Here is the fridge we used to have…. circa 1995-ish

It wasn’t a bad fridge, totally did it’s job…
Please to notice the space between the top and the sides of said fridge.

Being 15 years old, well, it wasn’t as energy efficient as it once was and well, frankly, it sounded like there was a chicken inside, despite my vacuuming.

Won't someone think of the starving children?!?
So, we made the executive decision that it was time to upgrade.

OM NOM NOM NOM
Oh sweet 25 cubic feet of space, how I adore thee…

Stainless "look" so it won't take fingerprints or dog noses
Notice, if you will, the lack of space between the wall, counter, cabinets and fridge.
”I was more concerned about the height and didn’t really think about the width…”, explained Steve. I’m pretty sure I asked him about width, but at that time, I couldn’t go three hours without a nap, so I’m pretty sure I just trusted him.

Would sir prefer his ice cubed or crushed?
Needles to say, when he got home yesterday, there was a fair amount of sawing, sanding, etc.
“You know, for a new fridge, there’s an awful lot of sawing and hammering going on in here…”
And, to freak out Curly, here’s where 90% of the stuff that WAS on the fridge ended up. The fryer (EWWWWW) is in the cabinets above the fridge, which meant I had to dispose of 10 bottles of where’d-we-get-this-from? liquor

Clumsy girls gotta have access to her pot holders. And menu. And calendar.
