Let the cellaring begin.

Finally, my cellar is complete and the process of filling it can now begin. Demo'ing of the basement bedroom began a while ago and as usual life and work got in the way.

My racks and cooler were purchased from a local supplier winecellarsolutions.ca. The owner Louis Tilley, was an incredible resource, helping me choose the right equipment and giving me a number of wonderful pointers. Louis even came through as a technical resource on both the Sunday and Monday of labour day weekend answering my rookie questions via email within minutes.
I would absolutely recommend wine cellar solutIons.ca if you are considering installing or having a cellar installed, please give Louis a call.

The construction was a good learning exercise having never done any framing or drywalling myself before. I was smart enough to call on the services of an expert (Hugo) for my electrical needs as well as his father Marc for tiling.
Let the wrecking ball swing
Framing begins... i can see a door going there
That little step ladder was a big help

There's the drywall and the steel door is in
This is where the cooler will be going
The racking is in.... those first ones are for
my  burgundies
