    Tip first.I am sure most of you know this.Just in case try your local craigs list for free refrigerators to convert into an incubator.Just went and picked mine up and have gutted it.It is ready for the conversion.Now the?What do you use to make the hole in the frig for your cords to go through.I know it has to be drilled but I have never seen a drill bit big enough.Also I believe the case is plastic.Help please!
    Thanks!Mike.

    I used a mini fridge and when I took the little freezer part out of it (along with the probe/cords) I used to the hole that was already there to run the cords from the freezer part to outside the fridge. Do you have a pic of the inside of your fridge?

    Check your local restaurant supply shop, too. I got an old used, but perfectly serviceable for an awesome incubator, hot box from them for free. The thing's huge. Made completely of SS so it's very easy to clean and keep sterile, and it has a glass front door so I can see in.

    so when you guys do this do you just run the tape around the sides, or do you do the top /back/bottom as well? i've got a few people here looking for one i can use and then i'll be doing one as well, i love the hovabator i got dont get me wrong but this way i can do corns if i ever get them and maybe even get a few done so i can do diff inc's for diff sexes/projects etc.
