I received a grant from KSU in 2024 to build a Coolbot for cold storage. This is for storing my orchard fruit, berries and flowers after harvesting. I originally had planned to build it in the barn that had burned so figuring out an alternative location was really tough and took a lot of planning and reorganizing to find a suitable space. The room was supposed to be 8'x8' but I didn't have a space to accomodate that size so I had to give up one foot on the width.
I was several months behind the deadline to have the build complete and this anxiety caused sleepless nights. So once the space was prepped, I sent out a text to a few people who had offered to help me re-build the barn after the fire. I had shared complete instructions from YouTube and everyone came ready to rock. It took a day and a half with this expert crew- I just need to paint and hang the door.
SOOO relieved to be able to report to KSU that I got this done!!
A huge shout-out to my family and friends for helping me get past this pain point.
