Man, I grew up on the Peninsula and we used to have friends all over the area, remember when Cañada Rd allowed automobile traffic, used to party at the Pulgas Water Temple, but never in my life…

You found my guest house :laughing:

I used to bike a lot on Cañada so the pedestrian Sundays were rather convenient. I hadn’t seen kids partying at the water temple for decades. If I remember correctly they put up gates to keep you crazy kids out after sundown.

It was the Friday night drag race locale.

Because your numbers are much smaller. Your taxes can go up 2% a year. So if they started at $1000 they’re only going up about 20 bucks a year which is hardly noticeable. When your taxes start at $60,000 or more a year the 2% changes are much more noticeable when you look at them as an outsider

That, and Brian’s assessed value out in rural land may just not be going up that much.

If you knew my assessed value you would choke.

@Nick_Ryan love this wall- I want to do this at our small lake house cellar. Curious what is behind the owc - drywall or greenboard? Also did you cut individual pieces of the OWC wood and then plane/sand the individual pieces or is the wall more ‘uneven’ and just glued/stapled together? Trying to figure out how I could replicate. Thank you in advance.

Updated picture with the cellar full (and slightly over capacity) at 4,750 bottles.

Cheers!

I love those sorts of ladder set-ups.

It’s just painted drywall, I use heavy-duty poster sticks to hold them up. Unfortunately the stickers won’t come off without pulling paint, but I have no intention of going back to a painted wall… I bought tons and tons of “pre-disassembled” wine box pieces from eBay, enough so that I had a big enough selection to fit most of them on the wall without cutting. But I did have to cut some with a jigsaw.

Gorgeous. Hold onto those upper bottles TIGHT when you retrieve them! Can you imagine the splatter range if one was dropped from the top of the ladder?!?

Incredible cellar. I hope it is situated somewhere without earthquakes!

Although almost all of them make my little primitive passive cellar seem . . . well . . . so pedestrian, I do really love seeing pictures of these really nice cellars. Keep 'em coming! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :wine_glass: :clinking_glasses:

I see these things and wonder where I went wrong.

That is not my beautiful house…

:tired_face:

Location, location, location… homes out there were in the low $100Ks in the early ‘70s

I could only imagine the cleanup required should I drop a bottle … bound to eventually happen i am sure

Yes this one is in Middle TN and not near a fault line (that we know of)

Thanks Nick. What poster sticky adhesive did you use? Any particular brand?
