Appears to have hatched a few boxes from that forbidden island way over yonder. Those look good. And they will be well protected. Always nice to see another wine-cooler conversion.

HD, do you have a temp controller on it?

that is the one.

at $158.00 you cant even buy a good humidor for that kind of money.

i did change the thermostst, with the factory one it was cycling between 59 and 64.

with the new thermostat it hold steady at 68.

besides wood shelves, the only other thing i am going to do is take out the little light and replace it with a small fan for air circulation.

without packing the boxes tight i think it should hold about 25 boxes.

just a FYI for you guys living around a college.

When semester is over or the kids graduate, you wont believe the deals you can pick up for pennies on the dollar, when they move out

This is true. One of my side buisnesses, is a refrigerator and dorm furniture sales and storage. I can pick these coolers, though used, for between $15 and $20, at the end of the semester. Store them in my shed, and sell them to the incoming students the next semester, for $50-$80. I also buy couches, $10-$20, that I sell for $50-$80. It's a great little racket. LOL

Nice settup HDking. I'd like to make it down to Texas to see it up close.

Later
