Btw, something here reminds me... you all know how flights are marked on airports... well, a certain afternoon flight, I kid you not, from Copenhagen to Helsinki is marked as

"Flight AY-666 to HEL" razz

Meh, sauna is wonderful, I can't image living without it... I go to sauna 4-6 times a week, but in a wood-heated sauna every time I've got a change. wink Mesh got one home, but we can heat it only on summer cuz winter tends to freeze the water pipes going in there..

lol. Do you all have summer houses? I know not every Finn has one, but do you guys?

My parents have summer house, but I never visit there anymore.. Well, it's about 800km from here where I live, so.. It's pretty hard to visit. My parents have thought that they'd be selling it away, but dunno..

My family doesn't have one.

We have one, half an hour drive from home on the lakeside. Used to be fairly small, but it was expanded a couple of years ago.. nowadays it's two story 8x7m, so rather big (actually I think it's slightly larger than home (excluding garage, of course), but because it's boxed shaped and open it doesn't feel like it)

In the summer we pump water from the lake. You could drink it, but we bring drink water from home. We just use it for the sauna and toilet (now that in the expansion we built a WC, and don't need to rely on the outhouse anymore ). We don't have the sauna as a building of its own but a rather small one in the cottage. My parents have been planning to build a smoke sauna on the shore, though. Will see if they'll ever actually do it

It's nearly surrounded by terraces xd As a basic rule, every time my dad noticed that there's some time of a day when all the terraces are in shadow, he builts a new one to somewhere where the Sun is shining at that point. Only one of them is really used, though. The one closest to the lake

I'll see if I can find some pics to post at some point... it's a rather nice cottage, though I've never really liked spending a lot of time there - never been there in good company. My family definitely doesn't count as one

The site doesn't allow direct linking, so you gotta copy the img url and paste it to your browser to see the picture.

Odd, it shows perfectly fine for me on all three browsers. Well, I'll give direct URL here, in some cases pics show better if you go directly to them instead of trying to view them linked...

It's because you have the picture in your cache (I think). I mean, I can see it now in your post after visiting the URL.

Could be something like that, though Opera and IE definitely loaded it from the site. Had they got it from a cache it'd been quite a bit faster. Ah, well
