Well I started working on it Friday. I'm sick of bottling, and I got the fridge for free, so I figured I'd go for it. I ordered a lot of the stuff from micro matic and bought the rest at my LHBS. The fridge is going in the basement and I'm going to run the lines up the laundry chute and mount my taps in the kichen (I love being a single guy with my own house lol).
Here's the fridge with the hole drilled in the side. I had to peel it back a little after i realized that 2 inch PVC means the inner diameter is 2 inches. DUH! No way I could use a bigger hole saw on the metal after the first hole was drilled. This works for me though, since it will be covered up.
Here's my homemade trunk cable with copper cooling lines. The kind you can buy online is way too expensive, so I figured I'd make my own. I got insulation from Lowe's that is meant for copper pipe. I put my three hoses and the copper line inside the insulation, and put that all in he 2 inch PVC.
Here's the 2 inch PVC running up through the laundry chute, into the kitchen.
And last for now, the PVC all put together into the fridge. I sealed the hole with some duct-seal. I did the same thing on the inside as well. Should keep it pretty well insulated.
