The best mini cellar?

[hotwine]

You did well to get the LW 50 for some labor. As for electrical service in the cellar.... had an electrician do all the work: removed and replaced service box for outbuildings, rewired workshop, laid underground service to cellar, installed a breaker box on the outside, with overhead light and switch, and service inside for split refrigeration system, plus lighting. And along the way, installed an outlet at the barbecue area, so I'm no longer cooking by flashlight. He was moonlighting from his real job, so charged me $20/hour. Wound up being about a grand, I think. The trench from the house for the conduit ran 180 feet. There has been NO impact on electricity consumption! Nada, zilch, zero. <P>I should add that about the same time, our old Sears deepfreeze died, and replaced it with a super-efficient upright. Can only conclude that the added consumption for the cellar chiller was offset by the more efficient freezer and upgraded service components.<P>[This message has been edited by hotwine (edited 01-08-2003).]<p>[This message has been edited by hotwine (edited 01-08-2003).]
