Ya, it's about 22 bucks for a 2"x24"x96" board up here.

I wonder if double sided tape would work to keep it in place. Then some kind of glue to hold the two pieces on the side with the top piece.

For asthetics, why don't you just make the cuts along the edges a bit sharper. Then pull the two side pieces up to the top part of the top piece...so it looks like one big square instead of the L shape on both top corners. Don't know if I'm explaining it right. I mean glue the two side pieces to the top pieces so it looks like one big upside down U if you took it off. Then just stick it to the sides of the fridge somehow then paint it white. A nice glossy white would make it look like part of the fridge. Although I don't know how well foam can be painted. I'm guessing it may just suck that paint right into it. I dunno...just a thought.

Good job though. I'm thinking of doing this to my fridge downstairs now. Gonna put the killawatt on it and see what kind of energy it drains. If it works well on the fridge, then I'll put it on the freezer too.
