    Thank you. We built beam pockets into the wall and found these heavy duty pipes to use as railing. It works well.

      zbigjeff thanks. It is above and beyond what I had hoped for. My husband definitely has the mindset that if your going to do it, do it right. I’m really happy with the results.

      Deepwoodsbutcher When it’s 99% done, I would be standing there smiling widely. I know you will also.

        A little bit of progress on the shop today. Hit a few snags recently, but we are back on track. I have a beef scheduled for next weekend so we are trying to wrap up the cooler. I think it looks pretty good so far.

            Deepwoodsbutcher I really want to build a cooler. Seeing yours makes me want one even more. Thanks for sharing your venture. Can’t wait to see it with a beef in there.

            Here’s one I did before the panels were in

            Deepwoodsbutcher I am impressed. You are able to get enough cooling & freezing with just the window A/C? I need to learn more about all that.

              calldoctoday it does not freeze, but will easily keep my cooler around 36*f. There’s a lot of videos and information on the how the coolbot works. It basically acts as a thermostat that overrides the one in the a/c. It also has a defroster to keep it from icing up. These things are great as long as you don’t cheap out on the insulation.

                Deepwoodsbutcher Thank you, I really appreciate that. I have been thinking of building a processing house for years & that might help, although I would like a freezer section too perhaps. I would probably consider a typical exterior finish to stay in context with the house, lots of air circulation, plenty of Styrofoam type insulation, probably epoxy painted concrete slab on grade for the floor, & RFPs (Marlite) for the wall & ceiling finishes. Then though I wonder if after all that, I would just be better trying to find a good used walk in that someone is moving out. I have heard there are good deals to be found out there if you are patient & ready. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

                  calldoctoday yeah, you can find pretty good deals on walk-in coolers. Because of our township, we can’t have another out building because we have a garage. So we built custom on the trailer. It was a work around. We would have probably have put up a prefab cooler inside the garage, but the in-laws had it full of their stuff.
