root celler questions

Thank goodness I have a decent-sized pantry in my 9x9 kitchen, but that's for tons of spices, storebought canned (like coconut milk for soaps, tomato paste), dried beans, oats, salt, etc.

We have a pantry planned for the basement right now...........

I've always dreamed of having a walk-in pantry with huge sturdy shelves on which to store canned goods....they get so dusty, webby and icky out in the cellar. Maybe one day......

My mom has one. Enormous kitchen (nearly 50 this Thanksgiving), walk-in pantry, a second sink with a work station. Sigh. Plus another canning kitchen in the basement.

Wow. That is a woman whose husband understands how to make a woman happy....what more could a woman want?

Oh we have plans for a big pantry too, but not near that big. I would LOVE a huge pantry! I guess we don't have canned goods in the root cellars here due to the high humidity throughout the year. It ruins the rings and lids here to store them outside. I have a cabinet to store them in in my kitchen when they aren't in use too. It is a pain, but saves me from having to buy new every year.

I feel like I have been slighted then. My hubs is a carpenter, as is his two brothers and dad...maybe I should light a fire under his tail

Nah..maybe we need to get some materials first It's been a long time in planning. Wish I had done it rather than building the back deck and if I'd known THEN how things were gonna get I would've!
