other times it\u2019s smart to throw out the old and bring in something new.<\/p>\n<p>The Limetree Labs Experience is always fresh.\u00a0 How does your fridge smell?<\/p>\n<p><img data-opt-id=1447585115  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-65\" src=\"https:\/\/mlqqfyvmtktq.i.optimole.com\/w:689\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Blog-Post-Pin-Image-Template-689x1024.png\" alt=\"Fresh IT\" width=\"689\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlqqfyvmtktq.i.optimole.com\/w:689\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Blog-Post-Pin-Image-Template.png 689w, https:\/\/mlqqfyvmtktq.i.optimole.com\/w:202\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Blog-Post-Pin-Image-Template.png 202w, https:\/\/mlqqfyvmtktq.i.optimole.com\/w:726\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Blog-Post-Pin-Image-Template.png 768w, https:\/\/mlqqfyvmtktq.i.optimole.com\/w:726\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Blog-Post-Pin-Image-Template.png 1144w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My wife and I recently visited the beautiful country of Ireland.\u00a0 We went on a \u201ccottage tour\u201d, which is a semi-fancy way to say:\u00a0 we went and looked at old houses.\u00a0 The average country cottage in Ireland is over 200 years old.\u00a0 They are nearly universally made of stone with thatched roofs and are loaded [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,4,5,6,8,9],"class_list":{"0":"post-62","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-limetree-labs-experience","7":"tag-boise","8":"tag-it","9":"tag-it-director","10":"tag-keep-it-fresh","11":"tag-meridian","12":"tag-treasure-valley","13":"entry","14":"has-post-thumbnail"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67,"href":"https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62\/revisions\/67"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.limetreelabs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
