Wine Cellar Opinions Needed

[mrramsey]

I finished up the trim this weekend. I am now ready for paint then carpet. I will clarify... that this is the remainder of the basement. The cellar is running great.

I made a short video of the interior of the cellar the other day. Its such a small footprint photos are difficult without a super wide angle lense.

I also updated the progress pic page on my website - http://www.ramsey-nerds.com/blog/the-wine-cellar-project/

Finally the carpet is getting installed today thus marking the completion of the wine cellar / rec room project.I'll post final pics later today.

Mike, how's your power usage looking as you've gotten the cellar loaded with wine? I've noticed a marked decrease in run time and frequency as I've added more wine into the room. My bottle racks / diamonds are about half full now, and just a few empty spots in the carboy racks, 3 barrels in there also, seems to be running 1/3 or so less than before. I don't have a monitor like you do, so curious what real data is looking like.

Hey John, I still have quite a bit of space to fill so I am still about the same but like you are experiencing I see things dropping as it gets filled. the month of July was about 16 kwh.
