Hey all!

I'll be embarking on a rebuild of Ananda's icebox. Here's the plan:


  • Cut the top out around the icebox opening, freeing the existing liner and granting access to the insulation that's there.
  • Clear out all the old insulation and replace with Cryogel Z insulation (R=10/inch). Likely 3 inches of new insulation to approach R=30 for the install.
  • Cut and plug the bilge drain hose - new drain hose will empty into a bucket only.
  • Fabricate a new liner out of fiberglass and install in place inside the new insulation. Apply insulation to the top of the liner.
  • Glass the liner to the old top, forming a new holder for a door. The exact door system has yet to be determined.


What do you guys think?
