You mean the humdifier? [You wouldn't want to de-humidify your cellar, for fear of what it would do to the corks - unless maybe you're 100% screw cap.]
I guess I don't understand what you're doing here: If there isn't any electrical equipment, i.e. if there isn't any artificial cooling, i.e. if it's a 100% passive cellar, then there aren't any special construction techniques needed - it's just another place where cases of stuff are stored.

I'm interested: Does framing and sheet-rocking those interior concrete walls affect the thermal mass in any, shape or form? It's encouraging to see just how constant your cellar has remained.

The heat sink properties of the concrete walls... Hadn't been thinking about that. Judging by some of the comments on this thread, other people didn't worry much about it either. Anyone think that it's a concern?

I had missed the previous thread because off being so busy moving into the house finally (I really want to get back to spending more time on here, believe me) but I also wanted a thread that kept away from detailed conversation on coolers and ACs etc. I just want to deal with making the most of the natural thermal mass and insulate the framed walls to the best of shared knowledge. I'd be surprised and upset if it doesn't work out. Tony
