Getting semi-serious about a new cellar

[winoweenie]

Hotsie-Poo that sounds like a perfect addition to me. Mine is 36' with 4' higher ceilings. I had my son-in-law use 1X12" tongue-in-grooved planks to create 18"X18" diamonds. I think the most critical part of the process both for mine and yours is the insulation. I can assure you that this sucker stays +or- 2 degrees regardless what the outside temp is and from 50 to 75% humidity. We used 2" of solid insulation then 3 6-1/2" of fiberglass on all walls and the ceiling. I carpeted the floor ( which has saved MEENY dropped bottles ). In the 19 years I've been here it has performed better than any-one could imagine. You'll have 'nuff room to ax-chully buy wines in major quantities. With racking on both sides you should be able to store 3-3500 bottles. HAVE FUN. WW
