At last, the appliances are here

[dorchadas]

The saga ends!

Yesterday I was woke up out of bed by a call that the appliance guys were coming in 20-30 minutes, so I threw on some old clothes, we got Laila out of bed, and I hauled everything off of the back stairs and helped sashagee take everything out of the fridge and pack it into the coolers my parents had brought over the last time they came to visit. I went out to go stand on the alleyway corner to make sure the installers came in the back alley like they're supposed to, and while they were thirty minutes late, it was the same people from last time so I needn't have worried. They brought up the dishwasher and got it working first, then hauled out the old stove and fridge and hauled up the new ones. In a couple hours, we had an entire set of new, working appliances.

Our old fridge was totally full. This one takes up the same amount of space in the kitchen, but look:

Tons of space up at the top and in the doors! I might even be able to go back to making shiozake or Japanese-style tsukemono! We'll have to see how the room works out.

All this on sashagee's birthday.

Glad everything has arrived at last. The fridge is great, it always interests me what people keep in theirs :)

What's the most interesting thing to you in the picture?

My first thought was how lovely and spacious it was and then the amount of jars and bottles! Mine is much smaller but plenty big enough for me. Fridge at the top and a freezer at the bottom which has lots of veg, chicken, fish, frozen berries and bread in it.

Nice fridge! I wish we had a better one LOL. Space is very nice to have. Especially with 3 adults in this place. Our Freezer causes too much cold at the top, so we have issues maintaining a proper balance, since the top is too cold and the bottom is too hot.

Yours looks just right! Happy Bday Sashagee!

She says: thank you!

Yeah, the old fridge was plenty of space...for me. Like I mentioned, I haven't been able to make my own shiozake and tsukemono for literally years, but there might be enough space now finally. I'll have to give it a try!

Is there a way to fix the fridge temperature, like putting ice packs on bottom to hold in more cold or something? I suppose that just makes the space problem worse...

That is a nice fridge, glad you finally got it!
