Storage, pantry shelving

[Rod Paradise]

Wine might be cloudy, but from the sounds of it it would be effective http://www.suttonelms.org.uk/wine8.html. Someone without more respect for the law than I would suggest some distillation of the cloudy wine....

Although my dodgy memory seems to recall Toddy describing using freezing for refining home-made booze - so now could be the time to ferment then let the winter distil?

Good link, Rod.

I like that one Mary. I just loaded the first links I could find with good pix to illustrate the idea and see if that was indeed what you meant. I suspect someone with a bit of imagination and woodworking skills could build their own custom ideal quite a bit more cheaply.

One for you...

How do the rest of you manage store cupboards and pantries ?

....and one for you......

Thanks Stew. Both good links. That loft is a bit bigger project than I have room for in James' room though. Maybe in my next house though?

I guess so! I think it's pretty clever idea but guess if you have a low ceiling, not so good!

used builders planks in my ex-downstairs loo,used 2x2" as supports with 4 inch concrete screws,nothing is moving these babies! i have got the top 3 shelves 2 planks wide and the bottom 2 (easiest to get to) 4 wide,they are supporting over 400 cans between them,plus some dried goods,on the floor under the shelves i have home brew fermenting bins filled with rice,oats ,lentils ,mixed pulses,sugar,and flour.

toddy how big is your back garden because i have possible solution and that is why not build an 1940s style air raid shelter in it and the make it water tight and use that and then cover the out side with a veg plot like they used to do in 1940.
cos then u could have it as big as you wanted or you could spend 10.000 or more and have the house underpinned by a cellor and have dunn

What you are describing is a "root cellar" Drew - they work very well indeed done well, cool, dark, temperature stable all year round. Might make a hell of a mess of Mary's garden in the construction though

 

[drewdunnrespect]

yer but that could be put right once its built could it not

 

[British Red]

Yep - and we could just blast the hole out - would be quicker that way

 

[drewdunnrespect]

hellyer i will willingly help oh and i would also willingly help get rid of cake

me loves cake i do

 

[British Red]

...and we need to give her a big cellar - Mary did ask for more space.

If we used a really BIG charge, it would get rid of all the spoil at the same time

 

[drewdunnrespect]

yep but it might also remove the house to

 

[British Red]

Well, yes, but its not my house

rotfpmsl love it and fair play bud i like the idea
