YouTube for the win


It’s a silly thing, but worth noting so that later in life I can remember where the time went. What you are looking at here is the bottom shelf of my fridge, that I successfully disassembled and cleaned after a jar of freezer ham spilled and seeped under the edge between the plastic and the glass on that white strip down the middle.  This is the second time in as many months that I have had to remove the shelf and MacGyver precariously remove tiny plastic clips and prongs with screwdrivers and delicate force without breaking the glass. The last time, it was raw chicken juice from a thawing bag that leaked. Gross.  How is there no better way to clean out this segment? Or how is it not sealed so that inevitable fridge spills cannot get trapped in there? Either way, after watching a YouTube tutorial (it’s not in the manual btw...do they not expect anyone to need to clean out their fridge?) I figured out how to remove the lock for the shelf, clean that, and then remove the clips and glass, clean the glass, and reinstall. 

It’s more difficult than it looks and if I accomplish nothing else I will still feel like I won the day.

Well done, Meg, Builder of Farm Tables, Broods, and Gardens!

Youtube has helped me fix so many things. What did we do before it?
