And someone had dug down a hole, I guess a sort of shallow well, in the cellar. The well was fed by a small stream, so in the summer, they had a place to store th ings that needed to stay cold.<br /><br />That house was there from sometime in the 1600 to 1700's until it was torn down to build a housing complex. :(<br /><br />But in my memory, it is still there.Mary Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908550586505392408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13791174.post-74951884814299375872010-07-27T13:48:31.120-04:002010-07-27T13:48:31.120-04:00I was scared of my grandmother's also.

In the old days, you had to have one or your food would not keep until the next spring.katlupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09159828606045286858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13791174.post-77535038551646483132010-07-27T13:40:41.805-04:002010-07-27T13:40:41.805-04:00When I was a kid, I was scared to death of my Gran...When I was a kid, I was scared to death of my Grandma's root cellar. It was so creepy going in there. Looking at those pictures brought back some memories for me.kathyj333https://www.blogger.com/profile/15110175842037413974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13791174.post-72868011933794105982010-07-25T15:10:29.518-04:002010-07-25T15:10:29.518-04:00You are so lucky to have a root cellar!

I'm going to go and check the site you mentioned using earthbags. I really want to start canning and preserving our own food, so if you don't mind, I'm going to wander around your site and try and get some ideas :)tahtimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597025991965701257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13791174.post-13251997969552617762010-07-25T12:51:18.157-04:002010-07-25T12:51:18.157-04:00Well Sunny, the whole "modern homesteading&qu...Well Sunny, the whole "modern homesteading" movement is about just that.........preparing for those times. Even if it never happens, as I have found in my own life, there are times when you may not have any money coming in at all or someone is sick or your money has to pay for something not being food and utilities. Then what do you do? Best to prepare and stock up and implement ways of doing things on your own with no outside help. Be Prepared!katlupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09159828606045286858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13791174.post-80184106341605444622010-07-25T11:56:45.683-04:002010-07-25T11:56:45.683-04:00I enjoy reading your blog so much.

I guess I read too many Sci-Fi books, but I always think about what would happen in a world-wide catastrophe.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247722361880680989noreply@blogger.com
