Hey all! So seeing as the GE 7.0 cf freezers are back under $200 at HD (with free delivery!), I'm sketching out my first keezer build. After seeing some of the amazing creations on this board, I'm really in awe of what you all have come up with, and hope that mine comes out even half as good!
For all of you that have built these before -- did you leave a front overhang on yours, like a bar? I don't mean a little 2" lip overhang, I mean a 10" or 12" overhang so you can stick stools underneath and sit at it like a bar.
Most of the builds I've seen don't include this, and I was wondering why. Just space concerns? Does the weight of someone leaning on the overhang tip the unit over (I wouldn't expect it to, especially when the keezer is stocked with beer, but maybe)?
For me, the keezer will sit in my living room and will actually take the place of an existing chair, so I was thinking I'd stick a couple bar stools under the keezer so I don't lose a seat in the living room. Football games are already tight enough for my friends and I without removing a seat!
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Good idea or bad idea to build the keezer as a bar? If you have built a keezer, which way did you build it and why?
Thanks all and keep up the great work!
