RE: Turning a fridge into a Walk-in Cooler - Status Update 2
That must have been one of those projects where you measured twice, cut once so that the tension was just right! Very clever and really interesting. One day maybe I will be a homesteader, but I do what I can here at my apartment with my vermicomposting. Was not able to plant in my portable greenhouse on my stoop. The weather has been too crazy this year.
I do a shit ton of thinking out my projects. I am naturally an introvert so I spend a lot of time in my own head anyway, and when I get going on a project I spend a fair amount of time standing in a veritable daydream as I envision what I will be doing next. Luckily the wall planks did not need a single cut as they are all 73" tall and needed a 1 1/2" shim board under them to raise them to the correct level. A lot of things with this build have fallen into place with relative ease. Many of the supplies I have had on hand for other projects that have never been done.
This is one of the few builds I have done that could be accomplished in an apartment. A person could build a box of 4 sides in the fashion I have for the cooler box. Only the box will be 3 sides and a roof. The sides can all attach individually or be hinged to fold up into a flat-pack. This can then get setup in front of a fridge and be a "cool out room" in the vain of a "bug out room". When the heat gets to be just too damned much, you can set this up and bask in the cool of your fridge.
