    Mike, Miguel!!! Use some charcoal in your fridge it absorbs moisture and smells. I bought a freezer people power went out and freezer was fine just had that awful smell after scrubbing it down still wouldn't make the smell after about a week of charcoal in the bottom I noticed a difference about a month later we started putting food into it and honestly I don't even notice it we finally pulled the charcoal after 2 months but we ran freezer with the charcoal in it.

    Growing up we only had the box freezer we also use them in the same similar way. For my upright freezer I had the same problem the door couldn't shut with the trays so the sides were cut down similar to yours but I used a styrofoam sheet in the door I just had to glue it and I still use my grow lights . I think it's funny how things come back around in a new age.

    Sure wish my hubby would listen to me. You spray the foam in, LET IT DRY, then cut it. He sits there smooching it with his fingers which takes all the air out and wonders why it is all sunken in and won't work. Then he works and works at trying to get the stuff off of his fingers. You did a great job.

      @@dEEmARIE- I don’t use much in the way of measurements; when washing fruit and veggies in my sink , (I only have a bathroom sink, by the way) I sprinkle 1-3 tablespoons (depending on how full my sink is) of baking soda then pour from 1- several medium sized splashes of vinegar over the top, then fill the sink with water. For cleaning solution I infuse vinegar with citrus rind for a couple months, then pour into glass jar for keeping. Then fill half a spray bottle with vinegar and half with water (keep in mind that the vinegar can wreck spray nozzles, so I unscrew the nozzle when not using). I also put a cup or two in my laundry as a “fabric softener”. It works way better than any toxic cleaner and it doesn’t hurt my health as the toxic cleaners do.

    My version: paper plate, paper towel, baggie. Write the name of the seeds you will add on the paper plate. Place the paper towel on the plate and dampen it. Sprinkle the seeds over it lightly. Slide into baggie. Choose a warmer place to put them that's away from direct sunlight. Watch daily. Spritz with water if it dries out. Add to garden or pot when they start to sprout AND water often.
