New Icebox-- problems

[pigman]

The wife talked me into getting her a new icebox. The old one was working perfect but was getting a little rusty in spots. :(  I took the old one to the dump and lucky me, there was someone there disposing of a perfect good icebox 8). There was no rust on the thing and the guy said it was working perfect and he was getting rid of it only because his wife wanted a different color. :  I brought the thing home, put it in the place where we kept the old icebox and filled the top with two blocks of ice. Then the problems started.   The ice melted and water leaked out of the bottom of the door. I don't see how this thing could of ever worked, there is no drain hole in the bottom to let the water drain out. Good thing the porch has cracks in it.
Since I don't have any instructions for this modern icebox, I am not sure I am putting the ice in the right place.

  Bob,
Iv'e seen a lot of the newer ones like that and they all had the ice in top.So,I'msure you put the ice in the right location,must be a bad ice box.
 When the ice man comes around again you better stock up.

Guys, the ice goes around the beer keg....forget the ice box!

[Norm]

Bill is right they forgot to put some holes in it to drain properly. Stand it next to your silo and I'll be right over. :D

[Kevin_H.]

now that is funny.    :D

[Jeff]

That's just like the one we used to raise crawlers in. Man, dont put holes in it the crawlers 'll crawl out.

[Jeff]

Pigman, how about moving that thing to the lfet so we can get a look at the washin machine eh?

[sawguy21]

Plug the little black thingy into the spot in the wall and you can use it to make ice ;D

[joelmar10]

I thought the black cord thingy was fer openin them drain holes.

[tlooney]

I like Patty's idea you put the ice around the keg. ;D

[pigman]

Plug the little black thingy into the spot in the wall and you can use it to make ice ;D

I tied that black thingy to the porch post so the icebox will not roll off the porch. The thing has wheels.   Why would an icebox need wheels?

It works better when you lay it on its back. 8)

I thought of that, but if I lay it down it won't be on it's back, it would be on it's bottom. That means it is setting on it's end now. I am getting all confused.
I am going back to the dump and see if my old icebox is still there.

[Mooseherder]

Your Old Ice Box is now someone elses new Ice Box.
They couldn't believe someone left it at the dump. ;D

[gary]

I wonder if they found agrease gun right next to it?

[Mooseherder]

Gary, The grease gun went back to where it came from tonight. :D

[pigman]

Thanks everyone for their help with my problem with what I thought was an icebox. :-[  Well, I went and took a  closer look at that box or whatever it is and came to the conclusion that I have some sort of stove.  Right at the top there is a name " Hotpoint". With a name like that it must be some sort of stove. Now I have a new question for the members of S O K I A.  Where does a person build a fire in that thing. In the stove we now have we build the fire in the bottom and bake in the top part. The bottom of this thing does not have a flue hole   These modern thinges sure get me confused.

[sawdust]

Yall missed the insructions, this is a modern ice box! That black cord thingy at the back is the pull start.
Giver a yank.
