I got a hutch off of craigslist for $85.00
Spent $15 on tubes of wood putty.
3 1/2 hours sealing all the glass and joints on the inside.

Holding a rock steady 67/62% for the past 2 days.

Nice looking display case. I hope you don't have any issues with the wood warping or anything due to the higher humidity.

Killjoy!:tongueout

I didn't really think about that at all. I'll have to keep an eye on it and maybe shore up the backerboard a little.

Very nice looking hutch Rob and even better considering the price. I am sure the inside RH is no different then Indy during the Summer months. I am sure you will be fine. Have fun working things out, that is half the fun.
