Hey John, I still have quite a bit of space to fill so I am still about the same but like you are experiencing I see things dropping as it gets filled. the month of July was about 16 kwh.

Finally the carpet is getting installed today thus marking the completion of the wine cellar / rec room project.I'll post final pics later today. :db

I made a short video of the interior of the cellar the other day. Its such a small footprint photos are difficult without a super wide angle lense. https://youtu.be/IpM0A-g7SeI I also updated the progress pic page on my website - http://www.ramsey-nerds.com/blog/the-wine-cellar-project/

I finished up the trim this weekend. I am now ready for paint then carpet. I will clarify... that this is the remainder of the basement. The cellar is running great.

I would think that a couple of months wouldn't hurt but the constant swings in temperature would probably be far worse. If and when I display anything is is uber cheap wine or better yet I will save a bottle of something I really enjoyed and display that.

I purchased my cooling unit from CellarProCoolingSystems.com. For all intents and purposes my cellar is based on 7'x7' though I am below grade in my application but you may be in the larger series of the cellarpro 1800's. They will do a free thermal load calculation for your space and recommend...

Glad you found it useful. It will handle anything from splits up to a 3-1/2" diameter. Good luck on your build.

Thanks Andy, You make a valid point regarding A/C units. This is why I specifically chose to use a wine cooling unit made for my cellar's size and capacity. There were a lot of variables that went into the sizing which included the cellars physical location, exterior wall construction and where...

You and me both friend. I am at 9% :HB Hoping to be 50% this summer yet.

Yeah now that it's been running I am at $0.10 per day at about .8 kWh. Once the bottles are in there I expect that to drop to about .6 kWh.

OK it's been a little wile since my last post. I've been super busy at work and haven't had time to work on the cellar much. Here is where we are. The walls have been painted, all racking is built and installed, locks installed and the unit powered on for a 24 hour test. :db I still have...

Not too much new to post yet. Kind of stalled at the moment... wife had to have eye surgery, going through an acquisition at work. Been drinking plenty of wine though :h I did get the second unit assembled. trying to get the third one done as time allows.

There is trim that still needs to be installed on the front. I need to paint the walls before final assembly.

Sorry been a busy few weeks at work.

Man, you are a little late to the party and punctuation is your friend....
