I didn’t crop pic. because I wanted the drag marks in the ground to show up.
Your shed looks great.
I offered up the sauna stove for sale this morning, one thing I don't want. The bench will make a great roosting place. I'll probably have Ave a couple of laying boxes attached to the back wall for the late layers.

One thing about it, there no ranky odors.
GEEZ WIZZ!!!!!! WD!!!!!!!! That's one fine looking She-Shed- Congratulations on getting it all in place.
Now imagine that the Mr has earned a few brownie points for this one-or was it a payment for past dues.....
Well first off I didn't know there was a picture place. A BIG THANKS To You Sir Fat for helping me. I still don't know where the deer is! Not all of these rattle. But aren't the lacy, blossom ones pretty? My 93 year old rockhound buddy had me take one into a gold/silver/ rock shop and the guy offered me $30.00 for one. I hadn't even thought about selling it. He didn't look me in the eye when he made the offer. The rock went back into my purse. We had a blast hunting them. There's not too many of the lacy blossom ones. The old codger is back safely in Kansas, and I get my bed back. Aahh!
So was this a DIY sauna? Well, makes no matter now. Now it’s a mobile chicken coop. I am curious. After all the work done on the barn, why did you get a mobile coop?
What are the rocks by the stove for? Absorbing heat?
So it's being renamed to the "Chicken Chariot" it seems. We want to move the hens around for tick prevention, and this way I can load them up, move them to a location, put up a solar electric net fence, and let them have fun.
Ever try to be the lead and having chickens follow-works for a few yards then they just go about doing what they want to do, peck, scratch and have fun.
The Mrs has had her eye on your workings-"I want a she-shed"....BTW-thanks....grumble/grumble.....
Pouring water on iron or metal can crack it.
Oh yes the stone like masonry will store heat. Nice after the fire is out but not needed in a sauna after use.
It was interesting in Canada that most places I used to visit had a sauna.
While diet and individual matters , blackflies clouded us visitors while residents ignored them fir the most part.
We asked a guy one time (oh boy could he build , a gorgeous main lodge and he was building cabins all mostly log near it when I paid him several
dollars to pitch a tent and use his boat launch,showers and..sauna for a week) why the black flies were not attacking him.
He explained the sauna and shower use order and bug dope after.
Pretty much a matter of reducing skin exhaust fumes. We still exhale exhaust. But the type and amount ,(imagine hair scent ect.) matters.
Thus the sauna.
Woodsmoke helps ,or at least affects smell residues. A housewife didn't like coal smoke rolling through the house (no one did) but a whiff of wood smoke was not too bad.
If not to the point of coloring walls of course.
I had a habit of cracking the stove door after a fire was burning well. Not smoky , but a good whiff. L.o.l..
Heck , there were times I's sit in front of it with the door open.
Never built a sauna.
A guy I worked with (a runaway at age 13 and still a character) covered his stove in fieldstone and cement to retain heat while he was away.
When I was home shopping some years later a tired old farmhouse was in my budget.
Great rural setting , rough project type house view from the outside. Not having a realtor or anyone to let us in we wandered around the property..
I looked over the barn/garage built of salvaged mostly short boards....Hey wait a minute , that guy I worked with told me he built one out of scrap.
Found his last name crudely painted on the mailbox .. So I peeked in the livingroom window and there was so much stone cemented into an igloo shape , it's a wonder the floor held it.(!)
