My HUMI converted from a Military Issue Foot locker

Guys, this is a no frills project. Over the past 3.5 years, I have used this for box storage. I recently repainted the outside black, sanded the SC inside, built an air circulation grate for the bottom, and added a shelf to hold my Cigar Oasis. Lining with a rubber foam tape, where the lip of the lid closes, it has a great seal. I have great hold on humidity and can store approximately 15 boxes.

Here is the link to my gallery:

HARTMAN stops in front of PYLE and notices his foot-
locker is unlocked. He picks up the lock and holds it
up to PYLE.


HARTMAN
Jesus H. Christ! Private Pyle, why is your footlocker unlocked?

PYLE
Sir, I don't know, sir!


HARTMAN
Private Pyle, if there is one thing in this world that
I hate, it is an unlocked footlocker! You know that, don't you?


PYLE
Sir, yes, sir!

HARTMAN
If it wasn't for dickheads like you, there wouldn't be any thievery in this world, would there?

PYLE
Sir, no, sir!


HARTMAN
Get down!

PYLE steps down, from the footlocker. HARTMAN flips open the lid with a bang and begins rummaging through the box.


HARTMAN
Well, now .. . let's just see if there's anything missing!
