Customized Edgestar Coolidor

[mravery]

Hello all,

Being in Central Fla, keeping the temp down is an issue so I figured one of the wine coolers would do the trick. I'm a traditional sort of guy and the looks of the metal cooler didn't do it for me so I found the Edgestar wooden cooler. Figured that a 'scratch and dent' would be ok I picked up one on Ebay for $199 including shipping. Well, upon arrival it wasn't 'scratch and dented', it was more like 'run over by a truck, put in reverse and run over again'. Damage on all sides and feet. Good news was that it still cooled great, no cracks in the glass and maintained its temp and RH with 1 lb of Heartfelt 65% beads. After negotiating a discounted price with the seller for $125 I took a trip to the local Lowes store. The following pics are the unit before, during and after its transformation.
