Re: Commercial refrigerator/drink cooler conversion to a curing chamber

Thanks for asking. I picked up the unit a couple of weeks ago, but it's still in my garage. The thing is 7 feet high! It came from a juice bar at a gym and is clean and keeps cold. The guy I bought it from said it was about 5 years old, but after I ran the serial number it was shipped from the factory in July, 2013. I've had no time to modify it as yet, just running things through my head. Eric's video about his fan modification was helpful and I will possibly proceed with removing the existing fan and replacing it with a smaller one. My main quandary is whether to install intake and exhaust fans to facilitate air exchange. I'm not always around to open and close the fridge and I've always drilled large holes for this in all my previous setups.
However, at the moment I'm busy with other household projects so I won't get to this until the fall. I also want to reorganize my lower level workroom and apply an epoxy coating on the floor. Since I also make wine down there the floor is badly stained and the existing paint is peeling. It looks terrible.
