/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Get an old surplus gas mask. I've done a lot of hellish amateur taxidermy, trust me.

>>2010641
Why do you need to clean it out if you're just going to toss it. Tape it shut and lug it over to the dump.

>>2010641
Use a mask bigot.

>>2010648
I tried that and even with a really strong pro friend it's too fuckin heavy. Also the dump will not take it if it has food in it.

>>2010650
I've used two cloth masks and vaporub cotton stuffed up my nose it did nothing

>>2010644
Thanks,will prob do this. Think it's a better idea than a new hazmat mask off amazon ?

>>2010644
>I've done a lot of hellish amateur taxidermy, trust me
sauce?

>>2010652
>the dump will not take it
Drop it off in the ghetto by having it slide off of the back of your truck.

>>2010652
I'm not the anon you were asking but, the surplus masks tend to have a tighter better fit in my experience than cheap half mask respirators....

You'd probably have decent luck with either though; an organic vapor half mask respirator, even a cheap one, works wonders for this kind of stuff.
Good luck

>>2010652
Pay a mover, I can’t imagine the $100 is worth dealing with the god awful smell

>>2010641
Can you freeze the contents? That should reduce it a lot.

>>2010704
I did. The fridge is so fuckin heavy we can't get it moved even with people and we can't dump it without it being empty. Throwing it in the ghetto is funny but too risky for a person with a business to get in trouble for.

>>2010729
It's broken but I was considering adding ice to see if I could freeze it back. Prob not and I think it would add more water to the equation which is a whole other issue to get rid of.

>>2010734
>considering adding ice
Not regular ice. Dry ice may do it though.

>>2010641
Just pay a couple college kids $50 to empty it out.

>>2010734
>its broken
whats actually up with it - just a fuse or someshit maybe repairing / refreezing is the least evil here. That, or throw in a few rats. Let them out again after the munching noises stop, or throw in a cat, etc.

>>2010641
not this pasta again.

>>2010641
There's only 1 solution

>>2010641
Dig a bunker and drop it in there with the imitation crab meat

>>2010641
>I've got a massive metal freezer of rotting food I need to clean out sitting in my basement
why did you let it get that far?
disgusting slob
>Any advice on how to clean this fucker out so we can toss it
sure, just take a systematic approach:
*have a place where you can put the spoiled food
*consider sealing the stuff air tight before putting it anywhere
*you will need protective gear (gloves, shoes and something for your face)
*whatever you have on your face needs to protect you from possible bacteria and stuff that grows on spoiled food
*also something for the smell to prevent you from throwing up, you can put anything on you that also has a strong smell and masks it or just use something that knocks out you sense of smell for some time
*alternatively be less of a bitch pussy, grow a pair, gulp down your prissy attitude and embrace the sweet and heavy stench of rotten matter
i believe in you OP, also document your journey with imagery

>>2010641
Seal it and throw away the freezer and the food.

>>2010641
Call hazmat guys lmao

>>2010734
>but I was considering adding ice to see if I could freeze it back. P
It is winter. Just put it outside.

>>2011938
>The fridge is so fuckin heavy we can't get it moved even with people

need to see pic of open freezer

>>2010652
>I've used two cloth masks and vaporub cotton stuffed up my nose it did nothing
Because that doesn't remove organic vapors (or most viral particles, FYI). A gas mask uses activated carbon to scrub out most airborne chemicals that you wouldn't want to breathe. Industrial chemical filter cartridges (https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60926-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B009POHLRC)) do the same thing. Those go in a half- or full-face respirator with bayonet connections.

Stop being a fucking pussy.

Update: I plugged in the freezer and it seems to be able to just maybe freeze everything. I'm gonna go buy some ice tomorrow and order a gas mask on amazon tonight.

>>2012321
here you go

>>2012410
I'm getting fridge bro vibes from looking at that stuff inside

>>2012410
>Not a dead hooker
OP I am disappoint

>>2010641
You are a pussy. Imagine what it's like when a groundhog dies in your crawl space and you have to worm your way up under there to pull out it's bloated corpse in the middle of summer.

>>2010641
>get ziploc bags
>get vinyl gloves
>hold breath
>go to freezer and open it
>fill up a bag
>close bag
>close freezer
>repeat until everything is bagged up
If not breathing is too hard for you then slowly slowly exhale through your nose instead. It'll take a while but it's cheaper than a gas mask and really you probably want this shit sealed away better than a garbage bag can manage anyway. Plus if you're not loading up a whole garbage bag you have less to carry at once, and with a lighter load there's less risk of a bag getting open somehow.

>>2010641
stop being a pussy and clean it out before it makes your whole house reek

>>2010641
Buy one of those UV lights for water bottles and toss it in there like a grenade. Go by the estimated max on time for a single charge for when to open it again.

>>2012410

Freezer broke. Fix by plugging in. Damn son.

>>2010641
Get covid so you lose your smell and taste

Ratchet strap furniture dollies to it so you can move it easier. Roll the bitch outside. Use come along to get it upstairs if needed. Once outside open it walk away for awhile. Drink a beer smoke doobie. Wear hazmat and respirator. Clean it out. Use insane amounts of bleach and garden hose. Leave open to dry. Repeat cleanings till its no longer fucked all the way up.

>>2013469

It already reeks, OP is just too used to it to notice.

>>2010641
tape the nozzle down on this and throw it in there. It's made of lemon and ozone

>>2010641
get leverage and put it on rollers, get a truck near the closest door/window and pull that bitch outside, fix the wall/door after.

Once it's outside open it up and pour gasoline in it, and then light it up so that cleansing flames can do the job you should've done when it died.

Protip: The seals on those aren't perfectly air tight, it's smelling up you and your house, you just don't notice because you're used to it.

>>2010641
I swear to god I saw this exact thread several months ago with that same OP pic.

>>2010966
Lol this sounds like a situation that ends up on ChubbyEmu's YouTube

>>2010973
Thats the answer. My mate does fucked up clean ups. He charges people a shit load then goes to the backpackers or uni and grabs a bunch of kids to do it cheap as fuck.

>>2013587
Had a similar problem because of a blackout. Noticed it before it got that bad though. Fridge is beyond repair. It will smell forever.
Perhaps if you disassemble it and clean all the grooves and ventilation system. Doubt it.

>>2010661
>trust me
Classic case of "Trust me bro"

Buy a chink 3M 6800 clone and real 3M A2P3 filters.
Or buy the 3M 6200 half mask, same filters and swimming googles.

Burning a chest freezer full of rotten food in the from yard...

>>2010641
What a nightmare.

>>2010641
apnea technique.
prepare a heavy duty bag that you can close tight. with a clamp.
hyperventilate.
take a deep breath and hold it.
close in slowly. open the trunk.
put food inside plastic bag.
close the trunk.
clamp plastic bag.
get out and breathe again.
rinse and repeat.
depending on your physical condition you should have at least 20 secs of useful work per cycle. do part of the work sitting so you can cut oxygen consumption from your legs from standing.

You're moving it wrong. A dolly (easy to make) or large PVC pipe rollers (like 4" OD) and a rope winch plus some 4x4s beneath would be my first choice. Use those to get it to the base of your stairway then place 4x4s on the stairs to winch it upwards. Anchor other end of rope winch however far out you need do.
I use a Maasdam because it doesn't store rope on the drum.

Tie it shut. Hump it to your door step. Write "For Sale, $50" on it in big letters. It will be stolen almost immediately.

bleach is a 100% solution to odor problems. hose some in and let it work for an hour. bleach molecules will fly around attaching themselves to anything that's smelly and neutralizing it.

>>2010641
As soon as you open the lid, the smell will expand rapidly to every area of the room and house. You will notice it. The same will be true if you carry shit out - it doesn’t matter if you put it in garbage bags or whatever.
The reality, op, is that your entire house will smell like a homeless person's rotting corpse for a day or two after you do this.
So, unless you can get it out all at once with the lid shut, I suggest booking a hotel room for a couple nights to escape the smell.

>>2012321
open freezer? more like open bob

leave it open and air it out overnight. this may backfire and make the whole place smell like rotten fridge forever. can you leave windows open and fan on?

or maybe just air it out for 20 minutes before approaching it?

>>2013629
i like this one
record video

OP here my mask and filters arrived yesterday. Gonna skip breakfast and do my best tommorrow. It's also not refrozen but it has gotten slightly cold so ok.jpg. If this doesn't work I'll do >>2016443 this and bleach the fuck outta it and try again.
