I’m stealing Franky’s shame
Dave Lemphers blogged about it late last year . . . “Franky’s shame” he called it.
A great big build up of ice in Franks bar fridge that sits in his office.
Now here in lies the problem. Clearly, he’s not using it for much, so I’m planning on stealing it to put it in the “Love Lounge” that I’m building near my desk.
I have no idea how to defrost it without getting water everywhere. Current suggestions:
- Take it to the bathrooms and let it drain over the weekend
- Go at it with a hammer and chisel
- Unplug it for the weekend and leave a bucket under the block
- Attack it with a hair dryer
Anyone else have any bright suggestions? Currently, option 1 is the forerunner.
Ohh, and Frank, I’m taking your fridge – try not to miss it.

Put some old towels/sponges in the bottom of the fridge.
Boil some water in a jug and pour into a container. Place the container on the shelf in the fridge.
Let the ice melt. Wring the towels/spong out every few hours.
Unplug it from Franks wall on the Friday and come in on the Monday and go “Gee Frank, how’d that happen.. guess you’ll have to organise a cleanup eh!….say since you don’t use that fridge anymore and well its caused you all this pain, i’ll take it off your hands so it won’t happen again”..
LD’s suggestion does the trick. I’ve done it a few times myself (people leaving the fridge door open over a long weekend resulted in something like this)
Once it’d started melting a little from the hot water, we gave some of it a bit of a ‘hurry along’ using old perspex “Achievement” Awards with flat/sharp edges to remove the large outer sections of ice.
You just have to be careful to chip *away* from the freezer walls.
Oh, and be prepared to catch when a giant lump of ice falls down.
Gah, that MossyBlog is evil no :p..
Post a fake MS newsletter saying Frank has won a brand new fridge and get him to move this fridge to your space. That way you don’t have to lift a finger and then you don’t have to worry about defrosting it.
