We got the old fridge out on Sunday morning. It came out of its gap easily enough, but getting out the door was quite another matter. The fridge was about 4 mm too big to go through. In the end Eddie had to take the door frame off. We think they must put the fridge in place before they make the door. In the afternoon we took the old one too the dump and got rid of it. We were using a couple of little electric fridges that are like chilly bins.
The new one was in the shed, but Eddie has been late home 3 nights in a row and too tired to be bothered getting it in. He was home at a reasonable last night, so we got it in. It is a lot lighter than the old one, so that was a bonus. It went through the door ok, but it was too tall for the gap! It is supposed to be a replacement for the old one. Eddie was able to trim off a bit of the cupboard above it. It is also narrower, so there is a gap at the side where it is supposed to be sealed against the side of the hole made for it. Some more work is required.
It has a nice black, metal door, so now I can use magnets on it for the first time in 4 years. I have been using blutack to put things on the fridge up until now. The black might be hard to keep clean.
