Cheese Cave Installation Part 4: Cutting in the Door!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Boy that concrete saw looks like a fun job. Bet you’re glad that’s done!

[@vnthomas16]

Yes I am!

[@audreyshelton9301]

Oh to be young again. Congrats !

[@bucsr.6106]

Spud the inspector was hard at work! 😸This was quite the project! It looks great.

[@vnthomas16]

Spud is always at the top of his game!

Good to see the progress on your cave. I’m also building a cave (Manson wa ) and a suggestion I have is that you build a cover, like a porch/patio on your front door so you don’t have a 6 ft of snow sitting in front of your door in the winter

[@vnthomas16]

We plan to build a roof over the opening. It’s been in the plans, but we didn’t want to build it until after the door was cut as there was already a limited amount of space to maneuver the saw, and I didn’t want to add that extra degree of difficulty yet! Haha! Good luck on your build!

Great job on the door. Looking forward to seeing cheese in there.

[@vnthomas16]

Us too!

[@joehairston4159]

Congratulations! I admire your hard work 👍

[@vnthomas16]

Thank you!

[@johnmammes1640]

Your an animal with the cut off saw ! Hope to drop by from the Peugeot sound at some point.

[@richardcompton2555]

Love the cave. Great work.

[@vnthomas16]

Thanks!

[@mennoreuten1563]

I always hated that job whit that machine but hé the results is what counts, greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@vnthomas16]

Yes! Not fun to operate, but it does what it’s supposed to do! Thanks for watching!

[@janetdupree6353]

🧀 I love the way you two tackle a project. It is obvious to me a lot of research and thinking have gone into the learning and planning of the cheese cave. I am looking forward to observing more as the journey continues. Great channel 💕

[@vnthomas16]

Thanks! We appreciate your support! Stay tuned! More to come…

[@ronharrison1776]

You seem to be very handy around the farm . I guess that is very good , too. Nice job .

[@vnthomas16]

Part of being a farmer I suppose. A lot of trial and error!

[@karencary3312]

Looks real good.

[@vnthomas16]

Thanks!

[@alonalanski7119]

The hard part is done. Now the fun begins!

[@vnthomas16]

Soon we’ll have another installment on building a door! Stay tuned!

[@ajlewis9454]

Looking good can't wait to see more 👍😁

[@vnthomas16]

Stay tuned! More to come!

[@doncc6080]

great work on a very messy job. finishing should be on the downhill for this project.

[@vnthomas16]

Let’s hope so!

[@rosehorton6404]

The cave really coming along! That saw looked like a real workout. Fun to see what use you find for the concrete squares you now have. Have a good one😁

[@vnthomas16]

I think the bottom square is going to stay at the bottom of the stairs as a landing! Haha! Thanks for watching!

[@cedricgates9976]

that looks like a lot of hard work congrats still a lot to go i think

[@vnthomas16]

Thanks! The project is going well we think!

That is pretty cool. Cutting that concrete is so loud. We had 2 windows in the basement enlarged. Had to go to Green bluff while the men made noise! Lol. How are the baby jerseys?

[@vnthomas16]

The babies aren’t so much babies anymore, but more like rowdy teenagers! Haha!

[@newhampshire-bob1604]

Well done! The door should be easy compared to everything else! I am curious as to why you didn't put a foundation sealer on the outer concrete, do you think the humidity level will be low?

[@vnthomas16]

Didn’t really think of using a sealer as it was a water tank already I suppose. We will be whitewashing the inside, and we do need a fairly humid environment for aging cheese. Building a door should be easy! But you never know what will happen! Haha! Getting the door in is the priority for this week! Thanks for watching!

[@richwhitaker1506]

Excellent job,cutting in a relatively confined space. Will there be any sort of windbreak or cover to keep the entrance clear? Looks like you've got good grass coverage on the mound. Take care guys

[@vnthomas16]

Yes, there will be a small roof over the door opening. We haven’t built it yet as the space was already confined enough to maneuver the saw in, and I just didn’t want that added degree of difficulty! Haha!

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

I hope you can find a use for those two slabs?

[@vnthomas16]

Definitely!

[@Fulltimer]

What temperature is a cheese cave?

[@vnthomas16]

We’re aiming for around 55° during the time we’re aging cheeses.
