Help w/kegerator

[toddfore]

Converted an old 60/70's refrigerator to hold a sixth. Would like to have shelves on the opposite side to hold bottles. Problem is that the walls are only 1/16" thick so I don't know how to secure a plywood square to act as a shelf. 2nd problem is I overcarbonated my keg. Can I just release some pressure and let it go for a while? Any help is appreciated.

First question: I'm assuming this is an upright fridge. One possibility to consider (not 100% sure of this by any stretch) would be to get a so called "floating" shelf from a home supply store that would give you some bottle storage space. Just a thought.

Second question: Yes, purging the CO2 periodically will reduce the carbonation safely but it may take some time.
