I would love to have a sink like that in my basement wine room.I love the deep basin. Actually, I'd love to have running water in my wine room

. The only thing running is me up and down the stairs rinsing and washing.


Great find

I forgot to memtion that the building will be done in Vinal siding, and the Cellar will be Cooled and Heated by a 12,00 BTU HEAT/AC unit. A big project.


Bill
 
Thanks all. its been a lot of work. More than I thought. I hope to be done by the end of FEB. Ill keep you all posted when the open house is.


Bill
 
DANG that is fantastic.


I was hoping to buy some large tupperware containers for my"cellar."


Wanna trade??

Where are you located, Bill? You seem to have very green surroundings, still, but the leaves on the trees are gone. And your hanging baskets got frost.... And if you have a pool, that means summers are bombastic.





I will guess.....








Tennessee/Virginia?

I don't know, Martina -- let's see, must be an Ace Hardware nearby, and looks like Doug Fir trees in the back, maybe a laurel or lilac in the corner.Hmmmm-- wonder what we get if we can guess it correctly?

Okay -- without any other hints I'll go with Oregon!
 
Sorry I took so long to reply. Martina and H2O Your both wrong. Im located in central Georgia about 100 miles south of Atlanta. We have had some cold days here 30 one day 70 the next. CRAZY. The Tree at the edge of the building is a TEA OLIVE or Sweet Olive It has very small white flowers which are very fragrant, like a Gardenia. No Fir trees here in GA. Too hot. The Ace store is where I work part time in the Garden/Nursery. The pool will open around the middle of May. All are welcome.


Bill
 
OH, before I forget, OilnH2O, those trees in the background are called Leyland Cypress. Many plant them here for privacy or barrier.
 
Well - NO PRIZE for me! But, I did live in Tennessee and Kentucky for awhile so you'll know I say with respect..."them trees shure look purty to me!"


A great project -- FYI -- our projectright now is just keeping the carboys and fermenters warm -- 2" of new snow last night, above freezing to mid-30's today and supposed to be below zero tonight and colder tomorrow! So, overnight I've got heating pads (on low) under my carboy of Bourgeron Rouge and primary of 3 day old Pinot Noir (doing nicely!) and both wrapped in foam camp pads -- and at that, the carboy is 72F and the primary is 78F -- OK -- you other northerners with all the stars by your name are laughing, but I'm LEARNING!

Well ja den, it be gettin' cold up here t'nite. We're lookin' at 19 below tonight, and that is Ferenheit folks! If you have a cupboard, a light bulb will help to keep those incubating chicks of yours warm!


Poor Bert went out to plug in my car for the first time this winter. The cord sparked and smoked. Guess it's shot!

I'll have to start that baby up well before launch time tomorrow! Keep your fingers and toes well covered. And, "Keep your stick on the ice. We're all in this together." Red Green
 
You know, you gotta keep that cord from hanging down below the bumper so that it hits the ground with every pothole! Then you don't have to say, "gee...I wonder how these prongs got so short...."

No kidding! A few years ago someone from down south moved up here and didn't know diddly about winter readiness. I suggested he get a block heater installed, and a good locally owned place to do so. A few days later I noticed the cord hanging out of the grill of his truck. I told him I was pleased to see that he'd gotten the heater installed but let him know that "real men" don't use the plug cover.

He looked at me like there was something wrong with me.
