I have been a small scale hard rock gold miner most of my life.
To give you a idea aboiut building a tunnel is hard not knowing the ground that you are dealing with.
If it is soft ground you will have to rock bolt it and gunite the walls after you put chain line fenceing up(lots of work) or you might be able to timber it? Or put a 8 foot culvert pipe in it But that is big money.
Look up old mining books on Google books and you might find something. Here is a good one

They have competition and some are on a smaller scale!

If all the components are cheap why is the box so expensive??
Wonder if they will get some stimulus money for this project??

The box is only 12 inches deep and it is on drawer runners. It fits under the lowest rack in the freezer.

Every time you open the upright you dump all the cold air out. It becomes just like an upright fridge.

Not with a box in the bottom of it. I made a stainless steal box for the freezer at the barn and you can see the cold air enter it instead of pouring out the bottom on to the floor.

I don't know what you mean by "remote thermostat".

I'm talking about converting a chest freezer to a refrigerator using a thermostat that will shut off the freezer when it gets cold enough.

A remote thermostat is what you use to convert a chest freezer into a fridge.It plugs into the wall and your freezer plugs into it.
How about I call it a external thermostat.

Here is a picture-

Now my is what kind of Kwh's would I get if I used this on a upright freezer. Instead of a chest freezer.

A standard, upright fridge uses ten times more energy than a chest style fridge. 

Is this the case with the remote thermostat.
Sorry for dragging this on I'm just not sure you are answering my question ops:

The upright uses about ten times more energy.   Diana thinks the chest style is a bigger hassle.

What???

O.K.Paul the chest freezer with remote thermostat uses 100 watts a day and the upright freezer with the remote thermostat uses 1000??
Might as well use a regular fridge if thats the case insted of trying a upright freezer.
Are you sure this is the case???

Hundred of people have tried it and it works great.  That's what Diana is using (see above) - only she is seriously considering going back to an upright!

So the upright will save Kwh also but how many???
