+1 and I like that with my conversion the faucets are up at a natural height, not way down low in the big door to keep from the freezer door from hitting the handles.

...or coming out of the side.I think I will make a decorative wood plank to put on the outside to make it look cool where the taps come out.If I can find a stainless one on craigslist I might do that, otherwise I'm gonna get a new one from sears.

And since she is nice enough to let me have a kegerator in the house, I gotta make sure I don't redneck it up.

Well the search is over. The GF put a kibosh on a full size fridge. She wants me to build a wet bar! I don't have time to do that right now though. The FFIL went to a restaurant auction yesterday and got me an under the counter True commercial fridge - brand new - for $85. It's 4 foot long and should hold at least 4 kegs. So it looks like I'm gonna have to build a cabinet for it and make a kegerator. Oh darn! :frank:Cheers,Rich

that Alt wasn't the only good score you got !

No kidding right? I think I could work on something around the house beer related or not every night and weekend for the next 6 months and still not finish all the projects I need to do. This one will take precedence though.Cheers,Rich

having a nice kegerator will make the other projects go smoother (or not happen at all)

One of the projects is a brew shed. I think the GF would chop off my manhood if I started that one without there being a ring on her finger though.OH! So I put my bottle collection (750mL bottles) on top of the kitchen cabinets. The GF was not amused. i told her I would make something to hold them, but we needed to get rid of the moving boxes. So they stayed there. Fast forward to last night, I took out my stein collection and put it on top of the armiore. She face palmed and started muttering something about living in a frat house. I love tormenting her. Her friend did say the steins looked cool the way I put them up there.Cheers,Rich

So I saw the kegerator tonight. It's cherry. It's built to go under a counter, so it looks like I'm gonna have to build a mini bar. This is gonna be sweet.Cheers,Rich
