Freezer Project

 So we've been in freezer mode here lately! The freezer in the basement at my parents house was just too much with going up and down the stairs, so Sis and I decided to get them a new freezer and put it in the garage so it would be accessible without any stairs. Since the elevator is in the garage, it works out!

We found this little unit at Menards. menards.com  For only about $200, 6.6 cu ft.. Only thing we had to figure out was, the seal on the door was so tight it would pull the whole freezer around trying to open the door! I fixed that with a little bit of plumbers strapping and a screw to the wall stud! All fixed!

So, I was telling Hubs all about the freezer adventure, and he says, we should get a new upright freezer too! I couldn't agree more! Our little freezer is at least 20 years old! I looked at Costco,  But the upright one they had was a little small I thought, 10.2 cu ft. 

So I looked at Menards.com and saw one like the one we got the folks, only bigger 13.8 cu ft. Great ! I'm ordering it. Here's the link if you want to see the details....LINK

I placed it on top of some cement pavers, just to keep it up if snow blows in to the garage, like it does sometimes. 

It looks great, I froze a cup of water in it in just a few hours and transferred the foods from the little old freezer to the new one the next day. 

There! All done! I sure to like everything at a glance instead of standing on my head to see to the bottom of the little old freezer. I hope this one lasts as long as the little one has-it's going to the next-door-neighbors, they have a new baby (plus two older girls) and could use a little extra freezer space. Now I imagine Hubs will make it his mission to fill it up!
