Help my Frigidaire

[shaggy]

my wine comes in a box.....does this all still apply to it?

Gotcha. Much appreciate the advice.

For multiple reasons I decided to put this project on hold for the time being. This will give me more time to decide upon how to proceed as well.

An FYI on the Frigidaire $119 cooler...
It was a Lowe's screw up. They already caught it.
They're back to $229.00 now.
I was excited about your deal, and when I was at Lowe's paying my bill today I checked it out. There was a sign saying "we screwed up, you ain't getting it for $119.00", but they used lots more words.
I paid around 220 for all three of mine.

I cancelled my order this morning when I decided to put this project on hold. I wonder if they would have honored the price or not. I'm not upset either way as I don't think I would need this much storage space and really don't want to move the thing time and time again over the next few years.

Like I said, back to the drawing board for a while. I'll probably go with a fully converted 16-bottle unit for cigar storage.

I was also considering using the fridge for both wines and cigars.
I am going to just use it for cigars, though.
I told my wife I would buy her another fridge for the wine. Maybe a dual temp unit.

I am having Chuck make me some drawers (2 doubles and 3 singles.) I thought about doing it myself, but I want them to look nice
I also smoke maybe 1-2 a week and buy/try from my local B&M.
Haven't bought a box yet, so it is going to look pretty empty when my shelves come in. I'm in no rush, though. Still trying to figure out what I like best.

For what it's worth, you only need a thermoelectric if you need to cool it from your surroundings.

My basement never makes it over 70 degrees, even if all the windows in the house are open. I have a condensor based wine fridge. However, with the unit unplugged, it maintains 68 degrees. $50 for a 35 bottle fridge off craigslist, good seal, holds humidity and temp. All depends on the environment.
