New wine room

[Boatboy24]

Wow. Just, wow!

 

[bakervinyard]

Wish I had that kind of room to make my wines, never mind that great table !

 

[Charlietuna]

So far so good. All the excruciating detail & time in waterproofing this room seems to be holding to this rain. The next few days will tell the tale.

 

[Charlietuna]

Floor cleaned, sealed & coated.

This is just after I had all the junk out & ready to start. Big change & most of the work was in prep. Not just the painting.

Although it looks CLEAN and BRIGHT now I really liked the old rustic brick and beam!!!!

 

[Runningwolf]

OMG, I thought I was looking at before and after in that order also. I loved the red brick. Is this actually your basement. It looks like a warehouse. I never saw brick in a basement before, but I like it.

 

[Pumpkinman]

You have done a lot of work! My compliments!

 

[Charlietuna]

Everyone told me to save the brick, but unfortunately it was actually in very bad shape. I had to so drainage from the exterior & waterproofing from the interior. It wasn't as pretty close up as u may think. Lots of work needed.

I have a game room above in a nice 20x20. Pool table, foosball, darts, poker & air hockey. My 5 & 8 yr olds love it.

Had termites, but think I've got them under control.

Charlie, I think it looks great. That is one heck of a lot of work but well worth it.

 

[Boatboy24]

Looking good, CT!

 

[Charlietuna]

Here's the building. The doors are my next project. The left will be sealed completely, the right I'm going to modify into a steel occupant door & locking swing out. I want to keep it rustic looking & original as possible.

You can see the fruit trees up on the hill. Many varieties of apple, cherry, peach & plum.

A home winemaker's dream!

Now you just need a tasting room and you are all set.

Now you just need a tasting room and you are all set.

I thought that was what is on the second floor!

 

[Charlietuna]

Trying to do a little over the winter. The doors have been framed in, insulated & sealed / waterproofed on the inside. I wanted to keep them as original as possible on the outside so I used the old shed doors. Installed the occupant door & made it secure. Plumbing is all purchased, just need to get the stainless steel tables & sinks leveled & secured before running water lines. Should be ready way ahead of harvest this year.

Very cool. We all could only wish to have this to work with.

 

[Charlietuna]

Thanks runningwolf! Sometimes I think this old farm is a blessing, sometimes the amount of work it needs & the upkeep can be exhausting. Here are some new pics from inside. It's getting very close to useable.
