Moving the freezer
Freezer moving day is best
planned for the spring when stores are low, but sometimes you have to
strike while the iron's hot. Twenty-some gallons of carefully
processed garden goodies plus two lambs from our friend had filled
our freezer nearly to the brim when Bradley pointed out he couldn't
finish the front porch with the freezer in place. Oops.
It took four
wheelbarrow-loads to move the freezer's contents around to the back
porch, then Bradley manhandled the freezer up onto our yellow wagon
nearly by himself. (Mark was in town, and Bradley seemed to be
doing better without me in the way.) It's amazing how a couple of
boards and an understanding of physics make it simple to slide a
freezer up onto the back porch.
Now
our freezer is right outside the kitchen door, and as an added bonus
it's on the north side of the trailer where summer sun won't make the
motor work extra hard. I wonder how much energy savings that bit
of shade will gain?
