Technology blog, The Next Web reported last week that AT&T is about to open their network to allow VoIP calls on the AT&T network. While this is great for me, a frequent international caller on my iPhone, it seems a little off topic for this site.

That is until you realize that upon hearing this news, the reporter for The Next Web walked over to the Skype offices in Tallinn Estonia for an interview with Sten Tamkivi. He chose the company’s sauna as the setting for this video interview.

The sauna appears to be just off one of those typical web-company break rooms with a pool table and comfy chairs. The interior walls are unique, possibly made using end-grain branches. You can catch another couple of short glimpses of it on Skype’s video tour page.

cordwood-saunaAre you looking to build your own sauna? Are you an aspiring mason? Do you have a bunch of logs laying around your property?

If the answer to all these questions is a resounding “Yes!” then the workshop for you is taking place between Rochester and Buffalo NY later this month.

The Cordwood Sauna Workshop is scheduled for September 26-27 in Elba, NY. Tuition is $200. For more information, you can download their brochure [PDF]

If you can’t attend, but are interested in these techniques, you can read the article from the December / January 2000 Mother Earth News where this picture was taken. It is also available in book form: Sauna: A complete guide to the Construction, Use, and Benefits of the Finnish Bath. The author, Rob Roy, runs the Earthwood Building School, which offers seminars worldwide about these techniques.

Additional information about cordwood masonry and other natural building methods is available at Rochester Green Living.

Have you ever thought of opening your own sauna business? Do you live in the LA Area? Then BizQuest has the opportunity for you.

They have a 4000 sq. foot Women-only sauna business for sale in the LA area for the low-low price of $320,000! Troubling though that the current owners invested $1,000,000 in the business, and can only generate $60,000 in cash flow.
