Elvin H.O.M.E.

The Sauna/Shower Haus and Spa is an ongoing project that has been fostered by many people over the years. It is the result of many work sessions and several committees. We have come a long way from the old garden hose under the shade tree. Recently an anti-scald tempering valve was added, which enhances both the saftey and comfort of all who use the showers. No more random shifts from too hot to too cold. Future ideas include getting a high pressure washer and making solid floors in the shower stalls.

The rehabilitation of the Sauna following the fire of Halloween 2005, has progressed at a steady pace.The ceiling and walls have been covered with cement board and stucco. Once the ceiling is finished the sauna will be very close to functional even though it is not finished. Plans call for tile to cover the walls and a painting to cover the ceiling.This covering of concrete and painting has led some to dub it "The Cistern Chapel".
