I was just balancing a wet garage floor. Thought maybe the concrete had some cracks, or water was seeping in, the normal old-house maladies. Little did I know, beneath these wooden boards lay a hidden root cellar. Then I saw a handful of wooden boards in the corner of the van — old, warped, soft. Finding a hidden root cellar was unexpected yet fascinating.
They were so incongruent with the rest of the garage floor. Appeared here as if someone was hiding something. So I pulled them up, hoping to uncover a hidden treasure or maybe another hidden root cellar.
GAMES Under the Boards: Steel and a Surprise
Underneath the wood was a solid chunk of corroded steel. Heavy. Covered in grime. I managed to get it up after some wrestling and some profanity. And there it was: a pit. Five by five feet, about six feet deep, possibly a hidden root cellar.
