Reply #6: We have a wonderful root cellar that goes down 14 steps under

[Quakerfriend]

the ground to a room that's 14x18 ft. and has a well built into the wall (that goes 150 ft down).
The house was built in 1689. I don't know when the root cellar was built but, it is still completely intact without any repairs all these years. It actually sits underneath the road. And, the road gets quite a bit of traffic now- 18 wheelers too!

I used to keep all of my garden vegetables down there (Bags of carrots, potatoes and beets hung from the ceiling and in cold boxes of sand). Nothing beats a root cellar!
