A quick look at our root cellar circa 1870! We love it and think you will too! Thanks for watching! Be sure to watch our vid on how we harvested over 250 pounds of Yukon Golds with only 2 rows this year! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKkNKFTfUsM&list=PLbk7gxgV7R8ZCopF-_kGUKB-e4WsM0c7z&index=3

If walls could only talk!!!!! love it.
Such a beautiful home!!! You are truly blessed to be in the situation that you were in to obtain such structure and property not to mention the history that goes along with that it makes me so happy to see how proud you are to show it off I may still be a young man but I was raised through heritage, thank you so much for sharing this and I hope you understand and take full advantage is everything your house is because it's a lost soul but it will keep you alive through anyting it gives back!!!!
Beautiful stone work! Since your home is that old Is it a log cabin structure?
That was phenomenal, thank you!
Howdy
I saw a lot of spiritual activity going on down there. As is expected in such an old structure. Pretty cool, Patara. x, E.
Love the root cellar. The house my mama grew up in had one, and when Mam Ma would send me down to get something for her, I was so scared!
Our home growing up had the same type of basement so neat.
I couldn't see the overall size of the root cellar
Great for tornado weather as well
My great grandfather built a Rockhouse on the side was a hill he made a root celler in that hill out of rock with shelf's built in
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
Fun to explore – I find that household stories often get perpetuated as fact for a lifetime. I am guilty of it but ask around. The “shelf” was certainly nothing more than a structural accident; usually base footings are widest to minimize settling before going narrow and vertical to sill plate. The stairs were likely replaced at some point – at least treads above and looks from beneath that work was done. My neighbor had a hole in back of stone house which was for ice block delivery – I believed it because I saw how it went directly into original small “refrigerator box”. Ice guy probably had an arrangement with some customers and had snack and beverage perks 😉 Not sure most of us would want access to stuff at back of our refrigerator.
How large is that cellar?
Love it!!! Old homes are my favorite!
I know it had to be hard to leave this home.
I love history …so glad I found your channel. Enjoying everything you share in your journey .
Truly amazing! To make a root cellar was a lot of work back in those days! Not only is it great for keeping your potatoes, onions, etc., and your canned foods, but is also a wonderful tornado shelter!
It is beautiful! And I love that you use WISDOM in what you show. Cannot for life of me understand why people post all their stored goods, location, and tours that basically give blueprint of their homes. I enjoy your videos so much because you have God given common sense.
I’m from Pikeville, TN! I live in El Paso and the Adobe structures here and New Mexico are amazing as well
Excellent condition
Love the old cellar. Lucky girl
Awesome, so lucky I told hubby I want one so he is trying to figure it out. We do have a spot under the house that leads to a crawl space. I might get lucky!
thank, we have a likwise cellar, bricks and lime,…..1850………..perfect
Real chestnut is priceless. Congratulations!
That is really amazing. Root and storm shelter all in one. It's made beautifully. You were blessed to find it. Thank you for sharing it with us Patara.
Wow that’s really neat
