Fixing the Icemaker

So after a lengthy battle with home depot that we won't go into for fear of libel charges, I finally got my fridge! A month after it was ordered. When they originally told me 6 days. Anyway...

The fridge got delivered while I was at school I came home to take a look and lo and behold, NO ICEMAKER!! I immediately called and at least this time was treated properly. They ordered and icemaker and would have it installed. So we waited.

Then on Thursday the appliance repair man came to install my icemaker. After getting it all squared away in the freezer he got behind the unit to connect the line. He called me into the room to tell me that the line was bad and would leak because he couldn't get the paint off of the end. and since the line was tiled into the floor my husband would have to tear up the tile and install a new line.

I was not excited about this venture, but I knew we could do it. I called Shaunna to tell her. she said, "Well why don't we hook up the new line to the old one and feed it through the whole in the floor before we tear up tile?"

HELLO! Why didn't Mr. Appliance man think of that?!?! So that was our plan. Shaunna bought some tubing and headed over. She got here and looked at the line and asked, "Are you kidding me?!? Get me a knife! I'll clean the paint off this sucker!! Then she looked at it and said, why don't we cut this line down an inch and add a new fastener?"

I was like, seriously? Are you telling me that this is like TV cable and we can just cut it down and reattach the end piece and the Mr. Appliance guy couldn't figure that one out?!?

So Shaunna did it.

And I found the water valve in the laundry room downstairs, turned it on, and voila!

What my life would cost without Shaunna around!!!?!?!!
