The cost is underfoot: a strip of cedar slats laid across the low point between the benches, with the\n    staves curving up either side. Most people live with it. Some never stop noticing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe Elation keeps the top half of the argument and drops the bottom half. The staves still curve over your\n    head, so the heat still gathers where you sit, but the room stands on a square framed floor of tongue and\n    groove cedar. And because the barrel is wider, 91.5 inches inside against 83, there is more wall beside each\n    bench before the curve closes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it is not:\u003c\/strong\u003e it is not the biggest room in the range, and it has no covered porch.

You screw together\n    a square frame of cedar boards, nail tongue and groove floor boards into it, and the barrel stands on that:\n    back wall, front wall, and the staves screwed to both through pre-drilled holes.

The front wall sits back inside the barrel, so the floor runs forward\n    under the lip of the barrel, and that strip carries two small cedar benches, each 18 13\/16 by 18 inches, one\n    either side of the door.
