A sauna for all of us!

Friends of Casa col Forno,

We are starting a crowdfunding campaign to purchase a sauna for all of us! It’s been a dream of ours since we arrived in Rorà, but it was never a priority… as there were always other expenses. Now we’ve decided that the time has come for the sauna, even though other priorities still exist. Otherwise, this dream will never take shape.

After researching and comparing costs, we’ve decided to buy a pre-made sauna, as building one ourselves would cost at least the same and would be somewhat risky.

We have chosen a 2.8-meter sauna for 4 people with outdoor seats from an Estonian company with 15 years of experience — Baltresto. The selected configuration includes:

• Flat-pack sauna for easy shipping and assembly.
• Black roof.
• Thermowood, durable and long-lasting.
• Diameter of 2.2 meters.
• Wood-burning Harvia M3 stove.
• Stove accessories: protective sheath, protective bedding, and protection panel.
• Glass door.
• LED lighting in the steam room.

Including VAT, the sauna costs 5080 euros, with additional expenses for delivery and installation. The total amount we aim to raise is 6000 euros, but considering additional costs for accessories and electrical connection, it could be slightly higher.

What does this mean for you? Anyone who contributes today with at least 100-200 euros will be able to use the sauna for free until 2028. In the future, we might need additional funds for technical maintenance, and in that case, more active users will be able to contribute further.

Besides financial support, you can help in other ways:

• Assembling and installing the sauna on-site.
• Connecting it to electricity and water.
• Preparing firewood for the sauna.

If each of us contributes at least 100-200 euros now, and we gather the necessary amount to place the order by October 15, the sauna could be ready by Christmas! So get your birch whisks ready and prepare for a warm New Year!

Support our project, and together we will make Casa col Forno even more welcoming and comfortable!

P.S. Donations can be made via bank transfer, PayPal, or other convenient methods. If you can help not only financially but also physically, please contact us!

Thank you for your help and support!

CROWDFUNDING UPDATES

29.10.2024
Thank you to everyone who has already participated in the fundraising campaign. With your contributions, we have currently raised €1000. This amount, combined with the €1218.80 contribution from the Stone Oven House association, has made it possible to place the pre-order for the sauna. Baltresto has already started manufacturing the sauna, and it should be ready within 6-8 weeks. If all goes well, we’ll be able to use it by the Christmas holidays!

However, don’t forget that the crowdfunding is still ongoing, as we need to be able to pay for the second part of the sauna’s cost!
