Well much excitement here on Saturday, putting in the new fridge. Getting it through the door easily should have been our clue. It is taller than the old one and a bit narrower. As it is screwed in to keep it from falling out, when we are traveling, something had to be done. Eddie cut out under the cupboard above the gap to make it fit there and then we got some wood to fill in the gap. (Good old Mitre 10) Of course we had to get 2 lengths for each side as 1 wasn't wide enough, but 2 was too wide, so he had to buzz one down got them glued together and all seemed to be well. We are lucky that Jim has all the things in his shed, so we can do this stuff. Eddie measured again and yes all is well. We pushed it in to the gap and it got about half way and stopped. The right side had a slight bow in it that we couldn't tell by looking, so out it all came and a bit more buzzed off the wood and all was well. As you can imagine, there was a lot of wailing and teeth gnashing. As it is narrower, the door shelves don't hold as much, but it is deeper, so it balances out.
The door is black, so it shows all the marks. Sigh.
This one has screw holes inside the fridge with little covers to go over the screws so you can't see them. The old one had the screws on the outside and we were a mystified where to put them to start with.
I went for a walk with the tramping club Sunday. We went into Hamilton and walked from the gardens, down one side of the river and back again. We had lunch at the gardens café when we got back. It was a nice day out and good to catch up with old friends again.
