GJA got the milk out of the fridge for breakfast and said...the fridge gave us one final gift - it totally froze pretty much everything that was still in there...nice.
After the delivery guys called with our 3 hr window (and they said, we were earlier on the list), we managed to pull out the fridge and vacuum off the floor and were able to get the dripped out gunk off the floor too - it wasn't as nasty back there as we had thought it might be.
They had no problem getting the old fridge out - and the fridge didn't leave without giving us the finger as it left the house....stupid thing left a trail of dripping water and gunk all along the way out the front door. I guess we shouldn't have been surprised...the roof was always covered with condensation/and crap...once it was moved around, it would have made the drips release and come dripping out.
Getting the new fridge in was a little more involved because it was just a wee bit too big to get in the front door. They wanted to take off the handles (that was what was making it too big) but they couldn't find the tool they needed...which I was glad of...I didn't want anything to affect the doors (handles or doors) because I wanted to make sure the door seal was good (and not hampered with). They decided to take the front door off of its hinge and walked it in.
It just barely fits in its spot...but it was the perfect size - with 1/2 inch all around it for circulation...there was easily over an inch (or 2) all around the old fridge. It was plugged in and we could hear (barely) a small hummm....ahhhh...so quiet! I was dying to get the stuff back in the fridge...but because it takes awhile to cool down, we only put in the stuff that wouldn't fit in our garage fridge.
PJ loves the doors - which is annoying because all he wants to do is open/close them all day. Hopefully the novelty will wear off soon. He also loves that if he leaves the door open too long, it beeps. Later in the afternoon, we put our stuff in...and it looks like a university student's fridge - empty! HA HA. I was making sure we didn't have alot to deal with for the change - good thing I did because we had run out of room to store everything while waiting for the switch-a-roo. Having the milk jugs in the doors leaves us so much room in the fridge area - love that! The best part is when you open the fridge part, a choir of angels sings... "LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA".

GJA didn't think there was enough room for beer - hello - the fridge is empty...there currently is a ton of room for stupid beer. The only annoying thing (so far) is that unless we take a shelf down, there isn't a space tall enough to put in an open wine bottle - oh well, I guess there will be no left over wine - it all must be consumed the day its opened...drats. ;)

It's beautiful! I've been thinking of getting one just like that. Keep us up-to-date with how it works out after the Angels stops singing, if they ever do.
ReplyDeleteI sure will, Sheila! The Angels were still at it today...so they may be here to stay!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fridge. Congrats. Leftover wine - in my world that is almost sacrilegious;) Enjoy both the fridge and the wine!

HA HA - me too...but for some reason we always have some left over - I think its DH's Scottish roots pouring too little into glasses and hiding the fact there's still some in the bottle by keeping it in the fridge.
