Random DIY mixing and More

Make sure you put your freezer on a pan. You could probably find something similar at a farm store or such. It just needs a rim for when you defrost or condensation (may happen).

Thanks, but do I really need to have it on a pan at all times? Can I just put a pan under it when I defrost it? Now, I want to point out that I have no idea what goes into defrosting a freezer. So those questions might have been very stupid.

You could get by without one for now. If it is self defrosting. I have a big stand up freezer in the basement that has to be defrosted yearly. It's a mess but its on concrete.

All I know it says manual defrosting on the descriptions for the freezers.

You will have to defrost. Another thing to consider: How are you going to pick it up to put a pan or liner under it. Maybe @Uncle might know since he has one in his closet? (If I read it right).

I'm so burned out from work.

I don't know. Lift with my legs, I guess.

Could be heavy?

I think it only weighs about 40 pounds according to the product page. It's not lightweight, but it's manageable.

Even at my age, I carry each 50lb. bag of horsefeed over my shoulder for about 30 ft., every time I get feed. A hay bale here weighs approx. 50-65lbs., but I carry that in front of me. So a young guy like you will have no problem at all with a 40lb. mini-freezer.

Goodnight All....

What brand do you have?

Arctic king. I ordered it from Walmart last year and picked it up at the store.

No vape mail for me today, but I did get a new toy. I got my Lifefuels water bottle. It's a water bottle that you can insert three flavor pods that squirt measured amounts of flavor into the water and it tracks your water consumption on an app. I've had it for 1/2 day and I've drank 3/4 my day's quota of water. Obviously I won't get the full amount in today.

I picked up my car after spending $500 getting the oil pan repaired. I was told that I had a transmission solenoid out, but that shop didn't work on transmissions. I took the car to a transmission shop. They said they could do it in about a month, but it would be better if I took it to a local shop that specifically works on German cars. I took it to that shop and now have an appointment for two weeks from now, with an estimate of $1000-$1500. He has to pull the transmission out and he goes ahead and replaces all the solenoids so he doesn't have to do it again later. Anybody want to loan me $500? I spent too much on vape gear, but even if I hadn't I'd probably be short. I hope my brother can help me if it's too high.

That sucks. Car expenses like that really hurt. Years ago we had to have a new transmission put in my wife’s car. No choice since it was unusable.

Yeah, I am not really super worried about it. I'll just be sure to eat my Wheaties that morning.

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

Mine is bigger and I carried it downstairs by myself. The freezer itself isn’t that heavy and with a small one like that I’d think you should be able to lift it fine.

Good morning. It's my Friday and I'm looking forward to my four day weekend. I was planning on fixing my dryer but since that's not happening I'm just going to do yard work, put up vape gear, and deep clean the house.

I have a question. Do the bottles from Heartland come in a box with separations between the bottles? How do they ship them? They are only $2 less expensive at Heartland, but from amazon they come in a nice box with those cardboard separators between the bottles that I use to store in the freezer.

@hittman You have a pm.

I am guessing that the sarcasm wasn't properly expressed in my previous post about lifting with my legs. I am not at all worried about about moving a tiny freezer. But I appreciate all the encouragement from everyone.

That is one of the brands I had previously considered for my 1.1 cu ft freezer. They seem well reviewed.
