Got all of my trim picked up for the entire house. That's going to be a lot of work when I get to it all, but I'm looking forward to it.
I'm hoping I don't have to replace my fridge. It started really acting up a week ago. The freezer had a layer of frost on everything that started to grow. Just yesterday I noticed that the fridge wasn't that cold. So far, it looks like it's because the holes got plugged up with ice over the years... at least I hope that's all that happened and it wasn't an immediate thing that started when something broke on it.
Been de-thawing it all day today since I got back from running all my errands. My dumb ass just bought a week's worth of groceries too. At least it should be cold enough outside for everything today. If it were tomorrow, I'd have to figure something else out since all my frozen stuff would go bad.
Fingers crossed.

I don't think they're listening to you Jack.

And fwiw I have a doozy of a cough. It's been incubating for a week, when I woke up with red, gummy eyes. I cough so much, so hard, I have a nasty headache. My trachea and bronchi hurt. And I have an earache and stuffy nose on top of it all.
I think I'm going to go back to bed.
Feel better Kiki.

Wish I could help!

I think I lucked out with the fridge.
Takes a while to get it cold enough for food from scratch, but it's been plugging away at it for over an hour now and I finally brought everything back in. Looks like none of the food was ruined.
I definitely had a problem with the innards though. There's one unit up top in the freezer that has a grate at the top with a fan behind it, and it goes down to the fridge where it splinters off into three separate "holes". They were completely stuffed with ice.
I got this from some family when my old one died. No idea how old this one is either. Ever since I had it, it's had an evaporation problem. Ice cubes will literally disappear by themselves if left in there for a few weeks (I rarely ever use ice anymore because of my teeth and my almost involuntary chewing when I use it). Water also likes to come down these holes and pool up in the basin of the fridge below the crisper drawers.
What I'm thinking (hoping, actually), is that over time the water slowly dripping down into the fridge started freezing like icicles outside and eventually plugged these three holes up completely and that's when the frost built up in the freezer and the fridge stopped getting cold.
All I know for sure right now is the cooling mechanism seems to be working just fine. I probably won't know for at least a few days if this thing is going to keep working or just go belly up though. But at least my new food isn't going to go bad.

Quote:Well, it worked, sort of. After a couple of warm sunny days I could see some weeds dying back ... but only some weeds and only if they were in the sun. The filaree and pineapple weed were very susceptible, but the as far as the cheeseweed and grasses ... as far as they were concerned I may as well have fertilized them. Not comfortable spraying a lot of chemicals in the yard because of the dog and all of the friendly critters that come to visit so I'm planning to use a weed torch. I just need to find out what kind of propane supply and at what price, plus I need to decide whether I want the big 400,000 btu one, the 100,000 btu one, or the 20,000 btu one. The advantage of the smaller one is that you can spot-weed more effectively, the disadvantage is that it takes a lot longer to cover the same square footage because the flame size is so much smaller. I think I need a big one, I have a lot of square feet to cover.

More snow and wind for my province over the weekend and some into next week.

Hmm.. sorry about that. They obliterated the weeds by my house. Not sure if it's because we've got different growth or because you used less than me or a combo of both. I don't have any animals around me except for ones that want to destroy my property, so I wasn't shedding any tears about using more than the recommended amount.
If you're getting a torch, I recommend not going any smaller than the one they used on Aliens.
The fridge seems to be fine. I just have to hope it keeps working right, but I don't see any evidence that it isn't.
In fact, not only is it running more quietly now than it did before, but some of the louder "cracks" that I have heard in the kitchen area (right next to the porch) since around summer time when I was first panicking about the state of the house were mysteriously absent last night. I think what I had in my head as actual cracking of stuff due to the porch foundation shifting was actually my fridge letting me know it was having a serious problem. It was probably all that ice in places that it shouldn't be expanding and getting into places where it wasn't designed to be.
I'm going to do some digging this week and see if there is an optimal temperature setting on that model that I should have on that thing to keep the buildup from happening again.
