ICE Cream Grow Box

I just got a a no-working ice cream freezer from work for $1 so why not turn it in to a grow box.
[image]http://www.shroomery.org/forums/thumbs/09-10/628854948-thumb_Shroom_Grow_box_009.jpg[/image]
First thing I did was add laminate tile to the top so no light would get in you can pick this stuff up at any hardware store. You can skip this step if u like. I just put a Frow light in as to just have more control.

Then I installed The Frow light that I had laying around. Hooked to a timer 12h on 12h off. Found a Rubbermaid top and cut it to fit the Ice cream cooler and taped it together with duck tape.

I put wood all around the sides to hold the tray.

Next I installed and Automatic humidifier.

I removed the Freezer compressor and put a super quite air pump in its place. Drilled a hole in the side for the air hose to the humidifier.
All done I can get it humidified to 95% with no problem and fit about 3 spawn bags in it so once my LC is done I will post pics of my grow. I have a few more supplys before I get the grow going but the box is done.

Please fix your picture links. They're not viewable.

I have the same humidifier and pump, it's not that great though....
I like the idea of the ice cream box. Good steal for a buck.

I just copied and pasted the .jpg url into [ image ] put the address to the url of the picture in here [ /image ] frames.
Take out the space between the "[" frame and the "image" and the "/image"... I just made spaces between them so you can see it, it wouldn't show up if I left them like they are suppose to be.
or you can click the Image button that is available when making a post... then copy and paste the address of the pictures url into the pop up that you get.
