Decided to build something rather complex as a first project and it’s proving challenging at ever step of the way, but I’m really proud of how it’s turning out.

We’ll have a lot of work to clean the joints but it’s going to be worth it I think. Something for the generations to come, if it doesn’t collapse :-)

      Oh thank you! I will make weekly progress updates on the project 👍

      The cellar is at the furthest corner of the property and therefore must be completed first, so we can haul the building materials. The neighboring plots are 3m (10ft) higher so it’s tucked cleanly in a corner that would have been useless otherwise.

      It’s 2.75m wide, 3.75m long and the middle is 2.35m high.

      The vaulted ceiling will be completely buried, and the front entryway will be cladded with wood in the style a hobbit hole. The details aren’t set in stone yet, we take a challenge at a time.

        I’ve been wanting to make a root cellar/ beer cave for years. This looks great!
