A couple years ago we knew we would have to build a new root cellar. Not only was the current one letting the mice in, but we actually worried it would soon collapse in on itself.
We began drafting plans for the new root cellar, making a supply list, and pricing those items. We knew we’d save on costs by building it ourselves, and we really liked that idea anyway–we’d get exactly what we wanted.
I’m not going to lie to you–it’s not as easy as you might think. You’ve got to consider the water level, the frost line, drainage, and air flow, among other things. It’s not quite as simple as it may first appear.
