In early March our 17 year old refrigerator quit cooling and John couldn't fix it. Trying to service it required pulling up some of the kitchen floor - that we weren't happy with - and the next thing you know we got a new refrigerator and enough new flooring to cover the kitchen, dining room, and hall. Not in the plan! The refrigerator had to come over by barge so we brought along garden supplies. The flooring project, all in all, took about a week and it looks good. We like the new Electrolux and it uses much less power. Now the kitchen cabinets look a bit shabby. Oh no!
