Note: For my YLTTL assignment description, please scroll down to the first comment. I do believe my fridge saga is finally over (for those of you who have been following along on FB and IRL). A couple of weeks ago, the compressor in my old side-by-side fridge/freezer decided to wheeze its last breath. Thankfully, we did have a small fridge/freezer in the garage, but we still had to toss a ton of food that had either spoiled or was iffy.
The day before throwing Marcie’s birthday party, we went fridge shopping. After much searching, found a floor model that we liked – ooh, French doors! So, we bought it with a nice discount. We were never told that we could not use our existing plastic water line until the delivery guys showed up on Thursday and told us they couldn’t haul away the old fridge and hook up the new one until we got a plumber to replace the line with copper. Plus, there was a penny sized gouge in the door – on the stainless. It was not there when we inspected the fridge before buying it. Not acceptable. We refused delivery, and started back at square one.
On Saturday, when Hubs, the great negotiator, finally got in touch with the sales manager who sold us the floor model in the first place, he got the guy to offer us an upgrade, new, and it happened to be the model I had really wanted but was twice the cost of what we wanted to spend. And, he was offering it to us at the same price we originally paid a week before. Woo hoo!
Finally, it arrived today. As soon as the delivery men were gone and I removed all of their smudges from my precious, before it was even fully chilled, I had to put something inside. Priorities, people.
