Two drill holes and a few minutes with the jig saw was all it took to create the new chimney hole for the refrigerator root cellar.

Thank you for your blog. It really inspirest me. We are in the process of buying 40 acres. When we went to look at it I saw 15 wild turkeys and three deer crossed our paths. Been doing a lot of reading about homsteading and I am so excited to live in the country and have room to grow. I've learned a lot by reading you blog and always look forward to the next instalment.
