30 Long Startup

Purchased a 30L for my office on craigslist for 100 dollars, didn't care much for the oak trim and the seals were virtually non existant on this 12 year old so I decided I would start a journal and get a little DIY in with this one

Removing the old seals was a breeze since they were barely even visible
Used painters tape to make sure my seals were as clean as possible
