Sometimes keeping them cool in the summer is a chore also. I have mine in a bedroom on the north side of the house, works great in the summer and winter, If we can get down to 48F or so at night that room will stay below 60F all day. I just open the window and turn a small box fan on at night to cool the room. Then in the mornin I shut everythimg up. Worked good this year.



Next year will be different. I bought a Walk-in cooler from a resturant that was closing down and cut the sides down so I am able to build it in my Garage. Then I bought a wine cellar refridgeration unit that installs through regular 2x4 wall and cut the opening in one of the panels. Great thing about this is I can take it down in the spring and back up in the winter.



I will post pics, I just finished building all new racks for everything(so they fit through the door of the walkin cooler) this winter, and my summer build is the hibernation chamber.
