Love your cold room!! So practical in TX. Being inspired by this, Dean has put in shelving for me in an outbuilding and I am using it for canned storage and paper goods at the moment. Now I can have a year's supply of these types of items. Since there is no electricity in that building, I'll have to use it for that purpose only. Maybe someday soon. Great video as always!
Wow! That's awesome! I'm sure it's going to turn out great. Slow and steady wins the race! Do you have a TH-cam channel? I'd love to follow what y'all have going on.
We have a 12x24 shed that we have a window unit in and radiator heaters during the winter. We actually have it split into two rooms (you can go see in my new pantry tour video from almost two years ago) so I can keep the temps divided for whats needed. We are in west tn
Thank you for sharing about your shed setup-it sounds like a great way to manage different temperatures! Splitting it into two rooms is such a smart idea, and I’ll definitely check out your pantry tour video. West Tennessee can have some challenging weather, so it’s great to hear how you’ve made it work with a window unit and radiator heaters. Thanks for sharing!
@tinyshedlife we also plan to sell this property in 6-8 years when the kids graduate and move our sheds to some land and make them our home so we've been learning lately in areas of concern so we can begin to set them up in a useful way that can convert to a home more easily once we are at that point to move. We have 2 12x24 sheds at the moment. I think we are either planning on connecting them at one end of one to the middle of the other in a T shape OR keeping them separate and building between them like yall did. My husband likes that idea lol. I showed him your tour. We MIGHT have it "figured out" by then....and then it will change and we have to start all over 🤣
Just discovered you! I live in North Texas and am hoping to have a root cellar! What do I need to do or who do I need to ask about whether or not we can put a root cellar under our home (before we build)… do you know? Thank you!
Welcome to the channel-thank you for being here! How exciting that you're planning a root cellar in North Texas! Root cellars and basements are rare in Texas due to expansive clay soils, high water tables, and our shallow frost line (5" where I am and about 20 inches in North Texas). Unlike northern areas where foundations must go 5-6 feet deep, making basements more cost-effective, it’s typically cheaper here to build outward rather than downward. That said, I’ve seen one home in Amarillo with a basement, but it’s definitely uncommon! To plan your root cellar, consult a local geotechnical engineer to evaluate soil and water conditions, a structural engineer to ensure the foundation can accommodate it, and your local building department for codes and permits. Be sure to discuss insulation, ventilation, and drainage with your builder for the best results. I hope this helps, and I’d love to hear how your plans progress!
@ How kind of you to share all of this information! Thank you!☺️ It’ll be a while, but I absolutely will keep you posted! We are homesteading in Dublin-Desdemona, TX (we practically have one foot in Dublin and one in Desdemona😆), we also took a shed and are turning it into a cottage while living in it!😅 It’s taking forever, and I’m ready for some normalcy!🤣

What a great goal! I'd love a year worth of all our general goods. Such good piece of mind. Thank you for always be the best supporter 💛
I'm just now building my kitchen cabinets. Plywood from a wholesaler was delivered yesterday. I can't wait until I've caught up to your progress.

I remember you telling me that. It will be a big advantage to have it all planned out at the beginning!
@@tinyshedlife hope so, I'm trying!
Thanks for sharing
You bet! Thanks for watching! 💛
I truly enjoyed watching the replay ❤I'm new to your channel ❤
Welcome! And thank you for subscribing. I'm glad you enjoyed the video 💛
Would moving the "broken" bin to the center help keep broken piece on?
I'll have to try that! It such a nuisance, but thankfully they still work fine. Thanks for your suggestion.

Of course! I love all my YT friends! Great job planning ahead and I totally understand the need for normalcy lol
If you move your oats to the far right, being up against another unit might prevent that piece from falling off every time you use it.
Great suggestion. I'm going to give that a try! Thank you!
