Its good for the skin and bones, especially if you are old. But dont expect any return on investment in terms of resale value. I mean $0.

OK. I know some people who have it and love it, and others who have it and never ever use it. If they have arthritis or anything like that they will probably use it alot. Otherwise, its hard to say for sure whether or not they will like it /use it.

My parents have a sauna. Mom always wanted one so dad gave in and built it.

They used it less than 10 times in the last 5 years (or more).

My father installed everything by himself.

I'll try to remember to take pictures next time I'm there.
