Time to upgrade storage

[bluenoser]

@bluenoser , I went the fridgedor route. Got a 1.8 cu ft mini fridge for free (it didn't freeze), and gutted the mechanicals, wood lined it, and put a humi care electronic humidifier in it. I am, however, now looking for a 4-6 cu ft mini....

How many stick would you say this holds? I see a few 12 bottle fridges for around $100 new that are about 1.5 cu ft. just not sure what I'll be able to fit in one

Bear in mind this was a learning project. Clear coat sucks on it, and I lost a band, but not bad for a first. As you can see, I'm clearly out of room, and I am currently hunting somebody's junky 4-6 cu ft fridge. This one didn't freeze, so it was FREE. All in, paint and Humi Care EH Plus (can handle 8 cu ft), this was $120.

Nice, Trent! Looks good and full.

Nice looking setup. Think I'll probably go with the cooler unless I can grab a wine fridge on the cheap. Wouldn't hurt to set up both I suppose. Once I start box purchases I imagine I'll fill either pretty quick as my coolers not a huge one.

[bluenoser]

Also I see some discussion on other sites between thermoelectric and compressor style fridges. does the compressor style affect rh as much as I've read? am I right to assume most "cheap" fridges will be compressor style?

[Usafvet509]

Very carefully and precariously stacked like mine? Estimate 250-300, depending on how stacked.

found a really good deal on a nice 24 bottle dual zoned thermoelectric scratch and dent online but the company doesn't show shipping to canada. I hate it when that happens. Emailed them to see if there's any chance they'll do it but not gonna hold my breath...

[Usafvet509]

Wish I could help you with that question, @bluenoser . I gutted all the mechanicals from this one, and sealed the holes. Makes it light as hell

[bluenoser]

Yea I'm doubting they will, just did a couple price quotes on shipping and it's more than the cooler itself. Might be on the lookout for a little fridge like yours if I can't track down a cheap wine cooler. thanks

openboxdirect.com has some nice prices on wine fridges for any of you south of me looking for a cheap scratch and dent. With a discount code (welcome5) this 24 bottle dual zone is $113 shipped
