The Great Freezer Meltdown of 2006--Revisited

November 25th, 2006 at 12:27 am

Yep, you got that right, revisited. I cannot believe this happened again. DH is the culprit, he was the last person in there on Monday. Of course with the holidays and everything, I didn't even go into the laundry room until today and guess what? The freezer door was wide open. We lost everything. This makes me so mad (not at DH, just that it happened) as the stuff actually made it through the power failure and there had to be over $500 worth of frozen food in there, maybe $600.

I filled up the garbage can, though I haven't hopped inside and done the garbage dance yet to smoosh it down and fit more in. I still could probably fill the can again. This means an extra can has to be put out this month. At least. Which means an extra pickup charge on the garbage bill. I'd gotten down to putting a can out every 3 weeks instead of every 2 and now I'll have to put out at least 2 in a row. Sigh.

I'm ready to get rid of this freezer. The door doesn't always fasten right. It belongs to my mother and it is older than I am. She wants it back and is going to give us our freezer back. We traded a couple years ago because she wanted to downsize and had a chest freezer as backup. Well, the chest freezer died, so we figured we'd trade back. Not sure I want any upright again at this point. But I certainly don't want the old menace, so as soon as I can get it all cleaned out she can have it.

    Oh Robin- that is sickening. I cant imagine losing all that food not once, but twice. And especially bad at this time of the year. I am so sorry!

    So sorry. I've had the same thing happen...........the door on my upright just wouldn't shut right. I used to keep it locked, primarily so I knew the door was really closed when someone shut the door. Too many times I found the door open & the contents dripping out into the garage.

    My homeowners insurance paid for a portion of the contents, which I believe my policy will do ever other year I think?? I did have a receipt for the half of beef purchased prior to the 'meltdown'. You might want to check with your agent.
