Tabres Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I used to think it was kind of silly for people to have generators. Lets be fair, the average person almost never has a use for one (though sounds like you have plenty). Then my in-laws place got decemated in a tornado last year and the only thing keeping their home from being looted was a generator my wife and I picked up for them and a few lights they got going. I'll never think they're silly again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Man it seems like every other house up here has one. Being so far from power stations and still having above ground wires and a shit ton of trees, power is out probably once or tower a year for certain. Be glad you got one! Never know when it'll go out and youd end up losing all the food in the nice new fridge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 After the hurricanes that passed through here the past few years, every home in the Northeast should have a generator. All looks good Ryan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never know when it'll go out and youd end up losing all the food in the nice new fridge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkpretty much our thinking. my biggest concern is the time without power. if it goes out for a day, no biggie. however, we're down a dead end street with only 12 houses on it. we are at the bottom of the priority list to get fixed. apparently they lost power last year numerous times for days at a time. the longest being 5 days. and that was in the dead of winter. so it's not just the food, it's the heat also. got this stuff last night so i can start to modify the fridge cabinet to fit. We pulled the fridge out and moved it to the otherside of the kitchen for now so i can work on the cabinet and then bring the new fridge right in and transfer the food over. once the old one is done, we'll move it downstairs. thankfully the cabinet is supported from the ceiling so that side panel isn't retaining any weight. so lucked out there. taped up my cut area, and measured and drew out the cut line. It was getting too late to start cutting so i called it a night. will pick this back up thursday morning. with any luck they will deliver it in the afternoon and it will give me time to get the cabinet at least cut and the pieces removed before it gets cluttered up. there is a concern about the flooring though. The floor is currently linoleum and it was cut around the wall that i'm taking out. so there will be a missing section of linoleum. this will be on the edge of the fridge so you shouldn't be able to see it. we do plan on replacing that floor sooner rather than later so i'll address it then.

95riosnake Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 You won't regret Bosch. I have nothing but good things to say about every Bosch tool I've ever used. I bought a variable speed Bosch palm sander a couple months back to replace a very loud and worn out Skil, and I honestly look forward to needing to sand things now.

I bought a variable speed Bosch palm sander a couple months back to replace a very loud and worn out Skil, and I honestly look forward to needing to sand things now.I had read a bunch of reviews and comparison articles and the bosch was always on the winner. also couldn't beat it being knocked down $30 for the holiday sales. looking forward to firing it up tomorrow morning. Fridge is supposed to arrive between 3-5 so if i can have it cut out, sanded, and painted by then i will be quite happy. really that's all i'll have to do so it shouldn't be a problem. of course that's barring any complications like the cabinet falling from the ceiling or something.

Yeahloh95 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 where did you get it ? i need a good jig saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 where did you get it ? i need a good jig sawlowes. started with the up cut on the left. did it free hand and it turned out good. then setup a straight edge across the front. yeah that didn't work out so well. i set it up perfectly with the cut line but i'm thinking because of cutting on the side it kept having the blade sink down. i couldn't readjust the cut then because of the straight edge was in the way. i ended up pulling the straight edge off and just doing it free hand. ended up that the freehand 2nd half was better than the straight edged 1st half. this is what i'm talking about. this is the bad spot. the side then turned out meh. it got a little wavy towards the end because i was going up against the wall and couldn't see the line as well. and the final product ready for the new fridge. the floor as you can see has an indentation from where the wall was. the fridge will cover it up so i'm not that concerned. we'll fix it when i redo the floor. fridge should be here in the next couple hours.

Prokiller Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 fridge was supposed to be delivered between 3-5. got a call at 5:10 asking if they can deliver it between 6-8. They finally showed up at 7:40. had to take the front door off it's hinges, and remove the hardware for the storm door to get it in the house. they hooked up the water line and plugged it in and we we're good to go except for the fact that it was all kinds of wobbly. of course the put the right rear wheel in that little floor cutout. so after they left, we pulled it out and moved it over. the floor is not quite level in this area, it slopes up towards the wall. So after bringing the feet down on the front we had a nice and level fridge. so much room for activities!! the gap is really tight (that's what she said) looks like if we want to put the upper cabinet doors back on i'll have to cut the bottoms off. i knew it was going to be close but because of the floor not being quite level it pushes the front up more than i had anticipated. i'll see what i can do about this saturday. and of course priorities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokiller Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Didn't have to read to the end to see the dilemma. Don't waist time with that cabinet pull it off the wall youll be much happier. that is a valid point, however, it's not as simple as this job. i would still have to cut/paint things to make it work. the electric for the microwave runs up through that fridge area and is attached to this cabinet so i would have figure something out for that as well as make the trim up top of the microwave cabinet line up. this was the easier solution for now. you can't see that the lines are crooked unless you really look for it. and besides, only tall people like you and me could even see the top. on a related note, the old fridge is now downstairs. handtrucked it out the front and around the back of the house to get it in. screw taking it down the stairs. i let it sit for a couple days to let the freon settle before i turn it back on. not to mention i still have to give it a thorough cleaning before putting it back into service. and the last piece of outdoor power equipment i hope to buy for the like the next decade got delivered yesterday.Ariens deluxe 28+. 28" 14 ft/tq snow blower.

Prokiller Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 it figures too that i got it yesterday and we have a Nor'easter coming up the coast that was supposed to be just rain today and tomorrow. then last night right at 10:30 my wife looks at the weather and they upgraded it to not only a winter mix and winter storm advisory to also starting overnight. which you would think would be fine and perfect since i got the snow blower....except that i used all the gas i had to fill up the generator and hadn't refilled the cans yet...so an 11pm run to wawa just to get gas. and of course because i did that, its just raining. you know if i hadn't, i would have woke up to like 10" of snow.
