It's A Good Thing...

I'm glad that I managed to at least do a little work in MY bathroom today, because I won't get a chance to work in the other bathroom or the girls' bedroom today!

I went to order (and prepay) for a new gasket seal for my fridge. While I was waiting for one fella to look it up, I got to talking to another one. He asked me some questions and according to my answers, my biggest problem isn't my gasket. He said it sounded like it might be either my fan (which I happen to know is working), or the heating element inside the back of the freezer (it takes care of the automatic defroster on frost free models) is froze up.

So my work in the kitchen isn't done by a long shot. He told me how to check several things, and depending on what I find when I follow his directions, I may wind up with a new fridge. Not that we can afford one at the moment, but I'd rather know that I need a new one than to throw money at an old one that isn't going to do any good. I may just go out and find a decent used one if I can.

This wonderful young guy also gave me a tip on how to plug the hole that was melted into the bottom of my dishwasher. I will look at taking care of THAT issue as soon as we have the septic system straightened out. DH doesn't want to worry about it until then, anyway. But at least I have an idea of what wil work to make it not leak anymore. Then I can use it for it's intended purpose, instaed of an extra large dish drainer! LOL

Well, I'm off to transfer all my cold items to the fridge in the basement.
