Peter,


Didn't you just move to a new house recently? Are basements common in the area in which you live?

I did just move into a new house, but basements are almost unheard of in the south. I think it is a frost line issue. Up north the frost line is about 4' down, and building codes require that the footings for the house go 12 - 14" below the frost lines to prevent frost heaving. If you are already down 5' you might as well go down 8' and put in the basement.


Here in the Memphis area the frost line is about 1" so it is pretty expensive to put in a basement. Houses here are all built on concrete slabs.

I took the liberty of building you a winerack for your room. Now take a fireplace surround and mantel and place aroung the winerack and enjoy the ambiance of a nice rack of wine aging while watching television.

Here's what I built for you!

You folks are amazing...

 

[Joanie]

I think you're going to need a bigger TV!

Joan....You are so creative......That's a wonderful wine rack, and it has so many nice bottles of wine.....Fits the room so well.

Could you build me a room for making wines????? Just something simple....double sink, storage for supplies, empty bottle storage...maybe a fermenting area and also a nice little aging area would be nice....

 

[Joanie]

Do you have a 120' x 60' room?

There's no way I could fit all my stuff into anything smaller!

Hey I watch old mike and mike every morning, nice racks

 

[grapeman]

Great idea Joan. You used his own design wine racks! They were even at the right angle and perspective for the room and fit so nicely together! Always gotta show us mere mortals up !

I think you're going to need a bigger TV!

I love it when a woman says that!

TCB, awesome rule. Put 9 away and sample 9. I may use a similar rule.
Your wine looks wonderful!!!

 

[uavwmn]
