• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Gotta get me one of these...

Very cool..!!

underground is naturally cooler without refrigeration. Cool idea if your in an area where this can be easily done and your a wine drinker...:thumbup:
 
Not quite the same as a wine cellar, but we have friends who restored an old farmhouse outside of Philadelphia. When they pulled out the back porch floor they found a hand-dug and brick lined well, they estimated to be 60 feet deep.

When they rebuilt the porch as a sunroom, he put a thick piece of acrylic over the top of the well and added a light shining down. The first time we went over he had the lights turned down on the porch, and told me to stand in one spot to look at a picture, which placed me on the acrylic sheet. He walked over and turned on the well light. I went straight up in the air, because the sensation was being suspended over the empty well.

He used a geothermal heating system, and dumped the water back into the well. In the dead of winter the water level would come within a few feet of the floor. An amazing house and restoration.
