We had this idea of building
a wine cellar under the stairs. I designed a simple concrete wall with cylindrical
holes cut in to house each bottle. However,
what seems simple in theory is rarely ever simple in construction. After
exploring the various methods to make holes in concrete my builder constructed
a sample wall using plastic pipes as place holders. The pipes needed to be well
oiled using the correct releasing agent, or otherwise they broke the edges of
the concrete when taken out.

required end result.

work to ensure the correct position of each cylindrical opening.

receive concrete infill.
Now, we need to wait and
see. I will post an update as soon as the shutter boards are removed. I hope
you are as curious as I am…
