it definitely sounds like condensation.
Is the freezer plate frosted up too?
Does your fridge have a defrost cycle?Regarding the floor – You should have the double insulated floor layer, then 3/4″ treated plywood floor panel, then cover that with thin aluminum sheet.
The only time I see water is if the fridge ran for 6 months or so, then shut down for a few hours…as the freezer plate frost melts.
have you saved a copy of this? I can look at it from my end.
do you want to build the DIY keg box or use a store bought Kegerator unit?
Envirotex Lite, do a search in this forma and you’ll find tons of info, the instructions for Envirotex are also located in the download area.

It should work fine on marble and grout. See the list of materials in Moose’s post.
I like this one >
http://www.kennedyhardware.com/cast-brass-offset-ice-box-hinge.htmlThere are no current projects that look like that.
All current project core design are show at https://www.barplan.com/homebarplans
There may be some variations that come close to that (trimmed 45 top only) but not the bar body itself. You’d have to mod it yourself using the standard framing as a guide.BTW – You’d find photos in the gallery, not the forum.
Where did you – “read where you said you have some detailed pics on the builders forum but cannot find them.” ?
This is an advanced project that requires some modification on your part.
See the Builder’s Gallery for photos of how others have framed theirs.The only trick to combining the bar with the bar back is deciding how you want to align the two.
Typically you trim the wall end of the bar flush, removing any over hang.
Next Build the Bar Back and slide it in place. That’s it!
The other option is a bit more complicated and involved building a longer Bar Back using the CHBD, then butting the trimmed bar end to the bar back.
You would have to extend the bar facing sheeting to patch the gap between the bar and the bar back.
If you have questions, post them here.
I guess just omit section A of the EHBP-09 project.
That wouldn’t give you an 8 foot straight bar though. It would be about an 8 foot straight section with a 45 degree corner and small L section.If you want a similar project to the EHBP-01 with the same features as the EHBP-09, then try the EHBP-03 and skip the kegerator portion if you dont need it. That would be my choice.
the plan is at:

Items 66, 62 and 43
all angled boards. I’m surprised nobody caught these up until today. The CHBD has been updated. Thanks Herb for the good eye.
Steve was probably tired and used the wrong measurement mode (ortho) when making a parallel dimension. Back then the poor guy did it all.
I am in the process of going from front to back and re-proof reading and verifying all measurements. Once verified, those docs will receive an ISBN number and be published on Amazon S3.
Just an FYI regarding door fitting and hinging.
When using hinges, to open and close properly, you’ll have to trim the latch side inner frame so it clears the hinge side door frame. Add to that the discontinuation of the Rockler pin hinges (which helped allow for this door swing) and we’ve got a small problem…there’s and easy fix though.As designed, the inner door frame is only 1/8″ smaller than the door frame. So, many builder’s just forget the hinges altogether and used opposing latches to secure the door tightly in place, like a service hatch.
There’s no need for going in and out of your keg box, except when you change out the keg or defrost, so keep it simple. Be sure to install a small hardwood lip to support the bottom outside of the door frame to align it properly, then two opposing window latches (or similar) hold the left and right side of the door tightly closed. Simple solutions are best!
This one falls on me guys. I’m doing the updates for this, I’m also up to my eyeballs in alligators trying to keep the site alive in the search engines after Google 950’d the barplan.com site for using the words “bar plans” on our front end pages. You see, if people don’t find the site, the site is reduced to pizza money income, and if the site has pizza money income, I’m off all day working to survive and projects get put off to the next available time that is not already allotted to eating, sleeping and possibly living live for a few hours.
So, I’m combing 70+ pages of the site trying to clean up Steve’s previous “verbosity” and doing everything else. Plus, there is currently a global WordPress hack going on that forced us (along with Googles backasswards updates) to close the blog.
That all said, it is very easy to do the calculations to lengthen or shorten this model. Also, because this design was created before the CHBD and did not have it in mind when it was designed so there are several shared parts that make entering it into the CHBD problematic. The only solution is to redesign it from the ground up, which will take, you guessed it, time.
What can YOU do? Help us stay alive in the search engine by interacting with us on our Facebook page. It sounds silly and I’m not a big fan of FB, but social signals are now very important in distinguishing a valuable home bar resource site from what Google now calls “webspam”. That or use the little feedback link on Google’s web search form to complain that you searched for (for example) “wet bar plans” and could not find Barplan.com
It’s become so dog-eat-dog out there that I’m spending more time trying to tread water and keep the site in operation than I should be spending creating new projects, supporting customers and finishing a few half completed projects, like the EHBP-04 on the CHBD.
Finally, I’m working on developing a whole new site that will avoid Googles new restrictive EMD update. It’s called woodawg.com (silly name, but there are no competitive search terms in it, unlike barplan.com) You’ll notice the site now on top in Google have made up word names like HOUZZ.com, decopad.com, ehow.com and decorati.com – ridiculous!
Whew! I just woke up, so that may not spell check right. ;^)
I’ll do my best to get this done ASAP. :unsure:
