Sorry I have been away a little. No I didn't have a problem with the mini-fridge it actually just fit in. It was an old Zaxxon cabinet I bought off craigslist for like $60 that had some wood damage. I had to saw out the front wood and make a door that swung open but other then that it fit in...

Thank you for the kind words. And FYI Turtles in Time is definitely on there, as well as AVP and quite a few others.

I have seen a great deal of amazing projects that were done here, and I thought I would add my attempt at a DIY project. Please keep in mind that this is still in progress, I still have some things I need to do and this is by no means completed. This forum came in extremely handy with some...
