The Refrigerator Saga...

This is my first mobile post. I'm not sure if there is a blog app or an easier way to do mobile blogging... I'll have to look into it for sure though. So in the quietness of the living room this morning I listened to the sounds of the neighborhood, the backyard, and the house. However, aside from the regular mundane sounds of a typical Saturday morning there was something else, something I had never heard before. The quiet humming of our GE refrigerator was tainted with what sounded like a little Japanese boy playing with chopsticks and a fan. tat tat tat tat tat tat tat tat... (you like that description? ...yeah, I'm sure I did that once or twice back in the day. Haha) There goes the cooler again. Sure enough, when I checked the temperatures the freezer was reading in the teens. I checked out the cooling grate in the freezer and it had started to ice over again! ...lame

After speaking with Alicia we figured the best thing was to call and check the warranty stuff. As it turns out, the refrigerator is still under the manufacturers warranty for 11 more days then our Home Depot extended warranty will kick in. This is probably the first time in my life I'm glad that we had purchased one of those warranties. So I got on the phone with GE and after five different 1(800) numbers and five automated menus the earliest appointment GE can offer is in 9 days - I'm told that until then I can chip the ice away on a daily basis... Really? Anyways, so this turned out to be one of those life's lemons and lemonade moments. We got the family activated and with my mom and brothers help we're loading my old fridge that was in San Bernardino and taking it down to our house in French Valley!

Alright, I'm gonna get ready. Just got the text that they are getting close.

So, As you can see. I really made sure that there was no way this fridge was going to open up on the freeway or fly away! We had that thing taped up and tied down like no body's business! The fridge was surprisingly light. I didn't tell Tony but I'm pretty sure he pulled the whole thing on his own. The most I was doing was making sure that it didn't tip backwards. Haha. When it came time to unloading Alicia and I were able to do it ourselves with no problem.

Our GE fridge continues to have fits where it's warm and cool, warm and cool. I'm not sure what to make of the situation.  The other fridge is up and running in the garage. It'll be nice to have two working refrigerators. Our current situation is this - we bought a GE profile series french door stainless fridge to match the other GE appliances, however, we purchased a counter depth fridge so that it wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. It looks great and fits in with our kitchen perfectly the only down side is that counter depth fridges do not lend themselves to much storage space! 

I'm sure this isn't the last we'll hear about the Refrigerator Saga... Remember, 8 days from now GE is going to come out and fix our fridge - hope that goes well.

As for today, we're eventually going to make our way to my parents house and switch the vehicles back. Then just relax - Monday starts another work week!
