[Greenbuilding] Refrigerator cabinet?

Hello, all.

     Eventually, I will be attempting to use an annual cold storage  
system for my family's refrigeration needs.  This will require an air- 
tight cabinet with an insulated, gasketed door.  The interior volume  
will have to be pretty large, to contain a bunch of water-filled 2- 
liter soda bottles, and also the family food.  Ideally, it would have  
a double door:  one large, insulated door, and one see-through door  
of plexiglas or somesuch.  That way, people could open the door,  
acquire the target by sight, and then spill as little air as possible  
while actually getting the food out.

     I am not a fine cabinet maker.  I can insulate thickly around  
the outsides of the thing, but the learning curve and expense of  
building an air-tight double door is daunting.

     Frankly, just the door system would probably be enough; I can  
graft that on to the front of a built-in-place air-tight cabinet, if  
need be, though a more complete solution would be better.

     Does anyone know of anything which could be adapted to my needs?
