Yep, that's right, two fridges in four days. You see, our old side-by-side fridge was well nigh 20 years old, and we decided it was time to get a new one. Something that wouldn't use as much energy. So we ordered a fridge with the regular fridge part above, and the freezer below in a drawer. So on the 17th of February (yes, this story is that old) we took all the food out of the fridge, moved it to another spot out of the way where we wouldn't walk, then put the food back.

-

Now, the fridge hadn't been moved for about 15 years, and a natural result of that is that it hadn't been cleaned either. We discovered a couple of magnets when mom and I moved it, and a picture. The floor had a nice coat of dirt and grime, and even a rust colored part of the linoleum where the fridge had apparently scorched it. Thank God that it didn't catch on fire! Once we swept away the dust, and scrubbed it, it looked much better.

The next morning I helped mom to move the fridge outside, it just made it through the door. A couple of hours later the two delivery men showed up took the old fridge and put it in the truck, and brought out the new one. They had to take off the two upper doors to actually get it though our front door. So then they set it up, put the doors back on, and then left.

It was rather strange; having a big black fridge where the old almond colored one had sat for so long. But that was nothing compared to the worst news of all! When I was putting the food into the fridge and freezer, I discovered it was too small!
Yes, that's right! even though it had more sq footage, it didn't have good placement of it.
So we went back to Lowe's (where we got it), and picked out a nice side-by-side; same brand and color as the other fridge.

-

On the 21st of Feb, the delivery guys took out the old, new fridge, and brought in the new, new fridge. Now all is well in the universe since we have one that we really wanted. It fits nearly everything that we kept in our old freezer too, and it would have held it all if it didn't have the ice maker and dispenser.

So there we have it; a finished, new post. Huzzah!
