Good thread. I was thinking about making a similar room out in the chicken shack to serve as a root cellar. We have a high water table here and flat land as well. No opportunity to dig into a hillside for a root cellar. So the thought was to build something very similar to what you have. For a root cellar though, we'd only need to keep it around 50 degrees F.
Here in Ohio we have tornado's from time to time that destroy refer trailers.
I know some salvage guys who go out and buy the refrigeration units off the totaled trailer and take them home and check them out to make sure they are still working correctly.
Their big market for them are the Amish. They build walk in's using these
similarly. They just won't use electric. Their walk in may be larger but they likely have several families using it.
