Episode 11 – The Freezer that Froze My Turf..

Because turf wars take many forms… even frostbite.

You would think replacing a freezer wouldn’t trigger a turf war…. but at Faurel Hill, even appliances get weaponized!

There’s something particularly surreal about living at Faurel Hill. One minute you’re replacing an old freezer with a spare your dad thoughtfully left behind and the next… it’s been weaponized into Turf Wars.

After dragging the freezer into the shed with a friend (no easy task, by the way), we left it safely tucked near some farm equipment. It was meant to be a temporary setup until I could move it properly. But apparently, temporary is a trigger word at Faurel Hill.

A few days later, (now this was back in March while I was waiting on a turf delivery) I arrived home to discover the freezer had mysteriously migrated – straight in front of my turf. Was it sabotage or just bad Feng-Shui?

Yes, my actual fuel supply had been strategically frozen out. And how did it get there? No surprise: the mighty tractor had clearly been enlisted for this mission. There it stood, like a giant white block of passive-aggressive energy, silently mocking my attempts to stay warm. ‘At least I know my turf is best served chilled.’

Who knew household appliances could double as turf barricades? Some people have security systems. I have a freezer sentry.

You’ve got to laugh, right? Because if you don’t, you’ll cry – and not just from the cold. Stay tuned for the next thrilling installment in ‘Under the Will, Over the Drama’… I’ve got a funny feeling this turf saga isn’t over yet.
