On Sunday afternoon the contractor was back and he put the thermometer up so I can regulate the temperature in the root cellar. The module is next to the pantry door, easily seen and monitored. But we soon discovered the humidity reading is for the kitchen, not the root cellar. That had been reading 70 - 83% when the module was in the root cellar. I will have to shift around my thermometers so one with a humidity gauge is down in the root cellar.
The probe dropped down from upstairs is much farther back in the cellar than I thought it would be. That’s fine and might be better.
In cleaning out the clean room, I had found an extra towel holder in the mess. The contractor got that put up also.
Then he resumed work building the remaining shelves. First he had to get the sawhorses and lumber out of the root cellar so he’d have room to work.
He wasn’t crazy about putting pressure treated supports under the shelving, as we had been doing. But full jars of food can get really heavy and I prefer to overbuild than not.
So he went out and collected a bunch of pressure treated 4” x 4” I had stored out behind the Tonka garage and got the first one in. I was no help on Sunday, except for consulting. I wanted to finish out as quiet a day as I could.
The contractor will be back on Wednesday afternoon to resume the shelf project.
