I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

Good morning. I just love watching you work. The right tools make the job easier.
NICE
Yes they do!
Nothing wrong with taking a little pride in your work. Those few extra boards, and time finish out the look! Well done!
thank you when i watch you i feel so good that there are people like you in this world keep up the good work and ingnore the hatters
Thanks
Hopefully it will stay cool in the root cellar all year. It should with all that insulation.
Hey Al....one word brother....PERFECT!!
Al I don't mind seeing your wife and daughter enjoying the healthy nourishing meals you work so hard to provide for them. Keep the videos coming!
Awesome looking "root cellar" entrance, it does look mine shaftish. lol
I love your diy attitude and work. I'm inspired by you and things you you do and build for your family.
Good morning Lumnah Acres! Good progress in this video, can't wait to see the door mount. God Bless
Looking awesome. It really looks like the entry to a mineshaft. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
Thanks, I am having fun building this project.
The finishing touches are lovely1
LOL my OCD says put the 4 inch one in the middle. Just because it is your cave doesn't mean it has to be ugly. It looks really nice, looking forward to tomorrow's video.
I can't wait to see what you put in it . Great job
That will be the really fun part! Growing a bunch of great food to fill the root cellar with!
Love the trim work
Absolutely beautiful!
Always a good detailed product from you Al....Looking fine😘🚪
Looks really good
It looks much nicer with the rough sawn trim, it adds a lot more character. It's coming along nicely, it should look great with the door installed.
When cutting your R board, use a sharp pocket knife, it won't leave all the nasty crumbs you get from sawing. It may take several passes to cut through but not any more time. You could also just score and snap, like you did with the factory pre-scoring.
Your table saw with stand, appears to be close to the same height as your miter box stand. When ripping long boards you might be able to use the work supports on your miter saw stand as out feed supports for you table saw. That would make for safer ripping when you get near to the end of the cuts.
You mentioned the rip cuts closing and binding on your table saw blade. Try jamming wood shims into the cuts to keep them open, to prevent the binding. Please start using push sticks to finish your rips. Even just a simple length of scrap 1 x 2 with a notch in one end is safer than having your hand so close to the blade. In the blink of an eye you can cause serious damage. Saws are merciless.
Great tip with the shims! Thanks for sharing that one!
Got to love that stove!!!
OMG I want a man with your skills!!! No hating, please. I know, I know....get those skills myself but there's only so much an old lady can do! You make it look so easy and you have such a great attitude!
Al, when I was a kid in the 40s, 50s and early 60s, my dad's cape cod home heated off of coal and a round furnace that was in the middle of the basement. It had a heat exchanger built around the burning chamber for the coal. The heat would rise by itself and the cold air would drop via the cold air returns. The coal furnace acted just like your wood stove/furnace.
beau travail !
Totally like you're door, a good look, screws, glue and foam, door past inspection ;)
First time viewer of your channel & looking forward to many more! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping over! :)
Looking good.
Looking nicer every time! :)
Great job as always!! There are several channels I follow and yours is one of them. Look forward to your new videos, Thank You for sharing your Farm life with us. PS, you have a beautiful family👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
Great video. Keep em coming!
Below zero! That's why I no longer wanted to live in New England anymore! This root cellar is going to be so awesome when you are done! 👍
Looks great guys! TFS! God Bless ~Lisa
Whoa Al, looking great, going to come in very handy for your meats and vegetables.Hope you and your family have a safe and happy holidays.
Thanks, We hope you have a Merry Christmas
Looking Great Al ! Sitting on the edge of my seat to find out how you'll hang that door tomorrow.
I'm wondering what kind of hardware will be used?
Its going to be fun
good day Al !! all looks fantastic so far buddy !!
I like ur attitude man .good. Morning to u and this comment is even before watching ur Vedio 😄 coffee is always good in the morning
Thank you AL for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐈🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Awesome job Al, as usual. It would look great if you trim out the long wall facing the open part of the basement too. Over by the freezer, who cares?
Looks great!
For Pete’s sake, Al. You even make your root cellar look cool ❤️😂🤣❤️
The trim work is looking excellent and it really is starting to look like the entrance to King Solomon's Mines or somesuch, or it could be from that lesser known movie _"New Hampshire Al and the Temple of Food"_ ;)

Simon my friend, how are you doing?
Its great having you back SIMON! :)
Heya Terri Poulin - I was just wondering how you were doing earlier today! Hope all is well with you. I'm good. Life has been messy for a while but I'm alive and glad to be back on here :)
I'm so glad you're doing well now. Every time I make chicken Marsala, I think of you! :D Did you get hit hard with all the rain in the UK?
I'm going through a big mess right now and it just seems to get bigger - I was gone for 3 weeks looking for property because I'm now losing my farm. My daughter passed away, all my furniture taken away, farm equipment taken away, most of my animals taken, my truck broke down, now my house and farm are being taken away. Feels like I'm walking in the footsteps of Job (or the makings of a good country song!!) - the good news, Job was blessed 10x what he lost. I'm praying that is in my future. It is hard walking through it and it's very easy to feel overwhelmed but I'm forcing myself to stay at peace and not put my hope in what's in front of me. I desperately need to find a place to relocate and figure out how to move a farm! Other than that, I'm quite well!
Terri Poulin - I am deeply saddened to hear about your daughter and your current woes with the farm. You're a lovely person and deserve better than that. It seems like we're on similar paths at the moment. My health issues resulted in me also losing my own home and all my belongings as I was too ill to deal with it all which resulted in them being repossessed. I therefore ended up relocating the 10,000 miles back to Australia and just after arriving back here, my closest brother passed away and then my mum passed away a few weeks later. So, somehow I've gone from a high end London job with my own house in the UK, to living unemployed in a shed in semi-rural Australia but I've decided to see it as a cleansing process, to view the shed as a test case for a _'tiny house'_ lifestyle and to reflect upon the fact that I'm blessed to be alive _(which, to be honest, wasn't the expected result health-wise)_ I also hope to start trying some homestead activities such as growing vegetables soon and see where life takes me... Meanwhile, at least I get to start watching Al's inspirational videos and be part of that wonderful community again. I pray that you find a solution to your issues with the farm and that life soon treats you better!
Your videos are very educational. Thank you. The root cellar looks Elizabethan!
Looks beautiful man!! My in house pantry is about 1/5 of that haha! Gonna work on my basement in the next few weeks. Need space for next years harvest :). Cant wait for the next video
How big of an area do you want to make?
Lumnah Acres well i live in an apartment building. The basement i have is about 7ft wide by 16ft deep. I hope to use at least half for vegetable storage. Mostly just potatoes and root veggies. I have a 3000sqft garden about half a mile from my home. In which im gonna try to get self sufficient next year. Been working since summer to get it going. I have most of that on instagram name: bigbadthomazzz. Sadly i cant store anything on the garden since i cant build a rootcellar. The shed in mid summer gets over 100f so no way i can leave produce there. The basement stays nice and cool all year so thats great. Cant wait for spring :)
That sounds like an awesome garden!
Using glue and screws, as the wood dries it will split. Nails will give and move a bit with the wood; or you could make slightly overlarge holes for the screws so the wood can move a little.
Hi...... AL, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🐐🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
I don't remember a "stormy cromer?" I would say its an Elymer Fudd hat, nice n toasty!
LOOOOOOKS GOOD GOD BLESS
Its not a cave, it's a mine shaft! :D
Amazing how some people make thing so difficult! Also why would you glue surface and then put screws in and a
That foam board did not want to cooperate! Would it have been easier to just cut it? I probably would have busted the whole board into some major sigogglin pieces!!😲 I see bee supers on the shelf!! 😳 Um...that Great Stuff, it's more like very messy stuff!
I think your cave has some Tudor roots! I can't wait to see that door installed, its looking real nice!
What is the purpose of using wood glue if you are also using screws?
Wow, that looks awesome!! How much time would you say it has taken you to build this root cellar? I can't wait to see the door go on. ~~Leslie
Why don't you just set up the chop saw right there in the basement? All you need to is sweep up sawdust when you are finished.
Love the little room!
Id like to hear about your wood stove. Have you included it before?
am I the first one to comment. have a great day Al. enjoy the videos
Rewatching these videos and wondering, did you connect the cellar to the floor, like bolt it down ? We are gearing up to build a cold room in our garage and was wondering.
Woooah
drywall screws ? Can you get them in 3" I wonder??
👍 👍
if you heat your whole house with that wood burner in the basement, it must get pretty warm down there? How do you get heat upstairs?
I will do a video on this
OKey dokey.
Al....tell me about that hat! Maker? Where you found it? We have two but they always seem to slide down over our eyes...that one you have sits just right.
I believe it is probably from Stormy Kromer? _(Al usually has a link with a discount code in the video description...)_

Yup what the other Modern Steaders said
How are the pigs doing? I've missed any update have they settled down to new home?
They are doing great they are in the Friday update
you could put some of those fake rock masonry things on the outside but should of gone with cement board first
Very nice, will you keep it at root cellar temperature or colder with refrigeration?
That is still TBD
Isn't the use of liquid nails to be avoided with foam? I thought there were sometimes issues with it eating the foam over time? I don't want to be a know it all, I'm just wondering.
They make a special liquid nails for foam
Should of used 3/4 plywood thicker then those boards.
Set the clutch on drill and won’t have to play with trigger when screw is almost tightened! Must be a man thing!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙏
Dumb question why didn't you fill your root cellar walls and door with compacted saw dust would have been cheaper an more green? Realise would have taken longer to compact but would have lasted forever. Freinds had one been working for 100 year's.
Screwed and glued and then clamped it!! I’m confused
That door is well tested...it's had a cat scan...
BAHAHAHA! That's a good gut buster one!
Will look good with all kinds of meats hanging in there.
Wasted a lot of glue on the insulation. Why glue? Where's it going to go between the wood skins.?
YOU LIKE NAMES FOR EVERYTHING , HOW ABOUT "FOOD MINE"
Is there no clutch on that poor drill? If there is, set it and pull the trigger one time, following the screw into the wood until the clutch slips, then release the trigger.... Oh wait, you have an air nailer and you screwed those boards onto the door frame instead..SMDH
thumbs down - you can fast forward in less than a minute to get the idea what you need
