Since we bought the house, I have been so excited to get shelves built into it. I really wanted to just pack up my storage and canning supplies and move them in and put them on shelves. I didn't want them packed in boxes and stacked in the garage like everything else will be. I finally convinced Perry that we could get it done. I went down and painted all the walls and floors with Kilz paint to seal it all. (except that spot you can see on the floor. The ladder sat there. I still need to finish that spot. 😁) Perry went to work and designed real stairs for it instead of the existing ladder. Then he and I designed the shelves to fit everything in just right. In June, we bought the wood and headed down to Fountain Green. He and Chanse got it all framed and I had jars waiting to put in there. It still needs a light and eventually a spring loaded hatch door but it looks wonderful!!! I made another trip a couple of weeks later with all my buckets of wheat, canning supplies and a some of my jars of food. I love it!!!! I joking tell him that when the rest of the home is still in chaos during the remodel, I will just go down in my bomb shelter and enjoy the order. Thanks Guys!!! Makes this OCD girl happy!!!

Oh Happy Day!!!
So as you saw from when we redid the kitchen floor joists and subfloor, we have a cold storage room. It is approximately 10 ft. x 10 ft. I call it the bomb shelter.
