The service data sheet that came with the 10-year-old Hotpoint (GE) 18-cubic-foot top-mount no-frost in my house says that with the freezer knob at 5 (on a scale of 1 to 9) and the fresh-food knob (if equipped) at C, which is also the middle, you should have:70 F ambient: Fresh food 33-39 F, freezer -4 to +2 F, percent run time 26 to 36%90 F ambient: Fresh food 33-41 F, freezer -4 to +4 F, percent run time 40 to 56%The service data sheet that came with my 3-year-old Frigidaire (Electrolux) 18-cubic-foot top-mount no-frost at my rental says that with no load, the doors closed, and the controls set in the middle, you should have:65 F ambient: Fresh food 35-40 F, freezer +2 to +8 F, percent run time 25% to 35%90 F ambient: Fresh food 35-40 F, freezer 0 to +5 F, percent run time 45 to 55%Another rule of thumb I have heard is that if you have a box/tub of ice cream in the freezer, it should be soft enough that you can scoop it - not a solid block but not runny either.Like @Jennifer Rysdam and @Joe Splitrock said, cleaning the coils can help. 

Icing on the cake I suppose.Best Regards!

Tenants do not want to deal with defrosting their windshield and removing ice and snow every storm.

And to top off the pet thing there’s a dog park at Horner and an ice rink and park for the family.

Manassas took a bit hit because of ice's crackdown on illegal immigrants.

Enjoy the ice cream and look for a new lender. 

What's the best flavor of ice cream? 

Originally posted by @Robyn Henderson:A strategy that I would be comfortable in is pull 1 mil HELOC and buy 2 or 3 triplex or quads in the up and coming area of the Bronx or E.N.Y Brooklyn which go on the mls for about 750k- 1mil putting 20% down on each which would leave me with equity in the cobble hill building and money in the HELOC as just in case money...And with a small cash flow from the new builds after paying the HELOC and the icing would be the appreciation the area's are experiencing ...

This would just be icing on the cake.

Then it expands, and of course ice is very powerful, and in the case of a hollow basement lined with blocks with thousands of mortar joints (as opposed to a poured wall or very thick wall) the blocks give way.
