    spoke to Dale Shipp about 802 other froggish + <=-

    What type did you get. We have been quite pleased with our full sized double door with bottom freezer. A friend got a counter depth double
    door frig/freezer and is constantly frustrated with it because of lack
    of depth for storage.

    I'll have to let Steve fill you in on the make, model, etc but it is a full size with French doors and freezer on the bottom. No water in the door feature; that's one that we can do without as we have the reverse osmosis system at the sink. Getting it in stainless steel--the other option was black (color of our current fridge). Steve was interested
    in the black until a sales person showed him that it was just a
    coating, with stainless underneath.

    Except for color (ours is white) it sounds exactly like ours. We have
    an ice maker in the freezer, no water. The bottom freezer means less
    bending since you are in that less often than you are into the produce
    section, etc. Ours has a filter. There are less expensive filters on
    Amazon than the brand name. The system wants you to change the filter
    every six months, even if you don't have water. We learned how to fake
    it out and change the filter less often than that.

    Hi Dale,

    What type did you get. We have been quite pleased with our full sized double door with bottom freezer. A friend got a counter depth double
    door frig/freezer and is constantly frustrated with it because of lack
    of depth for storage.

    I'll have to let Steve fill you in on the make, model, etc but it is a full size with French doors and freezer on the bottom. No water in the door feature; that's one that we can do without as we have the reverse osmosis system at the sink. Getting it in stainless steel--the other option was black (color of our current fridge). Steve was interested
    in the black until a sales person showed him that it was just a
    coating, with stainless underneath.

    Except for color (ours is white) it sounds exactly like ours. We have
    an ice maker in the freezer, no water. The bottom freezer means less bending since you are in that less often than you are into the produce section, etc. Ours has a filter. There are less expensive filters on Amazon than the brand name. The system wants you to change the
    filter every six months, even if you don't have water. We learned how
    to fake it out and change the filter less often than that.

    The filters are expensive, yes, but IIRC, Steve mentioned something
    about getting a better price on Amazon. We usually don't change them
    every 6 months either, especially if we've been gone a lot in that time.
    This fridge doesn't have the carousel yours does but we don't really
    need it. (0ur dining table came with one that hasn't gotten a lot of use
    since we bought it in 1992.) Steve is putting down plank vinyl flooring
    in the kitchen now, before the fridge gets delivered, so he won't have
    to move it to do the job later.

    spoke to Nancy Backus about Putting up was:Tempe <=-

    It was a help as he started doing a flooring project in the kitchen so proper cooking would have been hard anyway. The flooring is almost all
    in place; will put the kitchen back "to rights" and get the new fridge
    on Monday.

    Is the plumbing installed for the new frig's ice maker? Will the
    delivery guys be hooking that up, or will Stephen?

    Is the plumbing installed for the new frig's ice maker? Will the

    The connection was there already; the old fridge had an ice maker. The
    delivery guys did the hook up. They're taking the old fridge to the
    church house; the older one there will go on Free Cycle.

    I don't think so. Again, small town living, even tho WF has gotten
    larger it still retains a lot of the small town atmosphere. The church
    building is about a mile from our house so they didn't have to go that
    far. What they did was to deliver the new fridge, went out to do other deliveries and then came back to pick up the old fridge to take to the
    church house. Helped that we didn't have to do a super rush transfer of
    stuff. (G)
