With the recent heat waves we've been having it's nice to visit the cellar for a few minutes of cooling down. Of course I can't stay too long because of the radon.

    Go diy a radon remover, 3in PVC and a centrifugal fan. Just get it as low as you can to the floor. No reason to get a real system unless you are gonna live there. Any abatement helps.

    Edit: If its a dirt floor then it might not help.

    I was slightly exaggerating for comic effect. I do have an extractor fan on a timer which stops build ups. It's definitely not rated for human habitation but the servers are quite happy there 😉

    My grandparents used to have an air raid shelter in their garden, you could use it to freeze water in the height of summer.

    Although I wouldn't recommend storing food down there because it was always damp, and full of spiders. I don't particularly mind spiders but I don't want to accidentally eat them.
