The slide will turn into an avalanche shortly - Page 2

Mike, I decided on the cooler route after a lot of deliberation. The vino would look nicer, but we really don't have a place for it. The cooler I can put in my closet, we're getting ready to redo them and it should have a nice built in home when I'm done.

MrClean · 02-21-2012, 04:05 PM

Since the weather is not cooperating, I decided to wash the cooler out in the shower downstairs. It barely fits in the standard shower insert.

Temporary resting place until my closet gets redone and I can build an insert for it. I know, I know, it's empty, no sticks in there yet just empties and beads while the hygrometer is calibrating.

Thanks for the update Jeff

That's a big sumbeotch

Looking good. I'm sure it will be filled up soon.

MrClean · 02-25-2012, 09:58 PM

Okay, so it doesn't look much different than the last pic. But I have most of my cigars in there, still need to get a couple of empty boxes from the B&M next time I'm out there.
Going to call a lumber supplier in the next week or so to see what spanish cedar runs. It would probably be cheaper to just buy shelves from someone here, but I enjoy making things like that.

I was amazed at how much faster the cooler recovers from having the door open for an extended amount of time. The RH was back to 65% in no time at all.

Looking good Jeff. I would probably just buy the shelves and maybe a drawer from someone on here since the prices seem very reasonable.

Hem · 02-26-2012, 12:46 AM

Looking good!

MrClean · 03-16-2012, 04:13 PM

So, you'll probably wonder why I'm showing you pics of my old closet, it was an non functional POS basically.
Have a look for yourself.

I show you that, so I can show you this. But who really cares about a mans closet? The last picture should clear things up for you.

wimp

and this was before I filled it up. 2 boxes deep on each shelf and the singles drawer has about 500 in it now.

Let me know when the avalanche arrives.

MrClean · 03-16-2012, 04:18 PM

Not sure why the color looks so orange. It's actually called Brick Red, and is just that.
Time to get this laptop screen calibrated.
So I won't have any flooring down until we get new carpet in our room. But I'm very pleased with how it all turned out. Now, to see if I can cram all the crap that was in there, back in and keep it looking somewhat organized.

the wife will keep me from getting to that point for quite some time. But that is a beautiful cabinet!

MrClean · 06-20-2013, 10:21 PM

So I was looking through this old thread that I started last April when I got my Marine cooler. Oh, how the times have changed.

The bottom 4 boxes on the right are all various singles. The rest are full boxes.

You people are a bad influence, I hate you all.

MrClean · 10-22-2013, 10:00 PM

New shelves and drawers from Forrest. They really fit perfectly in the cooler.

Not sure about the finally configuration of everything, but started the seasoning process.

It took 29, gallon zip-loc bags to pack up all this

milhouse · 10-24-2013, 10:53 AM

looks good, did you think about raising the cooler so you have easier access to it?

I did, but with the arrangement in my closet, decided to only use a minimal base for stability. The drawers will likely go close to the top for easy access, any boxes will be below and hopefully I'll keep my hands out of them.

Veatorious · 10-24-2013, 11:58 PM

Simply awesome.

MrClean · 11-03-2013, 11:52 AM

After 10 days at 80% humidity, the shelves and drawers were ready. I was surprised, after seasoning, just touching the shelves, I could feel the difference in them. The dryness was gone and the smell, that much Spanish cedar....it's a truly awesome aroma!
Not sure I'll keep this configuration, but the drawers are pretty well full.

big_jaygee · 11-03-2013, 12:25 PM

looks good Jeff

DirtRider500R · 11-17-2013, 07:10 PM

So, when are you buying the second cooler?
