Waaaayyy bigger than my house!
I'm kind of doing the opposite, fridgewise.
I have two freezers in my van. I grow a lot of fruit and vegetables, and during the summer I freeze and preserve things, and utilize the van freezers for overflow. Then I bring a lot of homegrown food south with me in the winter. I garden at my winter place too, and bring stuff north to eat before the summer garden starts producing.
But this past week, I have moved everything out of the van freezers and decommissioned them. If I get really sick, and something happens to the power, I might not be out there checking on them and catch the problem in time. Could be a disgusting moldy mess.
If I'm healthy and end up needing the space this summer, maybe I will get a freezer alarm. but for now, I feel more secure knowing that I don't have to worry about the van freezers.
Don't worry, I have multiple other freezers, all stuffed to the gills now. I keep making soup and freezing it just in case! But the other ones are where I can more easily keep an eye on them.
I'm not that much of a die hard but, As everyone else is looking for eggs or paying big money for them my chickens are making me 2 eggs a day.
I'm still eating off of last summers garden food. I either canned it or froze it in my regular fridge's freezer.
I have quite a bit of deer meat in the freezer but, I'm shocked at how fast that ;and everything else; disappears so quickly when you eat off of it full time and don't replenish it.
I have flour and have considered making sour dough bread but, I'm not brave enough or ambitious enough to try it. I'm extending my bread trips with store bought frozen bread dough that you then unthaw and bake.
Still, I may take my first trip to town in 3 weeks this weekend just to pick up some store bought sliced bread.
