[AT] Now cellars

[R Fink Sr]

   That is a good idea Herb. Don,t think mine will have that access
   although i am close to the wheel chair. But can work ok if i get in cab
   of back hoe.And i have a friend that has a couple excavators if needed.
   May come true yet.

   I have only seen a couple being built/or new in the past several
   decades.
   An antique track friend living in a tornado prone part of Alabama built
   a
   new home approx ten years ago; the short hallway is eight feet wide and
   the
   last twelve feet is a tornado proof room with computer and has
   wheelchair
   access.

   Ralph that is like under ground fruit cellars don,t find them any more.
   I have wanted one as long as i can remember and may get one where we
   live now. It is on a gental hill just right to bury a shipping
   container.
   will see

   Yes, sawdust or straw was used to insulate the snow/ice that was put in
   the ice house in winter. We used to have a nice little log ice house
   here when I was a kid .. Long gone now but I have dreams of building a
   replica of it some day..
