Posts from our tripe to Ireland in July 2024. We were invited on this trip by our friends Jason and Beth Wagoner, who were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary.

So I rigged up the condensate line to drain into a trash can—just in case—and fired up the cooling unit. After a 24 hour test, the cellar was holding 55°F and there was just a few drops of water. It works! Huzzah! 🎉 #woodworking #diy #wine #ProjectWineCellar

The final step was to actually test the cooling unit to make sure everything worked. All the walls are insulated to R-21, and the ceiling is insulated to R-42, so I was pretty sure it would hold temperature. The real worry was the vapor barrier. If there was a significant leak, the cooling unit would basically be an overpowered dehumidifier and could dump buckets of water. #woodworking #diy #wine #ProjectWineCellar

This weekend was all about the refrigeration unit. I built a shelf for the cooling unit, then rebuilt it when I discovered that the drain line wasn’t where I thought it was. Then I trimmed out the hole where the unit is installed, then installed the cooling unit. #wine #woodworking #diy #ProjectWineCellar

Wine cellar update: Last weekend I worked on some of the finishing touches and installed baseboards and wall/ceiling trim. #woodworking #diy #wine #ProjectWineCellar
