    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.

            Deepwoodsbutcher There’s always a workaround to make others scowl at your ingenuity.
