I got home from work last night to a large puddle of water on the kitchen floor with Cee Jay telling me that the stuff in the freezer was beginning to thaw out. After fixing this refrigerator twice already, I decided it was time to find a replacement. Of course, we leave for Idaho on Thursday and every dollar we spend now is a dollar we won't have to spend on the trip... thus, Craigslist.
We quickly found a 4 year old, stainless steel Whirlpool that looked pretty good in the photos. I called the owner and set up a time to head over there and pick it up. It was just Cee Jay and me going to get it so it would be a lot of fun loading it, and rest assured, it was. The Whirlpool was quite a bit smaller than our refrigerator, but being just the two of us, and still having a working fridge in the garage, it wasn't a big deal. We just needed a working, decent unit. At only $400, I think we found the right one.
Getting it in the truck did prove a chore, but we did it. A big thank you goes to our neighbor, Jonathan for offering to help as he passed by and saw us struggling. With his help, we lowered it out of the truck and got it in the house with no problems at all. Hooked up the water line, plugged it in and pushed it into place. Another task checked off the list.
Oye.
