We look forward to some photos when you get it up and running. Be sure to post pics when it's empty so we can get a good look at the upgrades!!!

Igloo makes replacement latches with metal hinges. I plan to replace with these the next time the crap out. http://amzn.to/Uxv2h3

Nice! (ordering)

I wiped down the inside with rubbing alcohol and then distilled water. The boxes are empty and being used to get the cedar smell going. Beads should be here today, then I will have to wait a couple of paychecks to get the shelves/drawers.

Aren't you going to at least ask some questions like:

• Does sea salt work as good as kosher?
• Should it look like a Slurpie or a Slushee?
• Should I wait for the numbers to stop changing or would an hour be enough?

You're making this too easy!

  I used bath salts. Just as good and they smell of lavender.

  Frappaccino

  Then how the hell am I going to get my lottery numbers???

Moving sucks...so very very bad. Best of luck. At least you picked a place with great scenery.
