Following that is the actual building process and the main part of the report: how to build a sauna raft. It starts with presenting the plan for the project and is then divided into different stages, each focusing on one separate building component or process in somewhat chronological order. The report is then concluded with a small glimpse into the inauguration of the sauna raft followed by an evaluation and a reflection of the project and its process. (Less)
