We had a similar kind of fridge on B.H. though -- I think it had a paint-like finish applied to make it look stainless but it was in fact some other kind of metal in disguise. Oh well, we're a stainless steel family now.<br /><br />Your previous owners sound as questionable as ours. The things this guy did to this house, I swear....<br /><br />Bye, Adrianne!

(We too are magnet collectors.) We discovered this miraculous stuff when we replaced the dishwasher in the house in the old hood and I never looked back. I was quite ecstatic when I found out the fridge in the current house is the stainless steel that lets me put magnets on the fridge. :) <br /><br />Then we discovered that the fridge sticks out about 6 inches too far because the previous owners clearly did not account for door hinges when measuring. Now we constantly bang the side of it when we open one cabinet and it is a b*tch to get the produce drawers out to clean them. <br /><br />This is one of many decisions that the previous owners made that I question. Like running plastic tubing from the furnace condenser into the crawl space and not insulating it. That was fun to discover during the last cold snap. ;) adriannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11735637488168744236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480383418556368648.post-85973469407175236942013-12-11T09:30:34.753-08:002013-12-11T09:30:34.753-08:00OK now I'm sad for real.
