Geez, everything is made out of cake these days! .
What happens here
After the opening has been cut, perform a test fit of the mini-fridge or cooler. If necessary, make minor adjustments to the opening using the saw or a file to ensure a snug and level fit. Once the fit is satisfactory, carefully lower the appliance into the opening. Secure it in place using screws or mounting brackets if provided with the appliance. Apply an outdoor-rated sealant around the edges of the opening where the appliance meets the bar to protect against moisture and complete the integrated look. If the appliance requires power, ensure it is safely connected to an outdoor-rated electrical outlet.
Goal: Securely install the appliance and complete the bar modification.
