I have built a root cellar out of an old school bus. Here is the build series.  So far the temperature is doing what it should but I am going to have to work on some moisture issues.

Dude that’s so cool! I can’t believe I’m the 50th person to read this feed and no love yet.

I like the way you do your YouTube videos I’m working on my own style.

Clearly you’ve put lots of time and effort into this project.

What’s the designated purpose? it says survival bunker on the YouTube but root cellar on the post? If it’s a survival bunker put a rocket mass heater in there! That will dry you right out in a hurry!

A solar powered dehumidifier might help with your humidity problem, however usually they draw lots of power. Hmm I’m going to look into a way to reduce moisture without heating. Because as of now the only 2 ways I know to reduce moisture are increase heat or dehumidifier.

Cool build though!

 
Sasparilla and fresh horses for all my men! You will see to it, won't you tiny ad?
