 Well the new fridge is in. Not without some challenges though. It almost didn't happen. Why? Because the people who put our kitchen cabinets in were idiots. Yep. Idiots. First check this out:

Tada. Now, look closely at the upper right hand corner. Do you see the gap between the cabinets? That's integral to our story today.

The fridge gets here around 11. They come in to examine the red one to move it down. They start throwing a fit because they don't think it's going to fit through the door opening. I say bs but let it slide because the next thing he tells me is the new fridge won't fit in the opening. The red fridge is 35 1/2" in width. The opening is 36". He says the new fridge even though it's listed at 35 3/4" he knows that from experience they don't allow for swelling or side paneling and it's really more like 36 1/8" and no way it's going in there. On that I believe him So we end up deciding to rip out the cabinet on the side. We reschedule installation until I can rip that cabinet out. AND I get him to agree the red fridge will fit *if* I take the doors off. Fair enough on that. They bring the new fridge in and place it in the corner of the dining room. 

B immediately calls her dad. He comes over prepared to rip out a cabinet. He starts unscrewing and says hey, there's a piece of filler here on the edge next to the wall. WTF? Turns out they didn't get the cabinets quite aligned right so they stuck a piece of filler wood at the end next to the wall. Guess how big the filler piece is? Wait for it...

2 inches. He yanks out the filler, moves the tall cabinet over, and now our opening is 38". Boom. Fridge slides in like a fucking glove. I hookup the water line, we have water coming out the door, done. Him and I then take the doors off the old fridge. I call them back and they were like wow, you did that fast. Yes bitch I did. I don't want a fridge in my dining room. They will be coming back next Monday to finish the job. 

In between all that, I managed to record some stuff, have a meeting with my boss, and get all the garbage out. I ran out of spoons around 7:30pm. Just done. Made dinner, watched tv, went to bed. Side note - I woke up at 5:09am this morning. TWO minutes before my alarm went off. That is, if I had set one. I totally forgot to set my alarm. Talk about good juju. 

Today is more recording. Basically that's my whole week. Record, record, record. Six days until I leave.
