Dismantling the Refrigerator

The first thing I needed to do was remove my old kitchen appliances, specifically the refrigerator and the gas stove. The fridge had to go. It was old. Ice would build up in the rear wall and during warm weather it would melt and form a puddle on the floor.

The coop regulation required that I arrange with the munipality waste removal to pick up the fridge. I also needed to make a $500 deposit with the business office in case any damage was done to the building while it was being moved out. I decided that I didn’t need to be giving anyone $500, even if I was going to get it back.

So I decided to take apart the fridge using a screwdriver, hammer, crowbar, and the metal grinder. I disposed of it in many smaller pieces.
