Built a threshold for the cellar door today. Started with an oak 1×10, then I ripped to width, cut to length, notched the corners (for door trim), beveled the top edges, and cut rabbets to accommodate flooring. Hopefully I’ll be able to sand and install it tomorrow. #wine #ProjectWineCellar #woodworking

An oak board clamped to a woodworking bench. Painter’s tape covers the corners and midline where measurements are marked. End view of the work-in-progress threshold showing the top bevels. End view of the finished threshold with a plank of flooring slid into the rabbets that were cut into the bottom of the threshold.

Today’s project was installing vinyl plank flooring in the wine cellar. This is the first time I’ve ever done flooring, so I had a lot of waste at first. But once I got the hang of it, it went in really easy. #wine #ProjectWineCellar

A floating snap-together vinyl plank floor, installed in the wine cellar. The flooring is meant to look like oak, and looks surprisingly realistic.

✅ I voted in our municipal elections. ??

I was very happy to see that they have added a paper receipt to our electronic voting machines this year. They’re a little late to that innovation, but better late than never. ? An sticker applied to my shirt that reads “I Voted”

I got the second wall of shelves cut, sealed, installed, and (best of all) level.

Next steps: flooring and door.

A partially assembled wall of wine bins built out of 1x10 pine boards. A head on view of the finished wall of wine bins. Each bin measures 13 inches wide by 9 inches tall by 10 inches deep. The wall of bins is three bins wide by 8 bins high. A photo of the corner showing where the new wall of bins meets the wall of bins I built earlier. A red torpedo level sitting on a shelf. The level bubble shows that the shelf is dead level.

Now we’re sitting on our flight home waiting for take off. It was a great trip, and Scotland is a beautiful country filled with friendly people. But it will be nice to be home. Next stop, USA!
