Whew, a long day of digging! As you can see, our dog Daisy was a big help! We took out 25 cm of dirt and concrete on the floor of our "cuverie" preparing to pour a concrete floor. It took us a couple of days of sledge hammering, pick axing and mostly a lot of digging to get it all out. Next we'll place the drains and dig a trench for the drain pipe, next weekend we're hoping to do the floor. In the back ground you see two old concrete fermentation vats which will be renovated for use this fall, they were already here when we bought the house. The date on the front of them says 1929, who knew we'd be using them again in 2005! Four more concrete fermentation vats will be coming to fill this tiny space up! There will be a T shaped aisle down the center that will be 1,5 meters wide. Just enough space for the harvest and vinification equipment to pass! It's going to be tight, but I think we'll make it!
