As I patiently awaited an order of oetiker clamps to arrive tomorrow, the final part needed to complete my setup and start enjoying the fruits of my labor, I decided to put some finishing touches on things. The keezer sets directly under my bar. I had put a digital temp control on it mounted to the side so it wouldn't get bumped into. It had been bugging me that I couldn't see the temp without rolling it out, so I fabbed a little L bracket from some thin steel to face it forward. I mounted the temp control to it, then mounted it to the side with some 1/2" self tappers. First screw in, second screw in, it's mounted. Perfect. Then some idiot that hides deep down inside me says "maybe you should add one more screw", so I do, and hissssss, I hit a damn refrigerant line! SWMBO must have seen the rage beginning to build because she chose to leave at that point, and not just the room, the house.
So, that's my bonehead move of the day. Being hvac certified I should be able to fix it, once I figure out how to braze steel line that is. I've only dealt with copper and brass and 5% silvalloy didn't work.
