GE bottom freezer frij, produce freezing in bins
Comments (1)I don't know the answer but I have the same problem with LG that I bought in November 2006. My neighbor who bought another brand (I think Kitchen Aid but not sure) is having the same problem. Maybe it's just that the bottom freezer types are not engineered as well....See MoreBottom Freezers...Do You Have a 2nd Fridge or Freezer?
Comments (28)"I don't understand the french door thing. Why have to open two doors? It has an application in kitchens with small aisles, I guess, but I dunno - I'd rather have the aisle spaced correctly. The ones with the big trays across the bottom are the worst to me." LOL - side by side fridges are basically French Door fridges - it's just the freezer is one side and the fridge is another - get an old school fridge with the freezer on top or bottom with one door the entire width of the fridge and I don't care how big your kitchen is, you will be desiring side by side or french door for the half-width doors. Also, if you prefer a side by side, why would you have to open both doors on a french door fridge? Your already used to accessing the fridge through a narrow door anyway :o) The side by side fridge I have came with my house - otherwise I would never own one. You can't put in odd-ball sized stuff, and normal stuff doesn't even fit well. It has allot less drawer space than the Samsung freezer on the bottom I had in my town house, and my Samsung was the smaller 18 cubic foot and my side by side is 25.5! To me, a side by side is like a 1500 square foot two story house vs. a 1500 square foot ranch. Theoretically they are the same square footage, but in the two story you loose space to stairs and hallways - not nearly as much actual usual space. I too have an extra chest freezer, but as others stated I would have one anyway. I have a foodsaver and I'm not afraid to use it. I buy things in bulk, on sale, and freeze them routinely. I wish I could find a fridge with a single height freezer drawer for quick access to the stuff I use regularly and the rest dedicated to fridge space. That would be ideal. Indeed, if I ever remodel my kitchen I'm seriously considering putting a fridge only in where my side by side is and a single freezer drawer (if they make such a thing? Surely someone does) in my island. I'd gladly sacrifice a little cabinet space for some more fridge space. I guess if you don't cook at home often, or eat that many fresh fruits or vegetables it's less important, but I never seem to have enough fridge space....See Moreoffice organization
Comments (3)You will hate me for this: You do not need more containers at this time. As you said, there are bins under your sewing table you need to clean out. (And perhaps there are other to-be-sorted piles here and there?) I really think that "clutter" doesn't cease to be clutter if it's just put into a new container. What you need to do is sort and decide whether you still really, really need papers, whatevers, you've got stashed in different places. Toss first, then decide whether whatever storage containers you currently have will suffice for everything left. I nearly bought a 3rd filing bin before I sorted all the paperwork I had and realized that many things I no longer needed (like very, very old credit card statements and warranty/instruction manuals for things I didn't even use anymore or were long out of warranty). That 3rd filing bin would have been wasted money. And you have to be honest with yourself. Are you really going to use those old sewing patterns stashed away? Are you really going to try the recipes or crafts in the magazines you've had for a long time? Rate them by priority: Is it something you really want to try within 6 months, or is it something for "in the future sometime"? If it's in the second category, think about whether you really want it cluttering your space if space is an issue. And does ALL of that paper really have to wind up in the office in the paper form? You might want to start scanning some of that stuff onto your computer. Also, you should consider giving yourself a "forced" deadline for the magazines in your new bin, if you don't already do this: Once the magazines reach the top edge of the bin, you can't put another one in unless you take an old one out, go through it thoroughly, rip out the important crafts/recipes/decorating pics and throw the rest out. (There's a magazine storage post over on another website in which the poster said she was overwhelmed by all the mags--she just couldn't fathom going through a couple years of magazines. I sure don't want to be in that situation!) I love places like the Container Store, but buying more decorative holders for stuff should come after you do your purge. Otherwise it is not organizing your office, it's just moving things around. And, yes, I have done this: old catalogs gone, except for a few important ones, the rest I can see online; old magazines gone through and then given away at work or freecycle; craft things I know I don't need; now I'm going through videotapes to see if any can be given away; old sheets and towels that went to the animal shelter; etc....See MoreWire basket bins in fridge's freezer vs the usual plastic bin
Comments (18)Ahhh..sorry to hear that. Any option to upgrade to SS? Or maybe a different brand?. This s##t drives me crazy . Honest. I feel for the designers who came up with the wire bins and know they are the way to go. Then some mucky- muck higher up cheaped out on the manufacture. Which of course inspired the general public to now become cynical on all new and interesting products. Welcome to my world. Lucky for my customers I was both the designer and manufacturer. Not boasting just saying there are many small manufacturers on Houzz like myself , Rachelle?Sinks , Havens Metals and others who just don't play those games...See Morepudgeder
