Well, one thing's gone wrong already

[dorchadas]

Got the checklist for the new appliances and it included "measure the spaces and make sure they fit," so I did. sashagee had measured before and assured me they fit, and she was right, but she hadn't been that careful about the depths. The new microwave would stick out two inches from where the old one was and the fridge was even more so--34 inches deep, compared to our current 28-inch fridge which already sticks out from the counter.

But that made me suspicious. I went back and checked the doorframe on the back door and...33 inches. Even if we take the door off, the fridge won't fit through.

So, no appliance delivery today. Back to looking.

Oh dear. Much sympathy

I empathise. I have had to learn over the years and after some mistakes that depth and width often matter more than height, but not always :)
