Sandy ....
I have an upright freezer. The coils are in the shelves, which is what makes it easy to have them repaired, if there is a problem.
I don't have a lot in my freezer right now, but wanted to get it done before I went down to the valley for a meat run. There's a butcher shop that always has a great sale in January and has good meat, so I generally re-stock my meat in January.
I also need to do a dump run so I can get rid of the stuff that has been hanging around too long. I don't dare put that stuff in the trash. That would be a critter buffet ...
Some of those housekeeping tip sites do have some good tips. If there is a way to make a task difficult, I always seem to find that way first ...
, so those sites often keep me from working too hard.
