Aaah, the shed envy ! I was rather just thinking of somewhere you could keep root crops frost free but handy to access even in bad weather, and with the right amount of damp...of course you could use it for wine instead.

Keep your mind on the job VC! Don't be getting side tracked with parsnips n' all.
On the subject of the sink and the dishwasher, unless the plumbing under the sink is different in Wales then there wouldn't be room for anything except a cupboard with pipes runniing thru it.
I know a couple of people who have their sink and cupboard in the middle of the room. Leaves a lot of space on the walls for other things. Of course, then you've got to get the plumber to sort the in taps and the out drains.Ali

But these aren't any old parsnips, these are Snohare's parsnips. Once read about, never forgotten http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...-ps_62173.html

I had forgotten all about that !
As it turned out, both carrots and parsnips did quite well under my sideboard, although some of both went mouldy if left there too long. (Weeks.)
I must buy fresh sand for this winter, but I must say I am shocked that I was heating for a profligate three hours a day. Except on windy days, I can't keep the heating on for two nowadays - I get too warm, even fleeceless. This is probably why I am so slender...I have learned to burn calories instead of carbon.
And getting back to the original topic, a small hatch and a hole two feet square, would do you nicely I reckon. Yes, we all have fridges, freezers, cars etc - but times are changing; storms, floods, the economy etc - best to keep other, more low-tech options open.There's no point reading history if you don't use the lessons it teaches.

I don't think a fridge will do well enough at keeping the moisture level correct - it will be hermetically sealed - but full marks for having a Plan B, I'll let you off...There's no point reading history if you don't use the lessons it teaches.

An itsy bitsy plumbing question please Is there any problem with having a draining board set in a work surface with a washing machine underneath? I'm struggling trying to squash everything in to a 2.6m run. Need to fit in the boiler 55cms, washing machine, 60 cms and freezer 60cms leaving 85cms for a sink. I have a double bowl ceramic sink that came out of the old utility and fits into an 80cm cabinet, so thats an option but its a bit battered and needs a new cabinet. Any other options?
Don't forget you may need to have 'air gaps' between the boiler and your other units. The size of them will be in the manufacturer's instructions.

I'd already worked out that the sand would fall through the drawer mesh...........There's no point reading history if you don't use the lessons it teaches.
