And he wants to get colder.
Jim is trying to get a cooler in his attic.
Now, it’s possible to get a walk in cooler as a kit, and you can get them through just about any opening. but they are spendy:
some are over 5k, and even a cheap one will cost around three grand.
I’m not sure what Jim means when he talks about the cost of a freezer in a garage; a freezer costs the same to operate wherever it is- if it’s hot, it still has to move heat from inside the unit to outside, and an attic will be as hot as a garage. Plus, the idea of having a garage mounted generator makes it a double benefit to have the freezer out there.
A couple of wall mounted freezers, or even a small chest freezer in the rafters, will work perfectly, and cost a couple hundred dollars. Additionally, an electric fan in the garage roof will make it more efficient, and a couple sheets of styrofoam glued aroud the outside of the freezer will make it keep cold longer even in the event of a power failure. Any other ideas for Jim in comments?
If you like the musical stylings of the Spankers, (not all of their stuff is bawdy, and they are a hoot to watch) go here. Me, I think Christina has a great voice, and I wish they’d come to the midwest where I could see them. you know, in flyover country. plus she has huge… tracts of land.
