Well, you’re not- you’re not exactly the only one who gets a say. -about that, like, yeah, that if you wanted that yard sauna or outbuilding, then that’s 30 square meters and then say like a yard sauna, 30 square meters, so okay, so what well then you’d just need a sauna and then maybe some sort of changing room. 30 is pretty generous, so like here you’d have a sauna cabin, so here there’s like a cabin and then there’s the sauna.
