We got a new stove Monday! That evening, after the girls were in bed, I started to do some deep cleaning. Time to clean out the fridge so we can use it. First, though, does this appliance work?

Short answer: of course not. It's the only major appliance left in the house.

Turning it on, it sprayed white powder (sort of baby-formula consistency) at me through the vents. Lots of it, like it was snowing. While pondering what to do about THAT, I unplugged the fridge. "Hm, that's strange, it's plugged into a two prong plug. How does that work?" I turned the cord around and discovered that the third prong on the plug had been torn out to make it "work."

We already have reverse polarity issues on the only remaining three prong plug in the kitchen, so (another) call to the electrician and (another) visit to Sears for a new fridge should fix the problem.

Good news: The fans in the attic work, as does the switch to turn them on.

Replaced/will be replaced(*): Water heater, furnace, oven, fridge*, washer*, faucet in the bathroom

Appliances not tested: the 20 to 30 year old dryer and 30 year old oven/fridge in the basement kitchen, microwave.



And, on to life....
K = ear infection, E= fairly normal, just a cough, I am on antibiotics for strep that won't quit, but am feeling fairly good, just a cough and cold symptoms. S = out for the count. High temp and (I'm sure later today) will have chills. He has not been well in the last 6 weeks, looks like it's getting worse again.


Last week we spent with S's family for his grandfather's funeral. It was a very good time and I'm very glad we were there.
