Are the freezer dimension the inside of the freezer? If so, you have 30,750 cu in of freezer space. Each box is 171.53 cu in, so 100 of them would be 1715m cu in which is 55% of your freezer. So you ought to be fine. Want me to optimize your packing plan? That will take longer.

I've never had my water turned off, but given I've had pretty much everything else at one point or another I'm sure it was an oversight.

But I was at Costco a while ago and on impulse signed up for water delivery for the WI house. (We have well water there. Which is ok but kind of metallic and not that great tasting.)

OMG. It is WONDERFUL. Ice cold delicious water in one of those office coolers but also steaming hot water at at the ready. I really want one for home in Chicago even though I have no justification or space. Seriously I am so in love. And the Costco price ($1 month for the machine and $6 per 5 gallon bottle) is not bad. The guy comes by every two weeks and drops off/picks up.

Wow, that's very affordable!

I do not have a good segue, but I want to tell y'all - my department pooled some of our charitable funds to "adopt" a family for Xmas, so now we have 4 kids to spend $70 each on. One of them is a 9 year old girl who"loves dolls and science" and I so want to get her everything! I haven't volunteered to shop for her because I honestly don't know when I could do it.

Because books.

-t, thank you! Those are the inside dimensions of the freezer. And yay! I was worried about space. (And terrified of doing the math.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I probably got a notice, but not one on my door, like I have before. Whatever. I'll go there at 8 and pay. I bought 11 gallons of water.

You should be able to stack 12 boxes ( tight) per tower. ( 61.5/ 5.125) I haven't done a diagram, but you should be able to get in 3x4 towers, barring obstructions. (25/7.875, round down to 3, 20/4.25, round down to 4.) That tops to 144 boxes, so even with rounded edges, you should be able to make it work.

I have a DMV appointment tomorrow afternoon to get a California license. I know I have all the paperwork, but now I'm wondering how much I should study for the written test.

At least look over the pamphlet a few times, shrift.

I am full. Possibly too full.

For real though, we cannot stop going on and on about the water cooler. It's really totally unnecessary and so so awesome.

We are drinking a ton of water so, um, health?

Well, I've already taken all 5 practice tests. I just don't wanna read the entire handbook.
