Madreefers New Build/Upgrade

[Proteus]

Looks great. And good idea utilizing the stand for a "beer" fridge

What a journey!! Great set up. I'm jealous your sump is in the basement, would love to move mine.... Gotta ask how you skinned the stand?? I really like it, clean lines, I'm skipping the wine fridge tho.....don't like wine.

[Madreefer]

Haha yea I don't like wine either, well the next day. It's for my wife. My beer fridge is in the garage. Stand was built by a cabinet company. There is no holes at all drilled in to the stand. The panels all screw to each other and than corner peices are placed over the screws. The top is a 3/4 piece of plywood. It's wider than my door so I had to assemble it in my house. It's pretty heavy. The steel stand is 188lbs and the wood is maple so I'm not sure what that weighs.

Well, I like it! It's very well done! Wish I'd thought of doing mine before placing the tank on top but I'm not a very patient person and wanted to get it going...

I agree
A wine cooler for the wife is always a very smart addition
