Cellar

For the last month three guys have been digging a big hole under the front of the house, and have now put in place the 'spiral cellar'. It has capacity for 1600 bottles, and the floor is over a foot above my head when I'm standing up straight in it. Gonna drop a safe in there too. When it's completely done there's going to be a trapdoor to get in. We've already got a couple of hundred bottles to put in there. If anyone's interested all up it cost 25 grand methinks, but should more than that in value to the house (you can't say the same about a swimming pool in Melbourne), so is a worthwhile investment (plus wine will be better in the long run) :-)
