"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

• So cool how that evolved. Every farm needs a cellar like that. All's I get is gossipy family members dropping by unannounced, but I don't have a cellar. I need to build a cellar. Or move. :-p

• I am thinking that this recipe would be good for potato cakes, making flatter patties and frying them in a cast iron skillet.

• Sounds pretty much like the well house up at our friends' place in Iowa. Always warm in the winter and room for two or three to hang out amongst the tools and stuff and saddles and tack. And the frig is ALWAYS well stocked. You can even tie the horses up to the hitching rail.

• Interesting how things evolve, starting out with one purpose and becoming something so much more. The Christmas lights add a certain ambience, a country bar feel, not that I've ever been in one. I live in a very populated area. But you have to get together somewhere to plan your day......

• What a perfect spot! I wish I had one of the neon signs that says "OPEN" or "BUDWISER"-- I would send them to you! I think that is a wonderful repurpose for your cellar.

• It is nice to see they are getting along so nicley, just wait until kitty teaches Precious to "meow". Now that is a video that will go viral! One of our little dogs was always parked by a floor register in the Winter, he loved that warm flow of air.

• When you have workshops we can go down to the cellar for happy hour afterwards!
