I got a super deal on a wine cooler and small fridgerator during construction of the keg plan. So I modified the plan so I could stack the 2 units next to each other. While I had to make so changes I also realized the the left and right side of the coolers requires 4″ trip taking away so of my increase of space from side to side. I had to widen the space again and then realize the height was short by an 1 1/2″. So my bar ended up being 44″ high. My wife said great, its just at the right height to rest her you know what on : )
