Tough loss for me today

[Pete]

The garage fridge died today.  This is bad.  This is where I keep beer, extra milk  , take out food containers, frozen pizza, other frozen foods that seemed like good ideas when I bought them, and hard liquor in the freezer.

Now I have to figure out how to get this &@#%ing thing out of my garage.  AND, given the current usage patterns of our kitchen fridge I have no place for the above mentioned items.

I also recently found out that I have to replace a roof and get work done on a car.  This displeases me a great deal.  Why does God make bad things happen to marginally good people?

Sucks.  btw How much food do you usually keep on hand

[RonLongshaft]

I've said it a hundred times but have never done it due to hangovers, work (when back home), shackin up, etc. but hit up a garage sale Saturday morning, cruise around til you see a fridge, probably pick one of em up for 20-50 bones.

sorry dude, don't know what I'd do w/o my garage fridge.  have to stop buying beer by the 30.

[Pete]

Thanks Ron and SD.

I don't keep crazy amounts of food on hand, but I do love to keep my booze and soda out there.

I will probably transition to a large dorm fridge thing and/or a freezer.

I know.....do you think you could get by with one of those larger dorm-esque fridges?  Seems like I could, but maybe I'd regret it.

[steve dave]

Yeah bro, I bet you could nail a dorm fridge on craigslist for almost nothing.

This is why you budget and build up an emergency cash fund.  Then these things become minor inconveniences, especially when you realize its a fridge that sits on the concrete floor in the garage and has random spare car parts on top of it and a weed whacker leaning on it and can be any color, size, whatever as long as it keeps things cold. 

If nothing else cut blocks of ice from the lake to keep all summer long.

Pete has millions of dollars fwiw.  He just loves to bitch about money.

depends on the load, if you go this route i would wait and craiglist or facebook marketplace about mid of may, probably get one on the cheap no doubt. i have a sweet black and stainless steel GE i got out of the insurance company(long lightning strike story) in my room that can hold about two 30's all my condiments and some milk, bottled H2O etc.

hauling it off is going to blow, and if you take it to the dump they make you pay because of the freon. I recommend getting a "dolly" and dumping it in your neighbors yard a couple of doors down in the middle of the night. hth.

Maybe to just get by, but I would don't think it would work long-term.

Don't have a fridge but a large freezer in the garage.  waiting for family or friend to remodel so I can take there fridge to add to my collection.
