Comments (2)Very good! Did you leave the motor attached? and did you drill holes in the bottom? Wonder if an old refrigerator laid on it's back would work. How about old coolers, they have a drain already in the bottom. Could even build old wooden box around a cooler with wheels and move around. Ideas tend to snowball in my head, then I get tired from the thought process and have to take a nap....See MoreFun with grasshoppers, and thanks!
Comments (3)Many, many years ago my aunt would pay my two cousins and me a penny for each grasshopper we caught. Now that was pretty good pay because we would frequently have a couple of summers in a row where the grasshoppers were plentiful and we were quite proficient in grabbing those critters. Only one problem - we would put the grasshoppers in the glass Coke bottles. Getting them in was easy, getting them back out to count them was the problem! But we had fun and the fact that it reduced the grasshopper population was secondary to us, although it was important to our aunt. Sorta miss those days. Mary...See MoreAll Fridge/Freezer
Comments (5)It is the same fridge /freezer combo sold by Sears Kenmore. You can try buying the Electrolux or the Kenmore Elite and just get a good warranty. Sure, they are a bit noisier than the best and they often have a bit mor3e variable temperature. Don't get an exterior water and ice maker. Get a freezer that unloads ice into an open container so you can quickly slide your glass into it and get your ice. It is much faster than an exterior unit anyway and that is the part of freezers that breaks most often--exterior water and exterior ice. While I went more upscale--I bought a Thermador Freedom 30" fridge and a Freedom 24" freezer, I didn't add the exterior ice and water dispenser. Not only does it look better without it, I can get ice for me or 8 people 10 times quicker than any refrigerator with an exterior ice dispenser. The Thermador freezer has a great automatic ice maker that dumps into a huge open tray. A trick I used was using my contractors name and bought it under his corporate name, getting a sizable discount--about 20%--maybe a tad more. If you want to buy a separate pro looking fridge and freezer it will cost. That is just a plain fact. Putting together a kutchen is deciding on your busdget and spending more on what is most important to you and compromising on things that are less imprtant. There are a lot of good stainless sinks made by Lansen, Tricor, and Siena (my fave being Lansen) that can save you a lot. There are plenty of cheaper dishwashers that perform about as well as the most expensive, except they are often considerably louder. CR will show you fairly inexpensive models that are $1,000 (or more) cheaper than the pro-looking brands--and you may still find some stainless brands in the cheaper area that perform quite well. You can save a lot on faucets if you aren't married to a Grohe or other high end faucets. Get well made--not painted, cabinets from less expensive companies. Many are still well made. Kraftmaid, Wellborn, and some others make nicely stained cabs. Greg...See MoreFinally bought a freezer last night...
Comments (10)Congrats on the new freezer, you're going to love it. I have a large upright, about 22 cubic ft. I am NOT the most organized person in the world but I do try to keep the shelves sectioned. Just give some thought as to your eating habits. Right now my top shelf is fish and seafood with veggie's on the right, second shelf is beef and more veggies, third shelf is pork and frozen doughs (puff pastry, phyllo, etc. Then I have a shelf for grocery store frozen stuff...like FF's, pizza, ice cream, etc. Below that is my stash of local fruits, mostly blueberries, strawberries and cherries. The door shelves are saved for small items that are easily lost on the big shelves.. Nancy...See Moreediej1209 AL Zn 7
