Thanks. I weatherstripped all 4 sides so the door seals. The granite is 1 1/2" thick. I have a friend who took the extra piece from the sink cut out and cut it to size and polished it. Good luck with yours...it sounds like it's going to be sweet.

Very Nice Jay

Maybe I can drop in and take a look at it. Note that we both live nearby.

It's funny you should say that...on Sunday sluggo819 and I were discussing getting the 898V's. Now I'm going to have to!

For only 10 months in...I feel that I have selected some solid sticks...and the homemade humi is holding up great too. ;-)

I just told him to say that to soften you up a little.

Thanks Claudius.

Hey Jay, at the pace your going you'll have er filled up by Saint Patrick's Day. :ok: Looks way nice, great looking box you've built there. Is that a box of Cohiba Piramides EL 2006? The dark looking one? Anyhow your certainly off to a great start in the hobby of cigar smoking.

cheers

If I am on that pace then I'll be divorced around the same time! LOL.

Truth be told, I have a ton of room left in that humi...which is good b/c it gives me a few more years before I have to buy an aristocrat mxt plus!

It is a box of '06 EL's...only had 1 so far and it was rich. Thank you for the compliment...it is a hobby I am thoroughly enjoying. :-D ;-)

» UPDATED HUMI PICS FROM 11/17/07...PLEASE SCROLL DOWN...

wow you do nice work!

I have a question, I am doing some remodling and I installed a slider in the kitchen and completly eliminated an old back doorway, So now I have a 5'x6' dead space behind a closet in the den.

I am planning on leaving the closet as a front and installing a hideaway door like this http://www.hideadoor.com/ in the den

and then lining the space with cedar and dividing it in half for a humidor on one side and a gun closet on the other.

I am going to asume I need an inside door to seal the humi, but would I need to vent the rest of the closet if I am storing steel? Some of my firearms date back to the turn of the century....

Is this a bad idea?...or do able,,,should I go with one or the other.

again,,,nice work!

Thomas...thanks for the compliment.

Your plan sounds really cool. I'm sure there are a few guys here who would know more about this then me. I would have to see the space, but it sounds like if you set up the humidor section as a separate airtight entity and the gun section as its own section then it probably wouldn't matter. I would imagine that the vent would be for the guns benefit. If you need to do it for the guns to breath just make sure that the humidor section is not affected. And be mindful of the temperature in that area...think about what it would be throughout the year. I hope this helps a little. Good luck and post some pics as you do it. Cheers.
