Founded in 2005: interested in lots of stuff; bores readers easily, apparently!
Last weekend was pretty irritating: our main refrigerator died, after lingering with what seemed to be decreasing cooling for quite a while. Turns out it wasn't just our terrible habit of loading up the thing with half used jars of pastes, pickles, jams and condiments of one type or another, only to throw them out a few years after their expiry date. I'm not joking: I found a large jar of home made, souped up soy sauce my wife had labelled in 2012! Maybe refrigerated soy sauce with plums in it lasts f
Anyway, looking for a new refrigerator, I have realised that the general design of them seems to have gotten deeper as the years go on. Already, the deceased fridge stuck out past the cabinetry it is beside; the new one is going to have 10 cm more protrusion. (Maybe it will come down to 5 cm, as we have left about a 10cm gap between the back of the current one and the wall, as you are supposed to do. I suspect that gap can be smaller without disaster, though.)
