DIGGING THE ROOT CELLAR
Okay, it's dug!
Yesterday was a special day! I really used up a lot of energy and went at it hard, but the results are impressive, at least in my opinion.
After figuring out how to use a mini excavator for breakfast by digging a small pond I got right to work on digging a large hole to turn into a root cellar that will double as a storm shelter.
In the end, I wound up with the largest, deepest hole I've ever made. Now comes the hard work of finishing it up before the rain comes! We will see, but I'm excited. This is a massive step forward for us! The most #amazing part is that I did it all myself!

You are working that beast like a professional @papa-pepper!!! I LOVE it!!!!! take the little peppers for a ride in the scoop when finished 😉🌈🌴🦋❤️
Wow!! it's amazing !
Only after reading your post, I googles what actually root cellar is. It's like DIY refrigerator , to say the least.I must say, this is awesome. :D
Oh yeah! We are excited! Like always, there is still a lot of work to do!
Root cellar so important for food preservation and your families safety so glad you were able to make it a priority.
Great post can't wait to see your finished design.
Wonderful
The field work requires a lot of discipline, you show it and I think it's great that you teach the children's work ethic
Is it that difficult to operate an excavator, i really want to learn that too someday
This is a great work sir!
I have always learnt from your post and display.
Keep up the good work.
You should be proud of what you have accomplished in a short time. I just had a brain fart! Is that hole large enough for a container? If you don't have another use for the conatiner...you could bury it and use it as cold storage and have enough space for a storm shelter. Just my two pennies worth.
We'll be needing the shipping container for a few other things, but good thinkin!
