Goodbye, fridge.

This fridge was donated by a colleague in Maitland from her mother's estate. It went with me to Bowral and then Kingsford and then Randwick, and then its life was cut tragically short by some kind of electricity thing during a storm. It faithfully refrigerated my food and the food of the 7 flatmates I've churned through in the last 6 years.

Here is the funeral ritual for a fridge before curbside collection.

1. Unplug fridge.

2. Remove lightbulb (location circled in last picture). Put it in the kitchen draw in case you can use it to replace a bulb in a future fridge.

3. Remove fridge magnets and menus.


4. Unscrew top door hinge and remove door. With an adjustable wrench from your GOSM tool kit.





5. Two people can carry the fridge to the kerb, and the door separately, without need of a trolly. Unfortunately it was collected before I had time to take a photo in location of fridge and door on curb.
