Bought a New Freezer

Since Michelle and I moved in together we have had a chest freezer that was kind of small. It was one she has had for years and was only 5.0 Cubic feet of space in it. It works great, but sometimes gets a little cramped as we tend to buy a lot of bulk items when the prices drop and vacuum seal it and freeze it. Yesterday our little one was just a little too full and it became time to actually upgrade our freezer.

Michelle wanted an upright freezer, I just wanted one that was bigger than what we had. I understood her want for need for an upright, it's so you can organize everything and not have to dig around looking for what you want.

We decided on a new Frigidaire 13.7 CU ft upright and went and bought it yesterday. We were actually able to put it in a Ford Escape and bring it here, I think the wheel wells in the Forester would have prevented it from fitting, but it fit in the escape and we were able to bring it home.

Because we laid it down and it's an upright freezer, we set it up and wont power it on until this morning. This allows all the Freon to settle at the bottom once again and minimizes the risk of damaging the unit. We'll power it up before we head out for work today and transfer all the meat to it this evening.

Chad's going to take the old one and use it to store reptile food in. I think he's going to take it down to the store when they exchange ownership and store pet foods in there.
