Week 30: Slicking Sammy

You can’t grease a fridge to squeeze it through small spaces. We tried. At the Sears Outlet, we found the perfect fridge. It’s a stainless steel beauty with French doors, and pull-out freezer, and tall shelves, and Humidity controllers, and a plethora of buttons. This Samsung model (nicknamed “Sammy”) was slightly too wide for our archaic door frame. With no other way to invite the appliance in, we stored it in our neighbors’ garage. Millwork Outlet provided a lovely new door, and Clint cut a larger opening for it.

So, a week later, we brought steely Sammy home and slid him beautifully through our new front entrance. Theoretically, this fridge should’ve fit in its kitchen opening. But there’s a funny thing called “clearance” that French doors require to open. We’re now contemplating a hatch-back variety. Or perhaps we’ll try slicking Sammy once more.
