This thing is fucking stupid motherfucking heavy. Bringing it in the house was damn near impossible but not for my brother, myself, Archimedes, an appliance moving handtruck, and an engine hoist.

The result is worth the effort:

That's not the living room, it's the sun room off the back deck.

So...Did you have to come through the window, or did it fit through the front door?

Front door. Small machine. Didn't even need to take off the screen door (PITA, as you know).

Looks pretty awesome in the Florida Room, dontcha think?

Can't wait to put fresh fluorescent tubes in it, it'll light up the whole room at night, and look good from the deck.

Poor Jack needs a new place for his bed...

...and of course one slot is reserved for Sierra Nevada ;)

Good. The last time we talked about it, I was envisioning some type of crane, or perhaps a Sikorsky. :lol:

It did take the engine crane. I think those things are typically moved by forklift.

It didn't lend itself easily to being moved (gross understatement).

I guess it's made from "too heavy to steal steel".

I didn't realize that they were that heavy but it makes sense...as far as deterring theft.

Sounds like when we were moving the safe into the house.

Yes, think safe, but larger. Basically, it's made like a fucking safe so people can't break into it, or steal it easily.

Stupid fucking heavy. The compressor is loud as balls too.

I'm glad it's NOT in the living room.

How are cans useless? If you're working around the house or in the garage, cans are the way to go. Bottles just add extra weight and risk of breakage.

The only reason to buy bottles is:
1) So you can stand around in a bar trying to look hip
2) Because the brand you want isn't available in cans

Yeah. Cans FTMFW.

Two 12 packs of Coke at the Hess are $5.50

Crush to dispose easily in recycling, don't shatter.

If you want a can vendor, kids, now is the time to act. They're all coming out of service, and being replaced with 20 oz. bottle machines.

For the home, the little Dixie Narco is the shit. It looks like a Coke can (bubble front), and it's barely 5 ft tall, and only 32" wide.

The bigger machine is over 700 lbs. Fuck that shit. I don't think I coulda gotten the larger thing into my house.

Avatard
04-21-2010, 11:26 AM
You can't easily find soda in glass anymore. Beer, no problem.

Plastic lining in a can vs. plastic bottle are a virtually a scratch on flavor, IMHO.

Buy your beer in glass, if you care about beer.

I was thinking about getting one of those a couple weeks ago. Come July, my place is going to be perfect for parties, and since you can't buy beer after 1:30, we were talking about getting a soda machine and overcharging for beer. Or we'll just get kegs.

Get the machine. It takes you out of the money collection equation, and keeps it simple.

Empty machine of money, insert more beer. Repeat.

Also, if anyone ever asks with the wrong tone "who's machine is this?"

Jesus wasn't in the garage, he was holed up in the office/spare bedroom, and helped me get my space pod out of the garage. If you think moving a soda machine is sumpin', you should see the pod.

Jeff Goldblum actually comes with it [he teleports in], and tells you how to operate it, once it's all hooked up.

JC, ya got those pics you snapped with your phone of the space pod?
