Today was a day off, and I got almost two days of for the price of one. Helen's parents picked us up from the build site yesterday after helping out for a few hours. The four of us headed up to the ranch for a light dinner and a night in a real bed.
The next morning, we slept in. Helen read a book while I worked on the broken refrigerator. After taking the whole thing apart, defrosting everything, and checking the defrost timer, I found infinite resistance across the heater coils. Infinite resistance means no heat.
I looked for a local replacement, but failing that ordered a new one online. Until it's installed, we can defrost the thing by hand.
Helen's cousin Micah came over for a while in the afternoon. We hung out with the horses and chatted amongst ourselves for a while.
All in all, a very good day.
