This is going to be a very basic keezer. My manual skills are pretty piss-poor. But, I'll document it here so you can see and maybe give advice. It'll take a while for this project, but it should look acceptable when I'm done.
Here are the stats:
Igloo 7.1 cu ft FRF795, Black
Energy Star, $24 yearly cost, 198 kWh est yearly electricity use
Outer dimensions (LxDxH): 36.75 x 20.25 x 33
Inner dimensions 31.5 x 15 x 27.27
Inner Base 23 x 15 x 33
Platform 8.5 x 15 x 18.5
The first problem I have are the short hinges. They are only about 2.5" apart and there is no room for vertical adjustment. Maybe I can buy another set of hinges?
I'm going to use 2x6 pine boards to raise the lid. They will fit nicely. I plan on having 4 taps in this thing (I can get 3 corneys on the base and a 4th on the platform, if I raise the lid 6 inches). And, cut out a spot for my thermostat.
CO2 tank will be outside.
I'll have to cut some insulation to fill in the horizontal gaps.
I'm also happy I found a black freezer, and it was on sale for $148. This will be a major project for me (not mechanically inclined).
