==============================
TOTAL $585


Basically did this job as cheap as possible with as much material
that I've pack ratted over the years. In doing so, I planned on
having a 2 tap keg system with 2 kegs conditioning. As a newbie,
I figured I'd use what I had and in the future I would build a
new collar so I could accomadate 6 kegs.

Also went with the tower idea, as I have young kids and didn't want
to come downstairs to see a keg wasted because of curiousity.
Which is why I mounted the stc-1000 on the side of the tower.

Caster frame wood (2x4's), collar wood(3/4x6"), wood filler,
melamine - melamine edge strip(counter & tower),nails, screws,
marrets, caplugs, wires, plug cords, permanent marker (hides my
imperfections on the malamine), glue, caulking,paint, pc fan and
tower brackets are all materials I had from previous projects a
nd home renovation (still ongoing).

Because drip trays are so expensive, I decided to use a old
register vent and modify it. Will replace it later when I can afford it.

Limited tools involved circular caw, jigsaw, cordless drill,
hammer, nail punch, caulking gun, drill bits, door hole bits,
multi-screwdiver, olfa knife, wire cutters and sanding block.

Oh if I had a table saw and router and a garage to do projects.
Would of give me the opportuninty to do what I wanted but this
actuallly turned out not to shabby. We do plann on building a garage
one of theese days to our house. And unfortunately my supercrew truck
won't fit into my side of said plan. I wonder what I could do with
my side of that space?


Being anxious to test it out, I mounted a pinic tap on one hole on the
tower using caulking and caplug. Used another caplug for future tap.
I came so close to ordering chrome plated perlicks but I want stainless
steel. Just need to save the money, and I thought I'd experiment with a
picnic tap mounted on the outside.
