Lowe’s was really great about helping us take care of our fridge problem – I have a newfound appreciation for that store (at least our local branch). Having two tired toddlers along for our shopping trip may have earned us sympathy points, but they were even nice on the phone when I called to say we had a dead fridge so how soon could they deliver.

This house came with all appliances when we bought it in 2007, but we were tallying it up last night, and the stove is the only thing we haven’t had to replace, for one reason or another.
