Hello friends,
I decided to build myself a cold room in my home basement. The goal was to store garden vegetables, canning and canned beverages. Of course, one of my wishes was to be able to walk in the cold to access the shelves (Walk-in Cold Room).

Now its fall.. its time to load my bins... :)

I think my project can help someone here or give ides

Here: My Cold storage room

Looks a lovely idea but you are lucky to have a basement. I'm afraid that here in the UK few properties are built with a such a facility ( which is perhaps just as well because in households like ours, it would just probably end up as another reaso for enabling us to accumulate even more junk that we would be too Indisciplined to clear out regularly

A nice dark basement would be good for growing mushrooms perhaps but possibly they need a higher growing temperature than you have in your cold room.

The coldest space I can arrange is the garage (unless I count the allotment shed but that is also very damp)
Sadly, it won't be below ambient temperature.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

we used to have a cellar in the house I grew up in, it was always damp, and actually it was dead scary too, as my mum convinced us all that we were haunted and I suspected the wee ghostie lived in the cellar :?
