- I have figured out how I want to vent our root cellar and get cold air into the root cellar to cool it. While bringing fresh air in.

I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

I am beginning to think there isn't anything you can't figure out and make work. It is facinating watching how your mind works. I look forward to you videos. I have used your videos to help figure out problems in my home. Thank you. I wish you a very happy New Year and good things to come in 2018.
Having worked at HD, the reason the stickers are so hard to get off is because unscrupulous people switch the stickers from something cheaper knowing it will just get scanned and out the door they go. This prevents that. They do it when the store is super busy and the check out lines are long. Checkers are doing their best to get people through the line before tempers flair.
Al you amaze me with all of your ingenuity! I was just telling my husband we need to build a walk in fridge like yours in our unfinished basement
I used rubber bands on either end of the stove pipe to get started. It held it fairly closed so there was much less wrestling. Merry Christmas from Arizona.
Merry Christmas to you all. Thanks for all you do, Al. May 2018 be all smiles. I pray that GOD holds you in the palm of his hand.
Wicked ‘cool’ build Al!!
Heat up the stickers, they peel right off, and WD-40 works really well also. Merry Christmas!
a good blow torch, love it.
When using a jigsaw for making cuts in tight spaces it sometimes works better if you put the blade in the saw backwards and pull the saw through the cut. This can also help to keep the saw from bouncing off the work surface in some situations.
Your science using the 'natural draft' method is very good! I might have chosen schedule 20 pvc for the vent paths (you could still use the dampers) and the main reason is metal has a stronger aversion to sweating/condensation. 44 deg. is very close to your desired temp. It will be interesting to see if the temperature holds seeing you didn't finish the piping installation. Great job as always! Merry Christmas Lumnah Acres
I thought of using PVC pipe but I also thought the galvanized would look nicer too. I didn't realize the sweating point. I have to keep that in mind if we have any issues. Thanks for the info. Merry Christmas to you and Becky!
@@LumnahAcreshow has it turned out so far?? Curious to know as we are just building ours in our basement!
Had not thought I would want to install a root cellar, but I can see the benefits even in the city. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all the modern steaders.
hi good afternoon Al Gina and Olivia, its always a pleasure getting home and watching one of your beautiful video, watching your handy work always leave you satisfied and smiling with satisfaction keep the videos coming till the next Video God bless beautiful family bye 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🌈⛅🐈🐕🐔🐓🐔🐔👌👌👌👌👌💕💕💕💕💕💕🐖🐖🍴🍎🍎🍏🍏🍠🍠🍅🍄🍂🌻🏡🔨🚜.
Merry Christmas to your family and may 2018 bring blessings of love and joy to all.
I would probably drill holes in that second plywood as well and fill the center of the two with some insulation foam. That way the only air exchange would be through the vents and it would be easy to control. Maybe later you could go back and install glass block or something similar to give the room a natural light source when needed as well.
You do not want light in a root cellar because that can cause bacteria to grow but the insulation idea is really good. Control of the air exchange is key.
True. I was thinking a blackout shade over the glass block, then you could open it when you needed it and shut it otherwise. I guess just prefer natural light over a switch when possible.
I much prefer the natural light over light bulbs as well!
MERRY CHRISTMASS HOMESTEADERS. Al, Gina and Olivia, I hope you have a great day.
Have a Merry Christmas Lumnah family.
Merry Christmas Al. Love all your videos
Awesome job so far guys it will be interesting to see how low the temperature will get in there !! Thanks for sharing, take care and God bless
Merry Christmas and best wishes for a grace filled New Year! Oh, and thank you for the coupon code for the Rite Farm Products!
YW! Merry Christmas!
Hey Al I have the same mechanic box. 1st edition with no roller drawers. Love your channel
I admire how you always put a goodly amount of thought into your projects and this is definitely one of the better examples I've seen of a RUclipsr _venting_ on here, even if it did look a little _exhausting_ ... Do you open presents on Christmas Eve or on Christmas day by the way? Merry Christmas Eve to you, Gina and Olivia and all! 🎄 🐻 ☃️ 🎄
We open our family presents on Christmas day. What do you do Simon.
Traditionally we'd choose and open one _(vetted)_ present on Christmas eve and the main present opening would be Christmas morning...
Merry Christmas Al, Olivia, Gina, Pluto and Figero.
I used the silvery metal duct tape to keep the air in the pipe and to guarantee that pipe wouldn't pop open in the future.
Excellent information. Thanks Al! God Bless!
Have a very Merry Christmas!
Looking great. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
Merry Christmas homesteaders.
Merry Christmas to all of you!
Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing
Merry Christmas Al, to you and yours. I am not sure why you did not cut the pipe when it was flat. I do understand using the jig saw. We had a root cellar when I grew up. We kept potatoes over the winter and into spring. I am not sure why you want or need a damper. Rodents or air control? Happy Holidays to the whole forum. God bless America.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. God bless y'all.
That was so funny we're all about reduce reuse recycle over here and just as you're over there talking about taking the sticker off and you can't get the glue off I'm over here scrubbing a container and I can't get the glue off and it's a really nice container there we can store different products in but we bought chips in it lol. I so agree with you how is it so hard to get glue off. Lol
Happy Holidays Al and all
Merry Christmas Blessed New Year!
Merry Christmas
That root cellar is going to be SO awesome! Nice job, as usual! :-D Merry Christmas Eve day! We've got a winter storm coming in Ohio today, so we're battening down the hatches here and readying for a nice, quiet, cozy Christmas Eve with some homemade soup, bread, and Christmas cookies! ~~Leslie
Al Lumnah Acres : Easy-peasy way to remove stickers, use a hairdryer aimed at the sticker. The heat melts the sticker glue and makes it very simple to peel the sticker off. Or go about it the "manly" way and use a heat shrink gun. Same principle! :)
Yes, that will get a sticker off, but may I add: after you heat the sticker, scrap it off with a plastic card, like a credit card. [ This is also super in washing dishes]
Hi Al can i suggest adding. a computer fan to the cold intake you can add solar panel to run the fan
Check out PVC "Mozziestoppas" for your screens. They are rainwater harvesting screen fittings.
They do have stickers that peel off easier. But the hard to remove ones are much cheaper I would think.
Merry christmas
Looking great Al! :)
Oh, I so agree about the darn stickers. Why use such tough glue on things where you will need to remove them.
Great root cellar! Will you be putting some sort of netting/grid over the pipes on the outside to reduce rodent access? By the way Merry Christmas to you all.
to get the stickers off easy heat it up with a lighter they should peel right off
Al, put olive on labels, get goof off for the glue!!
May ur New Year bring u health happiness peace n success God bless
1/4X1/r4 sefl tapping hex head screws. Use aluminum tape to seal all joints. but not on the elbows.
Hey Andy, why not put pipes on the outside and make it one loop, then you don't have to worry about critters and the pipe will get cold enough to cool the room.
If I do that I wont be getting any fresh air in to the roo cellar
Headly Lemar - Andy is the Rooster, Al is the Actor, Producer, Director, Jack of All Trades & Master of them All!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well that's good to know. He is quite the actor, more like a character to me.
Make a paste of coconut oil and baking soda. It will remove anything. Well, it removes stickers, paint and pine tar. That’s all I’ve tested.
We will have to try that trick. Thanks for sharing
Why not use round screw clamps like on hoses or a strap?
Your local store didn't have dryer vent caps? Don't you need to keep the rain out? Merry Christmas Eve from sunny Arizona. 66f today.
If you use goof off they come of easy. No more stickers.
When you cut the pipe with the electric tape around... do you cut on the tape or to the side of it?
I cut around the side of the tape
I know this project was completed over 6 years ago and they have moved to their off grid property, but...has anyone completed a similar project? What have the results been? I dont see why this would not work as designed, but wondering if anyone has first hand experience to share? Thanks
Hi.... AL nice to see you I love your video, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🌱🐐🏡🎥👍👍👍
Rim Joist not sill plate, sill plates sit on the foundation flat to which rim joist attach to. Also I would not put a 4" hole through your rim joist unless it was a min. of 2x14, you will compromise the structural rigidity of the joist unless it's an engineered lumber product. Though I am not a huge fan of the IBC there are really good quick reference tables in it for how where and size lumber to use for strength and where and how to put holes in them to retain rigidity and strength. Putting holes through a foundation wall like you have would be structurally sound as compared to the rim joists.
Those stickers prevent shoplifting or sticker swapping to get a lower price. it's the price honest people have to pay for the dishonest. 😐
You left a sticker on your damper
With all of those sparks flying every which way, you really need side shields on your glasses or wear goggles. xoxo from Arizona.
Don't like stickers---Get "GOO Gone". Spray it on, let it soak a few minutes and wipe off the sticky glue.
Use Goo Gone
Merry Christmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you too!
