Fortunately the defunct freezer is in the shop. I have some other errands to get done around the property in prep for an appraisal, but next week probably I will clean out what remains and throw it out, then wash out the inside and stand it upright to use as ammo storage.Many years ago, in a blue city to the west, a friends uncle gave him cash to stock his freezer. Interestingly he actually spent most of the cash on hamburger and bacon and only reserved a portion for his beer fund.
As time went buy he ran out of bacon in the refrigerator and went to the freezer to restock the fridge. When he opened the freezer he realized things were amiss when he was assailed with the putrid stink of rotten meat.
Being a collage student with little time to spare between his academic and drinking schedules he determined that the situation would require considerable thought and planning and being that the issue was in a containment vessel there was no reason to rush, so he went for a (few) drink (s).
Time passed (months) until his friends decided to address the issue and remove the freezer. That was when he discovered that the freezer had been in place before a room had been added to the house and the freezer would not fit thru the new doors. Did we mention that this was an old ammonia based freezer?
Long story short, using borrowed fire department breathing apparatus, the rotten meat slurry had to be scooped out in buckets and hauled outside for placement in a 55 gallon drum for disposal.
After the muck was removed and with the continued use of the breathing apparatus and borrowed saws the freezer was cut in pieces small enough to remove.
