NEW FRIDGE, 3 MONTHS IN THE MAKING

Planning, planning, planning! How hard could it be to get a new fridge, right? Set a budget of say... $2,000 and should have a decent enough fridge. 3 months and 4X+ over budget later, it's finally here!

BEFORE: old Kenmore fridge; lasted 16 years, so can't complain.

NEW: Thermodore 36: single door; custom panels to match my cherry wood cabinets, SubZero handles (Thermodore handles are really bulky and unattractive)

Freezer!
