    FINALLY Finished My Incubator! PIC HEAVY

    This took forever because of my busy schedule but I am closer to becoming egg ready! I bought this non-operating fridge for only 50 dollars which I thought was a great deal. (plus i love coca cola so its awesome!) Small incubator fan mounted, 4ft heat tape, water bottles, metal shelving, thermostat, silicone, then lastly foam were all i needed to turn this into a 16+ clutch holding incubator! The thermostat probe is on the second to last shelves since that's where I was able to have the best temp control. Within the whole incubator it stays within 88-90 depending on which shelf you monitor!

    The pics are basically the steps I took to turn this fridge into an incubator!

    That's SICK! Awesome job. Wish I could come up on a fridge like that. Hope it brings you many great clutches.

    Nice that looks awseome. I have to do the same thing with my display fridge of the same size soon.
    It seems like a fun project.

    It's a lot of fun! I suggest you have all the materials at once rather than what i did and wait to get everything piece by piece!

    That part that im going to have troubles on is actually taking the compresser out of mine. I know nothing about it and I hope my boyfriend and I can figure it out lol.
    Thats the heaviest part about that darn fridge.

    scariest thing is just cutting the freon, be very careful since that will literally freeze your hand and it is a deadly gas. I took out all the lose parts and actually left my compressor intact because it would have been very top heavy if i took it out!
