Comments on: We’re running out of space http://www.keyscorner.com/archives/2006/03/25/were-running-out-of-space/ a somewhat unstructured collection of news, facts and opinions Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:19:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: John http://www.keyscorner.com/archives/2006/03/25/were-running-out-of-space/#comment-4126 John Sun, 26 Mar 2006 10:04:44 +0000 http://www.keyscorner.com/?p=444#comment-4126 We couldn't manage without a cellar, having lived here for nearly 26 years. Actually the construction wasn't too bad - there was a good set of instructions with photographs and even the correct sized spanners and allen-keys were included (just like IKEA!). We haven't been able to test it yet, as the instructions don't include the final details about how to use the various velcro strips and a length a hessian cloth that we still haven't "assembled". There is a VHS video included which is supposed to contain lots more information, but we don't have a VHS-machine to play it on, having moved to DVD and hard-disks for video recording and having foolishly thrown out our VHS video recorder and tapes as being obsolete (we also don't have any LPs or cassettes, or any means of playing them, for the same reason!). So on Monday I am planning to go into town and get the video-tape transferred to DVD, so we can see how to actually use the beast.

A (good) cellar is one reason why German houses cost so much. Our cellar looks to be in a worse state than yours with deep-freeze, saddle, bales of hay & straw for the guinea-pigs and various accessories for aircraft. Its rumoured that there are some bottles of red wine hidden there...... BTW that constructions looks worse than with IKEA. The famous phrase that strikes fear into the heart of all buyers: "some assembly required".......... and most people in Britain dont have a cellar unless its in an old Victorian house & then its dank & smelling of drains…
