when you sent an attack that got crushed, you could examine the details

of the report to understand why you lost.

Goodgame Studios removed this feature for whatever reason, and while you can still see

whether your attackers overcame the wall, you can't view any further details about your

opponent's setup.

I think perhaps the developer made this change because tool-burning was an easier way to

spy than actually spying, but they need to find a way to undo it.

If I lose, I should be able to see why and use that information to make better attacks

in the future... what other way is there for me to learn?

Alright ladies and gentlemen, that is all for today, thank you for watching.

If you have feelings about my suggestions, one way or the other, whether you agree or

disagree, please leave them in the comments section below.

In the very near future, I will be releasing a defense guide for Goodgame Empire, so stay

tuned to the channel for that.

Thanks again, and I'll see you next time.

Anthony Scaramucci Crushes Joy Behar For Saying Trump Hasn't Accomplished Anything

remember when Mexico was gonna pay for the bill for the so there's probably

been a change of plans the White House resident tweeted that because of how

much money the military got from the 1.3 trillion dollar spending package we

should quote on build the wall through em now to advisers confirmed that the M

does not stand for Mexico but it stands for military so is this way he's trying

to get this wall built yeah put in your pocket build the wall yourself right we

already told you taxpayers said we're not building that you submit snow doing

it you should do it what do you let yeah you know is your favorite Michael Cohen

he's to do a personal question every day we asked Daniel settlement well we asked

all the time will this be the thing that you know this is gonna get him every

time I've heard you know when you read into this the wall could be something if

he does not get this built that actually takes off the base the I think it hinges

on this wall I think a lot of people voted for him on this wall thing will

change the base now that no I don't think it'll be an affair I think these

are more issues that his base the ones that voted for him claim mattered some

of the conservative pundits have broken from him like Ann Coulter over the wall

but I I don't think that the wall whether it gets built or doesn't get

built affects the base that's just my opinion you don't think that if he

doesn't get it built they don't because if you guys if you guys step back from

the Twitter or some of the style some of the personal stuff and you step back a

lot of the stuff that the president promised he did it Whoopi's laughable he

did execute you mean like mail Gorsuch okay that's a very good example the

rules of Congress to get mail Gord gorga Jim in such a nasty polemical society

now where we're bashing each other's heads in there's no consensus anymore

the people are either far to the left or far to the right and they're dialed in

to news channels that confirm their own biases and so so what's happening now so

let me let me name three things that he's done you may not like all three so

I can interrupt tax reform plan in the Middle East and the North Korean

Peninsula the Middle East thing with his plan to accept the Iranian deal could

backfire a big time in the Middle East so I'm not sure that that's a great idea

what's going on I think what's going on in North Korea all American Chinese are

taking care of North Korea and how to take form a tenor hurt the little people

tax tax reform is gonna help his people and people that are billionaire but not

sunny the data doesn't suggest that the jobs numbers but let's say it's two

million because that's the midpoint between the arguments all in all it's

just another brick in the wall so the stormy Daniels scandal is still biting

the White House huh in the backside but the press secretary Sarah sandesh thinks

they've said all they need to say about it take a look why the silence of

someone advising him to be silent or is he following his own when the president

has addressed this we've addressed it extensively there's just nothing else to

add just because you guys continue to ask the same question over and over and

over again doesn't mean that we have to keep coming up with new things to say

we've addressed it we've addressed it extensively and there's nothing new to

add to this conversation so you are the communications director for a while that

what do you what do you think they're handling this well is it is it that I

think I've used a to be on

well I'm a huge fan of hers I only did three things in the White House when I

was there I got the lights and cameras back on right we permit eyes sours

position as press secretary and I hired a hair and makeup artist which I thought

I needed so but as it relate as it relates to this I think it is the best

strategy because the price to keep shit his mouth strap that well I do because I

think the president is a Duraflame log and anytime you throw him on a fire it

blows into the stratosphere and so I think I think that's the best strategy

and so if I was inside the room with them they made a statement about it and

I would let it go from what I think I'm sorry who denied it because I haven't

heard him saying because usually you know he'd be like right you know this is

fake news and I saw he'd be tweeting the hell out of this if he had to say boo

about this so I'm wondering if there's actually everybody else's denied it

right are they waiting to get direct I think there's one other strategy that

you could deploy here where he issues a statement from him in the first lady

that were taking our personal life off of the table here I think you could

potentially do that as well but legally that could get him in trouble if he says

something that is proven later that it's not I'd say I think it's I think it's

too difficult I wouldn't be saying anything about everything

alec baldwin makes fun of me cause i'm alex baldwin isn't you know his name but

he makes fun of him him every time somebody says anything he's on there he

becomes a little bit suspicious this time and you say it's because he's

protecting himself i think it's because it's charlie well i think it's a

combination of things but I think it's the expiration of the news cycle I think

what ends up happening is and there's like this great website

two weeks ago news calm or something like that what happened two weeks ago

was very sensational two weeks ago where we're not talking about it today and in

two weeks we'll be talking about something different I think this is

going

maybe not funny but American American people are gonna have to make a decision

like they've made in Europe and other places where there's electoral politics

do the candidates personal lives matter one is it seems and then maybe I'm crazy

but it does seem to matter more when it's a Democrat it seems to be more

focused wasn't it matter if the president and his people broke campaign

finance laws that's more than breaking your vow to your wife which he's also

authorized let me take both questions so the first question this is the reason

why I'm no longer there because I like telling people the truth there's a level

of hypocrisy that goes on in politics you're referring to is twenty years ago

President Clinton had an issue they blew it out of epic proportion and they were

throwing morally righteous Thunderbolts remember they did the same thing with

with Hillary by bringing in twenty right

I'm actually giving you the point I think the thing is completely

hypocritical you either it's on the table and it's fair game for everybody

or it's off the table and it's off the table in a bipartisan way and so I think

the country is getting there now though were there sort of an SSI by these scans

by the scandal if it was Barack Obama in the middle of this no the Republican

answer absolutely not this is my point it's very hypocritical what is going on

again this is why I get in trouble because I like telling you the truth

it is very hypocritical you should be easy to be completely dialed off or

completely dialed on it's one one or the other yes but for me I'm just saying in

other countries we've taken the personal issues off the table thank you god bless

you and God bless america

Man & Fire: Quest for a Wood Burning Sauna Part 1 - Duration: 28:42.

Where I come from, there is a part of life not questioned

any more than mealtime, or having a bed in which to sleep.

This tradition follows us wherever we may travel,

even if only in our hearts.

Life is perpetual motion,

requiring adaptation.

For fifteen long years, part of me has been absent.

Rarely am I fully nourished,

and made whole.

It is among my life's first memories,

and will be among my last.

I am not a builder in the traditional sense.

My mind is full with technology,

and promises of the future.

Something simpler beckons.

A fundamental force.

♫ The snow is blowin',

♫ be a deep freeze tonight.

♫ My horse is failin' me,

♫ I just can't ride.

♫ I left him layin'

♫ there on the cold, cold ground

♫ Looks like he's stayin'

♫ six feet from me now.

After living in Sweden for a decade and a half, I'm finally going to have a real sauna

of my own again.

No more waiting for cabin holidays, or having to set up my camping tent sauna, which isn't

a permanent solution anyway if I'm honest with myself.

And forget about the hassle of going to a public gym.

In my opinion, there's absolutely no replacement for having a backyard, wood burning sauna.

And I knew they were out there, so it was just a matter of finding the right one.

Of course, you can build from scratch too.

But personally i knew that if this project was ever going to get done, I'd need to find a solution

that suited my situation.

A company in Sweden called Polhus proved to be just the right fit, and I was very pleased

with the sauna model that I found.

For the build, I decided to take the risk and try to beat the winter weather.

Between the physical preparation work I decided to do some previsualization in Photoshop.

This would help inspire me on the colder, rainier days when I was losing hope that the

sauna would arrive in time.

The foundation necessary for this type of build is pretty simple, but it's essential

that it gets done before the deep freeze sets in.

It just so happened that a friend was putting new gravel in their driveway and had plenty to spare.

It was a little finer grain than I expected, but it packed down like cement and ended up working great.

The snow and cold hit mid-November and nearly derailed the build plans for the entire winter.

Then as Christmas approached, the weather became better and i decided to just go for it.

The package has been waiting here for a while and now it's time to finally see what we have.

I can barely believe that a complete sauna building is all in this compact package.

Minus benches, stove and so on.. but still.

Martin: Yeah, these short parts here you need to hit with a hammer these boards to get them

solid fit to each other.

Martin: So you're supposed to use those as a hitting board.

Henrik: Aha, really...

Martin: I mean, there is some thinking to do this.

I think we're gonna need to sit inside and think over some of this also.

But now we can bring it.

Martin: There should be a door in here, too!

Henrik: Yeah, a complete door, I would hope.

(laughs)

My build partner Martin and i begin to go through it all and we decide to organize it

on the patio where it will have some weather protection.

Martin: Let's see now.

The 1, we've got...

6, and 7, how many are we supposed to have?

Thirteen of the 6.

(counts correct number) That's good.

As we locate everything, it's checked off the manifest.

Some parts are taped together for protection.

This is a bit confusing at first when we try to locate them as they're listed separately.

Between the two of us we manage to make sense of everything.

It really helps to have a partner in a build of any kind, in my opinion.

Martin: Nails, 140, for the roof.

Screws, for floor beams...

We go to a cafe, but it's not just break time.

We're going to really hammer out a plan.

Lars: What a fine name for door in Finnish, "ovi".

Henrik: (corrects pronunciation)

Elin: Ovi.

Lars: What an easy word.

Martin: Aha!

Here they start talking a little.

Henrik: (Joking) Oh, they actually explain!

Of the two of us, Martin has much more of a carpentry background so having him as my

build partner is very valuable.

Martin: Moisture protective paper between the cement blocks and wood.. could remember that.

Henrik: Are we gonna need to treat the wood somehow?

Martin: No, that's treated.

So I doubt you actually have to put that... it's just recommended.

The last time i built was as a teenager.

They were much more complex than this but i have to admit, I'm feeling a little rusty

after 20 some years.

Martin: I have 45 (cm) here.

The day of the main build has arrived.

I'm super excited but also a little bit anxious to see how this goes.

Martin: What do you call that tool in English, do you know that?

Henrik: A pickaxe?

Martin: Aha... yeah, that's probably true.

We call it a "korp".

A korpse.

Henrik: Korporal.

Martin: Korporal Korp.

We begin by doing the cement block supports.

it's a little different configuration than what's in the plan but it's a guarantee that

this will shift heavily come spring.

When it does, this will be simpler to adjust.

Martin: Do the twist.

Henrik: Come on now everybody, let's do the twist!

Chubby Checker and The Fat Boys...

It's getting colder again and the weather is always in the back of my mind, if not numbing my hands and feet.

It takes some getting used to.

Henrik: We're going to start stacking these wall boards, just like lego.

Previously i thought of doing an electric stove sauna in our home's basement.

Electric stove Sauna is the primary type i grew up with in Canada, every Wednesday and Saturday,

for the first 25 years of my life.

In the summers, we'd go to friends' camps.

There and in Finland for the first time at age 12 - those were my main experiences of

wood burning sauna.

There in my motherland, looking up at the crystal clear stars, with steam rising from

my skin in the crisp night air...

I knew who I was.

Henrik: This is where the door is gonna go.

Here, you see the corner piece, that's where the rod is going to go in.

Four metal rods, one for each edge of the building - kind of add some extra support

to the structure.

Our first mistake, but it's minor.

The end boards on the step need to be removed to allow the start of the wall.

There is something special about the connection between man and fire.

As I began to reincorporate regular sauna practice into my life again after being without

it on the schedule I'd long been accustomed to,

I grew appreciative of the ritual that comes with building a fire.

The sharpening of the axe.

The chopping of wood.

Listening to the crackle of the birch bark, as the heat grows.

All these routines around maintaining it, at the same time sharpen you.

Martin: (Let's check to see that) it's the same measure between the two corners here.

Martin: It's actually looking very good.

Martin: Hello, Henrik!

How is it in the sauna?

Is it nice?

Martin: We'll just measure this piece (door).

Henrik: Yeah, I guess.

We did things the hard way.

Henrik: (Secure the first row) at the door first, I guess.

The plans don't appear to mention how to secure the structure down, but we assume it needs to be done.

Martin: You just make sure with you eyeballs that everything's in place.

Henrik: (Laughs) My eyeballs...

Martin: Hold it with your eyeballs.

Studies are now showing the benefits of both what they call heat shock, and cold shock therapies.

They activate proteins in the body which contribute to longevity and a number of other benefits.

Henrik: Yeah, feels tight...

Lower inflammation.

Better cognition.

Reduced depression.

Increased fat burning.

Improved performance and recovery.

It's interesting to think that what scientists are just now realizing, and what this modern

culture still has a hard time putting into practice,

is something the Finnish people have done since ancient times.

Martin: Did I put a 13 there?

...Yeah, I was supposed to.

Henrik: What, because of the (tall) window?

Or what?

Martin: Yeah.

Ewa: Hello there!

Martin: Yeah, that's the question.

When does the window go on there?

It goes on there pretty early, doesn't it?

Martin: Yeah, it's just one 5.

Then it's 13s.

Göran: Hey, boys!

Ewa: It's such lovely material!

Ewa: It's bigger than I thought, anyway!

Martin: You could easily fit four people in here, at least.

Ewa: You could have it as an extra sleeping cabin.

Henrik: The bench probably will be wide enough that you can lay out a sleeping bag on it.

Henrik: This is... for the back.

Then we should reference the paper, how many rows until the window.

Do you know that?

Martin: Yeah, we're gonna need to do that.

But that window's pretty (high) up.

But still.

Anyway, I know that I feel better when I do (sauna), and I'm grateful for this opportunity

to have it in my life again.

I did some pretty desperate things for sauna when I was without it.

Up in the arctic circle, I'd sneak over to the industry buildings and use theirs.

On vacation in the Norwegian mountains, I used the cabin's sauna so much that I induced a fever.

Then, I found a community wood burning sauna by a riverside - a beautiful location,

but the building itself was in a state of disrepair, and it wouldn't even go above 40

celsius.

Henrik: Now the marrow is on the inside.

Martin: Yeah, twist it then.

I fixed it up, which for some reason the locals didn't appreciate.

Henrik: I want the clean side on the inside.

Martin and I disagree on that part.

Martin: You want the nice side to put your ass on.

Martin: Oh, look at that thing going crazy!

So after that, I bought a tent sauna designed and tested in Siberia, set that up in my back yard,

and kept that up over three winters, through blizzards and all.

When that started to give out, I knew I couldn't hold off getting the real deal any longer.

Henrik: (throwing snow against hot steel drum) Look, it's a sauna stove!

Henrik: I need to go around here.

Henrik: Would ya look at that.

Martin: It's not resting totally, right?

Henrik: Doesn't look like it's going anywhere.

Martin: There's your problem.

Henrik Oh, it's getting stuck on that.

Martin: Now we're getting somewhere.

Martin: Close the door, honey!

Martin: It's almost like they planned it to be there, you know?

Martin: (counting)

Martin: Yeah, it's gonna actually feel quite more spacey than I thought.

That is a big sauna.

Henrik: Yeah, it's nice.

Martin: That is a real sauna, man.

I'm starting to get the giggles.

Henrik: Yeah, I mean now it feels real!

My obsessive eye catches some differences in wood coloration but those can be sanded

out later on the interior,

as it's only a surface issue that likely happened while the boards were tightly packed together.

The outer walls will be painted of course, but no other treatment will be used.

Martin: It's nice to work outdoors like this.

Henrik: Yeah, I'm actually feeling quite frisk! (fresh)

On these short winter days, darkness falls rapidly.

But it'll still be enough time to finish the walls.

Henrik: That was only one 6 and one 7.

So we're still short one 6.

Martin: There was a 6 here already right?

Yeah, two 6.

But that might be enough.

There have been no real problems much to my surprise and delight.

We did put one board in the wrong place but it was simple to spot and correct.

Martin: Hello, Henrik!

Can you hear me!

Henrik: Now, try opening the window.

Martin: Like that?

Henrik: Yeah.

Martin: And then you can just...

Henrik: Yeah, yeah.

Man, that's...

Martin: You're gonna be like, puking from all your beer drinking here.

Martin and I joke constantly.

Everything goes easier when you don't take things too seriously.

But to be honest, we're always like this.

Martin: Here we go, closing in the big window.

Then we just need to close the door.

Henrik: ...and then it's sauna time.

Martin: I wish you'd got the stove and everything, man.

Martin: Can see there's definitely a gap here at the door.

Henrik: A-ha?

The weird thing is, you don't want the leaks to be up high, because that's where the heat escapes.

You typically want the vent to be down at the bottom.

Martin: Mm, but this is hard to do anything about.

Henrik: Yeah, might have to seal that with something later on.

Martin: Yeah, seal it in some other way.

Martin: So these top parts here, you see - those are those fragile things.

Martin: Can put them on the ground.

Martin: Yeah, you watch that fragile part now.

Henrik: I'm watchin' it.

Martin: Think about it.

Think about it once in a while, ya know?

We've kept a steady watch on the forecast and there is no snow until about 24 hours from now.

When necessary, we'll put a tarp on and then continue when it's clear again.

In the meantime, we can pick up roofing materials including weather protective paper and tin sheets.

Christmas is just around the corner too, so we'll likely pick up after that.

Martin: Sshh, don't say nothing.

Keep this to yourselves.

Martin: This is just like loading a musket.

Martin: When it comes out the bottom, how much it sticks out - it doesn't need to stick out too much.

Can you look at that?

Martin: Ok, can you feel it?

Henrik: It's just touching my finger now, so it needs to come out some more.

Henrik: Yeah, it's good now.

Martin: They're making pyramids.

Martin: Did you have one of those rugs when you were small, with like, a roadmap on it?

Henrik: No, I didn't.

You did?

Martin: Yeah, no... but a friend of mine.

During our trip, we catch a glimpse of a rare phenomenon.

Pearlescent solar stratospheric clouds.

Every bit as beautiful as the northern lights.

Martin: Ha ha ha ha!

Lars: Haha... yeah, good Martin!

Martin: Ready, set, go.

We heard bad weather's coming in just a few hours.. so we rush to get the sauna covered.

Henrik: I don't have your knot tying ability.

Henrik: ...going for the simple style.

Martin: (laughs)

Henrik: That's what I would have done, so...

Martin: (laughs more) You're too afraid of using the simple.

Henrik: You always have these crazy fishermen's knots!

Martin: (laughs) No, no...

Just as predicted, there have been several centimeters of snow over the past few days.

But nothing's going to stop this train.

Henrik: With these it doesn't matter at all which side is up or down.

Martin: No.

Once again, the roof boards click together using grooves.

Then we'll nail them down, cover with weatherproof paper, and finally, the tin.

Martin: Maybe you can squeeze them a little at the end there.

Henrik: Mhm.

Mhm, mhm.

Martin: Knock with your hands.

Martin: Yeah, that's good.

Martin: Yeah... something like that.

Henrik: Sumpin' like dat.

Martin: "Who the hell is building a sauna now... on New Years Day!"

Henrik: Only the most hardcore Finn on earth.

Martin: Isn't shingle like some ceramic stuff or something...

Henrik: Uh, yeah...

Henrik: But it could also be made out of tar.

Like, various different materials for it.

It's more of like a shape.

Martin: Yeah,

Henrik: Like a flat brick, or something.

Martin: Shingle. (Sean Connery voice)

Henrik: I used to lay lots of shingles with my dad.

Martin: That's how you drive a nail.

Feel the weight of the hammer.

Henrik: Now Youtube will know.

Henrik: Looks like there's a strange man on my sauna roof!

One end of the boards will use fewer nails to leave room for the tin sheets to be screwed in later.

Things with the roof are coming along quickly, and we still have time to do the floor today too.

Martin: Like you don't want these pieces where your toes are supposed to go.

Henrik: No no no.

Martin: Like holes.

But this will be under the stove, so... there will be metal there.

Martin: That is a snug fit.

Henrik: This is kinda uneven at the bottom or something.

Martin: Yeah.

You could take a piece away from that.

Henrik: Even with a knife or something.

Martin: I have a multitool but, I think this will go in there.

Martin: If you have them totally close to one another, they will go like this (cracking noise)

Martin: I think we want to make some kind of a template to go in between them, you know,

some small thing.

Martin: I think this could be good, actually.

Henrik: Yeah.

But don't we need two of them?

Martin: Yeah, cut this one.

Henrik: What on earth, man... he's going to tear down the whole presenning (tarp)!

Martin: It's funny though, this worked so good!

Martin: This screw (measuring) technique here.

Martin: Because it creates exactly 2.5cm from each end side also.

So it was like meant for it.

Martin: He thinks it's so funny it goes back.

Like he can't understand.

Henrik: Kinda like that.

I think that looks a little better.

Henrik: Good work Martin, I approve.

Keep 'er going.

Martin: Yeah.

You know, once this floor is laid, you're actually getting the complete sauna view from the inside,

except the stove and the bench, but... this ain't gonna change then.

Henrik: No, it isn't.

Except for...

Martin: ...some interior.

It would definitely be nice with one of those corner shelves there,

and like some painting like you said there, those (glöd) paintings (pyrography).

Henrik: But we should try to custom make everything.

That would be far more interesting than buying crap from Erikshjälpen (second hand) or something.

Henrik: Even make a couple of hooks to hang here,

Martin: Yeah, wood hooks.

Henrik: ...to hang up a towel.

Martin: The perfect hook for that is a branch of a tree that goes like that.

You cut off the tree there, and the branch is the hook.

That's the perfect, right there.

Martin: A sauna represents that, you know.

The small space, the closeness.

Henrik: Yeah. Intimacy with nature.

Martin: Yeah. Intimacy with each other.

Henrik: But again, this will be under the bench so it doesn't matter as much.

Martin: No.

But we don't want all that cold air.

Henrik: No...

We don't.

I've opted against any insulation of any kind at this time.

I want to see how well the cabin will hold the heat, and if it's acceptable, I'll end up with much more headroom.

Martin: Gonna have to put a small list to the wall. (baseboard)

Henrik: I think so... that's what I was hoping.

Henrik: And here we have a full tour of the room.

Over here, we've got this board.

Over there we've got that board.

And there's a window.

Henrik: There's a corner there.

And another window.

And a door!

And that's the sauna tour.

Henrik: The final piece of the puzzle.

That'll.. this is the secret for sealing in the heat.

Martin: (laughs) that thing.

Henrik: You don't need insulation, people - when you've got this.

Martin: We need to get- these are at Karl Hedin's (hardware store) very cheap.

Henrik: That matches up exactly.

Martin: Or that way.

It's all dependent on how you want it.

Martin: Them old boys.

Man, it even came out real good on the edge there.

Martin: I did not expect it to come together this fine when I freehanded it,

Martin: but that circle saw keeps itself pretty good on track anyhow, because it's so wide.

After waiting out more weather, we can finally finish off the roof.

We don't know it yet but this is going to be a heavy winter for snow, and worse yet,

cold.

Because of that, the extreme heating costs mean I'll have to delay getting the stove.

And this is a major setback for me, but if I've waited this long, I can wait a little more.

Henrik: Yep... do your thing.

Martin: We're building a sauna!

Martin: These gable boards are what makes it look professional.

We've done what we can for the next few months.

Now it's just to wait out the winter, and dream of all the relaxing sessions ahead in here.

When the conditions are right, from this vantage point the Aurora Borealis is visible.

Still ahead in part two, we go ahead and install the stove, and customize both the interior

and exterior,

and finally... fire it up. I can't wait!
