I did it
I finished my DIY wine cooler incubator! It was uber easy
Sorry for no step by step but I just wanted to get it done.
All I need now is to buy the Herpstat 2 and I will be good to go!
When I bought it :
Stripped everything out of it :
Everything put INTO it!! :
My Bulldog Lola was an extremely huge help....not...haha...such a cutie!!!
So now Ill go into detail :
I found the wine cooler on Kijiji ($50) it was in perfect working condition and perfect cosmetically. I gutted the compressor and everything else that was not needed and then I installed the Flex watt, lights and then the probe for the thermometer and then threw the water bottles in and then the fan!
The lights I got off eBay for $20 for 16.5 feet of it and I got the fan off amazon for $20. I got the fan because I didnt really like the idea of splicing a computer fan into a cell phone charger. So I got a USB powered fan off amazon. Even better is that the fan has a built in speed control (it has a knob on the side). I power the fan with a USB wall charger.
The thermometer is from Home Hardware and it is a Indoor/Outdoor with Hygrometer. It also has temperature alarms built in so if it reads a temperature over a point I choose it will start playing an alarm. It also has that for humidity. I got it for $15.
Total build cost : $137
I know I could of done it for cheaper but I went for looks over lowest price.
I dont think it turned out too bad!
Thanks for looking everyone!!!
Now I just need eggs!!!!!
