Been thinking about buying one. Your post is motivational.

Dang! Sorry to hear this happened to you. (reply)

sell the house move out West. It's your only good option.

I feel your pain, having replaced a six year old refrigerator that died last week. My losses weren't as great as yours by any means, but the notion that a fridge would die in less than a couple of decades is completely foreign to me. In our hunting cabin we have two fridges, both well over thirty years old. They run only when we're there, which is about the worst thing you can do to one. Nonetheless, they still work reliably.

I dread the day when my washer or dryer (both old enough to vote) dies.

Wow, that's a lot of lost food. Sorry about the freezer, they don't make them as good as they once did.

ONLY FIVE YEARS! OURS MADE (reply)

IT 48 YEARS THROUGH THREE STOVES AND THREE REFRIGERATORS.

That didn't make me chuckle... (reply)

but rather feel a bit of your pain. Losing a bunch of hard won food is not fun, not to mention the expense of replacing the appliance. Hope your next one lasts longer and may you have good hunting as you replenish your stock.

On a somewhat related note (as to stocking a freezer with variety), way back in the later part of the 20th century we had duck, chicken, deer, cougar, goat, beef and perhaps another one or two species of meat producing critters.

That's what the wife said to me when she walked into the house. I dismissed it because I too smelled something outside when I walked the dog the day before. I went to the basement to use the dremel to finish a knife project and I also smelled something. My over sized freezer died at 5 years old and I lost 2 years of viddles. 40 Lb of ground venison 30 lb sausage 25 lb hamburgers 15 lb meatballs 20 lb trout to be smoked and 4 store bought pork buts with 20 lb pork fat was going to do a big run of sausage kielbasa and pepperoni. several lbs of venison roasts several packs of chicken and some packs of steak and about 30 lb of pork tenderloin some hole some sliced. 1 flat of blueberries and other miss. Thank GOD for the vacuum sealer because without it the house would be unlivable.I had this happen once when I was much younger. Tomorrow clean up and the catfish and turtles will be eating well. Going to be hard to catch up I have been trying to live off what I killed for a few years now.
