I put the universal in the chest freezer overnight and warmed up the yokes before installation . Made it super easy to install

I got the rear tire installed let me tell you it ain’t easy lifting it up and getting the driveshaft to line up all by yourself. It’s all one unit going in differential rim tire driveshaft . I got it in and had to take it out again as I couldn’t get the brake caliper in .
You paid in sweat equity today, I bet. It sure felt hot down here today.

I designed/engineered it to be able to hold the 8 cans across that will fit. All the trim, not just the shelves, is screwed on. Her water is heated by the oil furnace, so the stone cellar is anything but damp. I don't expect the wood to bow.

here it is 100% done now. The linoleum is a remnant from when her grandmother lived there. That was the kitchen floor and it was on the shelf at the bottom of the stairs. I had to remove it, so I made a wall panel with it to see it better. She was happy with that
