We had to make an unexpected large purchase this weekend for a garage freezer. Saturday we started to notice that items in our freezer were not quite as frozen as they used to be and by Sunday morning popscicles and ice cream were just liquid. We realized that turning up the thermostat to colder wasn't helping and began investigating. Well, by the end of the day nothing was working we called Fridgidare since the fridge is only 4 months old and left messages with every warranty repair place in Columbia... We decided rather than completely lose the $70 or more worth of food in freezer we should buy a small chest freezer to at least save stuff. Good thing... now that we have the refrigerator contents in three ice chests in the kitchen and the new freezer up and running we find out that the fastest someone can come to "look" at our fridge is probably Wednesday. Until then we will keep replenishing the ice in the ice chests... I guess on the upside I had been wanting another freezer with all the peaches, blueberries, and squash we had put up the inside freezer was getting a little full. Now we just have to grow a garden so we can fill the outside freezer with fresh produce (or buy a whole cow like Aunt Bee in Mayberry).
