Well, I tried to coin the term "kidgerator" by dividing my main fridge with a vertical wall with custom shelves on one side and a keg/tank on the other. The fridge is on-loan, so I couldn't start drilling holes through the door. I planned to put a hinged panel in front, to make it look sexy ("hide" the keg/co2) and mainly to give me something to which I could mount the faucets, all inside our normal fridge....but managed to talk the wife into giving-up our little deep-freeze instead. Let us begin....
It's a bit small for my needs (probably only 2 kegs, with the vague possibility of 3, but I'm going to make it work, anyway. When I get back to the States in a year or two, I'll build my "dream keezer" The reason this is called the "pleaser keezer" is because even though I only consider it a temporary stop-gap for my beer-serving needs, my Chief of Staff (the wife) gave authorization "only if it doesn't look like a freezer in my living room." The COS also gave me a limited budget ($100-200) so we'll see what we can do...
I started out by removing all of the food and cramming it by force into the top of the fridge (You'll notice it has not yet defrosted, but it IS unplugged! I didn't want to waste any time once I had authorization from the COS.
Then, I stripped down the lid and removed the lock/handle, so it will be MUCH easier to build overtop. The rubber seal had 4 screws, but they also used those annoying plastic "thumb tacks" that press in and get stuck... had to cut around them a bit with a razorblade and some luck. You'll notice the big piece of insulation leaning against the left side.
