A building with a walk in cooler in Red Oak Iowa was bought and is being torn down.  They are selling the walk in cooler.  Might be worth checking into if some one was looking for a cooling unit.  Has to be out of there by the weekend

We bought our cooler parts when a local grocery store moved to a new location.  After taking the walkin cooler apart and putting it back together, it honestly would have been easier to order new panels from Cool Calf.  Unless the price is right or your are a DIY person, I would go the new route.

We use a trac phone hooked to an XLink.  It always calls out when there's a problem, but I've never been able to get it set where I can call in and get a status on the temp. We use the Sensa Phone 400 unit and have a magnetic door.  We currently installed a wifi camera in the cooler and in the alley of the barn.  I can log in on my iphone and check on the cattle no matter where I am.  I also hung a theremometer that I can see in the cooler so that I can check temps too.  We've only had the camera setup going for a month but it is awesome.  I've busted my daughter a couple of times shortcutting the washing, lol.

Barn cameras are great, getting cheaper and easier to setup to.
