Now here's an idea...I already have 2 uprights, although I get his point of the vertical doors. I only have 1 chest freezer right now, but still....an idea...
Well, maybe neither is an ideal replacement, but it's a start at seeing what sort of options I might have aside from hitting Best Buy or Sears with every penny of that Economic Stimulus Rebate check. I really don't want to stimulate the economy with my rebate check...I want to hoard it for a while.
Of course, as soon as someone gives me some great advice on living without a fridge -- and the family not rebelling at the idea -- I could take that stimulus check and buy this....now that is a dream stove!
Have you looked at a refrigerator only unit? When we were shopping the other day there isa large fridge at Sears for 1/2 the price of a fridge/freezer that would have worked for us since we do do seperate freezers, just didn't know about it in time!
~~That's exactly what I'm looking at if I have to buy. I have a chest freezer, so I don't need another one. The article on retrofitting the freezer was interesting to me. Dewey is an electrician, so I'm going to appeal to his cheaper nature tonight and ask about fitting one of the upright freezers out in the building....might be my cheapest, best route.

No indulgences of self will can be trivial, no denial unprofitable; Heaven or Hell depends on this alone. A parent who studies to subdue it in his child works together with God in the renewing and saving of their soul. The parent who indulges it does the devil's work, makes religion impractical, salvation unattainable, and does all that in him lies to damn his child, soul and body, forever.
Susanna Wesley
At The School Desks
We are a Christian family desiring to raise our children with the primary focus of Training their Hearts!
I have no greater joy, than to hear my children walk in truth... III John 1:4
Train up the child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it... Proverbs 22:6
Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!... Deuteronomy 5:29
Our mission in life is not to go to some far-off foreign land, but to work at home and in our churches and home communities. Our goal should not be to leave behind riches and possessions, farms and homes for our children, but a priceless heritage they will cherish enough to work fervently to pass along to their children. It has been done for generations and with God's help it can still be done. In teaching our children, we are striving toward a deep understanding of who they are In Christ. I am . . . a child of God, a gift to my parents and my country. I'm a person of great value because God made me. I can . . . do all things through Christ who strengthens me. God has made me able to do everything required of me. I ought . . . to do my duty to obey God, to submit to my parents and everyone in authority over me, to be of service to others, and to keep myself healthy with proper food and rest so my body is ready to serve. I will . . . resolve to keep a watch over my thoughts and choose what's right even if it's not what I want.
