We don't sprinkler the Coke machine or the Red Bull machine. Is this thing constructed on site or is it brought in as a unit. If the latter and since you can't walk in I'd call it an appliance and not a room (or space). On Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 8:15 PM, A.P.Silva <[email protected]> wrote: > Haven't seen the cooler.
