Alternate Appliance Use?

[Mortblanc]

Let us say you are in place in BOL or long term bug in situation.

The power is off and will stay off for an indefinite period.

You have a huge big stove and refrigerator sitting in the kitchen that are totally useless. Possibly water heaters and other appliances that will be of no use for many years if ever again.

What alternate uses do you put them too?

As I have watched my area go from preindustrial to mechanized I have seen good farm equipment turned into mailbox posts and yard ornaments, perfectly good cast iron kettles used as flower pots and even wringer washing machines turned into planters.

We will not even mention the water powered gristmills turned into "bed and breakfast inns"!

So how will our modern equipage fare in it's alternate uses.
