Gianna, It would be good to find out where the water is coming from - walls, floor, ceiling?. Also apart from the increase in rain, has anything changed outside the cellar that might have contributed? ie removal of a big tree, placing or removal of concrete paths/slabs? Alterations in the way rainwa...

You would think that the BL would be the better choice seeing as it has been $19 at the chains last week...

And did you have to install a sump and pump to discharge any water which might get in? The reason I a...

I think overall we got it in the ground ready for slab for under $9k.I expect to have a basic (empty) clim...

I've been thinking of posting on here for a while but have not actually got there until now, and as this thread is about Brisbane wine cellars I guess it prompted me. I gleaned a lot of info on cellars from this forum to aid in the planning/design of my own, which (along with my new house) is in the...
