Refrigerator-2 Photo 2. Shows the top of the refer closed. A butcher-block cutting board was trimmed and planed to serve as strong-back for the lid. The original lid was supported just by a ~1/2" lip. The weight of the new lid would have eventually weakened that small lip. The butcher block is useful for cutting, and it supports the full weight of the new lid all the way around because it rests "on", not within, the lid opening. As with a classic butcher block, we periodically clean it with water and bleach, sand it with a block sander, and apply olive oil to keep the wood from drying out so much it cracks. The inside of the box top has elsewhere been insulated with a matching 4 1/2" of foam panels, covered with fiberglass.
