I first want to thank homebrewtalk for all the threads on keezer's I lurked and read alot of build threads.

I purchased the freezer off craigslist it's a big GE commercial freezer. I am going to run 4 Perlick taps to start. I painted the keezer in 4 coats of chalkboard paint. I decided on a 2x6 collar. I added a computer fan and insulated it with styrofoam and aluminum tape. I hoping these build pictures work! :mug:

Don't mind the garage mess we just moved into the house we had built.

Good work. I have to get myself another chest freezer so I can build a keezer too.

Looks awesome, man!

Regarding that chalkboard paint. It seems like it applied well...was it pretty easy to get on evenly and everything? I was a bit concerned about using it on the freezer because of the material the freezer is made with. Thinking of painting the top of the lid of mine with that so I can show what's in each of my taps.

I used a roller that is meant for doors and trim so it's smooth. It worked great but you need a ton to get it to look good. That is why I used it, I write my kegs on the lid.
