I have some good news. We've had the old fridge in the garage tarped over for more than 10 years so the other day the man set it up and opened it. It was spotless. I did an excellent job cleaning back when.
Anyway he gave it another clean and it's now a beer fridge which is great because I don't need to tetris my food in the inside fridge every Thursday night.
Tonight we will be celebrating with the original fridge. Also great for storing watermelon in because that shit takes up a lot of room before it gets cut up.
Who knew that cleaning and properly caring for things means they last!
I really expected it to stink because I've smelt closed up fridges and they fucking hum but this one was odour free.
When I think about it, I think it's been closed up for about 15 years not ten. We bought it in 1998. Pretty happy it gets another run.
There's a Cowboy Bebop episode called "Ganymede Rock Lobster" where the crew of the spaceship is attacked by something that grew in an old abandoned fridge.
