Refrigerator root cellar setback
The refrigerator
root cellar suffered a set back last night during a heavy down pour.

to add a small roof like the one on our home
made firewood shed to prevent this from happening again.

We were careful to put it in a spot with good drainage, so it clearly wasn't standing water. I think it was the unconsolidated fill dirt behind the fridge filling with water and pushing it forward, a lot like a mudslide. Drat!
