well, we finished the fridge installation today. got luck and there was one fridge in western canada that fit. a kitchenaid side by side.

we had to add length to the plaform it sits on and make new wood braces on the top that the fridge shims up against. i took out the solenoid that locks the door because it wouldnt work with the new fridge. this fridge has a exposed door handles so we will just velcro them together when we travel. not as elegant as the solenoid, but only thing we can do.

it took us much longer than we expected, but it is a first rate job. mannn those fridges are expensive.

i have a bunch of pictures i will post later on it. i was concerned about getting the old fridge out and the new one in the coach with the air door and spiral staircase, but it wasnt bad with 5 of us. had to take off the threshold and the side trim for the air door and there was probably an inch on each side when lifting the fridge in and out. had to take the doors and hinges off to do it.

many thanks to clarke and forest. they are gentlemen, scholars and all around good buddies.
