What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

One of the ram's wheels was coated in brake dust something awful. I tried to clean it up a bit, and made some difference, but it'll need more/better sponges than I had tonight. I'll give it another go after I replace the brakes.

Got the ford pretty clean though.

 

I think you are right

 

Definitely has that smaller pectoral fin

 

Rest of the roof is off the garage.

 

That and the "walls"will want to fall as they dry.

 

Well, my fridge picked a fine time to misbehave. I have a circa 2010 Kenmore fridge that came with the house when I bought it in 2013. Yesterday, it started running full time instead of "resting" between compressor runs. The freezer is cold and ice cream still frozen, but the fridge became warmer than usual. The fridge did start cooling down when I turned down the temp (which, conversely, is actually turning up the number setting - so I went from #1 to #2 setting).

The timing is good because of the Labor Day sales going on right now. But, it makes me nervous as the few models that fit my modest needs, can't be delivered until late this month or even the beginning of October. My needs are simple, a side that is less than 32" so it can fit thru the door, bottom freezer (prefer with a door, not a drawer), a depth of 30-33" (without water dispenser on the outside (I don't have a water line, so don't need on inside either - but they can be ignored), and prefer NOT Smart.

When did even smaller fridges start having double doors instead of single door? I think that cuts down on the actual useable space in the door.

 

It may just need the coils cleaned...that will cause the symptoms you list.
That or with a bottom freezer you have an evaporator fan that pushes the cold air from the freezer up to the fridge...that died on my Amana that was just out of warranty...it was about $25. On that model it wasn't hard to replace.

 

The good news is, we got a free fridge.

The bad news is, a transmission line is leaking on my truck

 

Free appliances are good (as a general thing, anyway)! You probably already know this, but be sure to leave the fridge sitting upright for at least 24 hours before you plug it in, since it was hauled on its side.

 

Lost a classmate, friend, and neighbor last night...he was trying to finish up mowing a customers yard when a fast moving storm blew in and dropped a tree on him.
He was one of those people that would do anything for you, and was his true self at all times...just a genuine good dude.
Godspeed B...enjoy your Great Reward, we will carry on a little longer here...

First thing I checked was the coils. I clean them regularly and I got very little out of it when I ran the brush thru.

Being as how I don't know how old this fridge is, since it came with the house (so at least 13 years), and it being a brand that no longer exists, I decided to just get the pain over with and go buy a new one. Also, the one guy in the area that has a good reputation for fixing appliances just started a 3 month leave starting at the beginning of this month. No one else in the area had any other local suggestions - and all of them had a diagnostic fee (fair, but still . . . .)

I went to HD and had a guy help me because I was becoming confused with looking at 97 million models online (he was wonderful). I can't use a large fridge (can't get it thru any doorway to the kitchen), so finally settled on this 18 cu/ft Frigidaire model. I think my current fridge is 20 cu/ft, or at least the outer dimensions suggest somewhere in that area. HD will deliver and install it next Saturday, and haul away the old one. Since I had a 10% off coupon, I paid $130 less than the sale price, even with the deliver/haul away charges.

Wish it had a swing out door for the bottom freezer (like my current one), but most come with a drawer. I'll probably find it works out fine for me once I get used to it. Also wish it didn't have French doors, but again, it will probably be fine. Both of those features probably help save energy in the long run (won't let as much cold air out when opening). since they didn't have a floor model, it will be interesting to see how the 3 bin freezer works out.

And, after more than 36 hours of non-stop running and using double the electricity it usually consumes, my current fridge is now acting as it should. But, I'm fine with getting it replaced and not being in panic mode about loosing all my food.

 

I'm sorry for your loss. There aren't many of his caliber around any more.

 

Sorry for your loss prayers for the family during this difficult time. Life is so precious we really have no idea when our number will be called it’s appointment that you will not reschedule.
