And you're worried what the CO2 tank is going to look like sitting in the living room? :)

Deform the lid? It's pretty sturdy. Besides, it's not like I cranked the bolts down to 1,872 ft lbs. Just make it good and snug and it won't go anywhere. There's a few pics of the top in posts #10, #11 & #15... do you want something specific? I unscrewed the hinges from the freezer...

No Label Brewing out of Katy (Houston), TX - I really like their Ridgeback Ale Franconia Brewing out of McKinney (Dallas) - Try the Lager & Wheat, or Dunkel if you like darker beers.

Yep, mine has the rounded top. I just used 3/4" plywood on top, 1/4" inside the lid and and when I bolted it down it basically self leveled. I thought I may need to shim it or something, but there's no play in it at all. I thought about building a top and skipping the original, but it went...

That lid gets heavy really quick. I'm a lot like you with not much experience but bolting the top to the lid went waaaaaaaaay easier than I ever thought it would on mine. Since yours is already liquid nailed down, just use a forstner bit to countersink holes somewhere near the corners, drill...

double post

And for those of you with a keen eye, yes... the outside spindles are spaced about 3/32 farther out than the rest. Just one more thing I'd have done different. I should have just split the difference in the middle two. After the taps go on and stuff gets put up there, you'll never see it...

Couple more setbacks.... Went to HD today to get the rest of the stuff to finish this thing and sometime between March and now, they decided to stop selling the oak project panels in store. Came home to order them and they want like $40 shipping for two 24x48 and one 48x48. No thanks...

Thanks! I'm still waiting on the darn 3rd tap to come... supposed to be here by Tuesday now. I need that in order to glue down and tape off the foam board inside the tower. I'm putting a rail on the top of the tower this weekend (maybe tonight) so glasses and liquor bottles can't fall off...

Have access to a heat gun? Could try to loosen up whatever adhesive that was used after you get the tower off. If not, you can strip/sand down the existing top and refinish it or cut it back as far as you can and just put a new hardwood top on and trim it out to hide the old one.

A little slow going since April is busy time at work and then I've had relatives in and out for most of May so far. Back on it though.

Seconded :mug:

Never noticed that before... Just looked at the exact one I have and a few others on Amazon that have decent pics and they're all the same. You should be fine.

I don't think there's anything wrong with kennelling/crating in the least. The dog I grew up with slept in hers for about the first 10 years and didn't mind it at all. After she got older, my parents started letting her stay out of it at night. I tried to kennel this one at first and it...

After coming across the "Dogs" thread tonight, I figured this somewhat the same but separate topic. I recently read a few articles online about dogs and what their owners let them do and don't do. I was kind of surprised at the results as more than 50% of the people surveyed let their dogs...
