I AM TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT….

I AM TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT….

 

We bought a new refrigerator, which is suppose to be delivered on Thursday…  We decided to move the old one out to the garage as an extra one for summer pop and etc.. and Thanksgiving dinner making extra space.

So we got up bright an early  yesterday to do just that.

 

I guess it was wearing on me, more than I thought, as I woke at 4am…and couldn’t go to sleep. So I got up.. Usually I get up at 7am.

 

At about 7am, we got started. Took stuff off of the top the night before.. But had some totes that I put the food in and cooler for the freezer stuff.  Dragged them around the corner in the kitchen to give us room to remove the refrigerator.  All that went fairly well. 

 

We had to take the refrig out the door (luckily we have double doors) and across the deck and then the tricky part of down the 3 steps to the walk way, thru the gate and into the garage. Sounded simple enough. My job was to keep the refrig and dolly going down each step slowly and not take off.  That went well, Then the King decided while in the laying position, it would be good to vacuum the back and bottom. Then it was time to raise the dolly and refrig. Not quite as easy as it sounds.  Did manage to raise it as I keep it from taking off… and thru the gate it went and into the garage, get it position into the area we wanted. Plug in.

 

Then it was clean up time.. 5 years of sitting in one place. But to our horror we discovered that the cabinet next to it had rot in the base. So that open a whole new ball game.

Removing stuff from the top of the cabinet… coffee maker, microwave and etc.  Remove all the stuff inside of the cabinet… pans, rolls of wax paper, alumimum and cling wrap… lots of them. Boxes and boxes of them. 

Then unscrew the cabinet from the wall.. and out to the deck.  The King cut and replace a base to it, while I washed parts to the refrig.  And then put it all back in and replace all of the food in the freezer and etc.  About a 2 hour project. 

 

The King got the base done, while I scrubbed the floor where the refrig and cabinet were. (10 years for the cabinet).

We put the cabinet back. The King measure the area for the new refrig. And the lower cabinet was great… but the top one was very close.  So now we have to remove them and move them over. We have 2 inches to do so. Long story short, we found out after removing everything, unscrewing the cabinet that now refused to move.. we did NOT have to move the cabinet.  So the King put it all back together.. I looked and saw it was slanted.. slanted badly.. The King was so fed up with it all, he was going to leave it. I told him no way.. and I would point it out to all of his friends.  So he decided to use the level and sure enough (like my eyes were not good enough) it was way out of line.  After much cussing and protesting.. we replaced it aback to where it belong.  And then we reloaded it all, with pots and pans and rolls of stuff… and coffee cups in the upper one with many things in the larger part.. and large dishes and bowls on top.

By noon it was all done. Everything.. well just about all, back to where it belongs. Floor washed…

 

We looked at each other and said at the same time.. I AM TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT…

Now to wait for Home Depot to deliver on Thursday… and hope and pray they don’t postpone it.  As we will be really sick and tired of going out to the garage to get stuff out of the old refrig.

And as with all of our projects, tempers raised, cusses were throw around, and yes, I earned my bitch wings well.

NO, we were not arguing… we were just pointing out our own opinions… of the project.. lol.. although a bypasser might have thought there might be combat soon… lol
