IM IN UR KITCHEN, COOLIN UR FOODZ.

After nearly four months of waiting, the last appliance has finally made its appearance. After last week's fiasco, with the two deliver men deeming themselves insufficient, this week they sent ... two delivery men. Plus a risk assessor. After much umming, ah-ing and measuring, they decided that it just might be possible (but that the four man team wouldn't have helped because there's no way that more than two guys would be able to get at the thing whilst lifting it up the stairs). After removing the fridge doors and my front door handle, the proper application of brute force seemed to do the trick, and the last hole in my kitchen is finally filled. Final risk assessment - this shows what can be done - but also what really shouldn't be attempted...

*bounces around the flat*

It is indeed the fridge of d00m. Mujah!

I don't know about that. I did have to wait four months for the bloody thing!

Hee!

I have no idea what you mean.

Soon there will be cold diet coke! There will even be ice on tap! *winz*

YA, RLY.

As an added bonus, the fridge's arrival meant that I could move a whole load of stuff out of the spare room, so you'll get to sleep in your pink princess bed instead of on the sofa!

It's the thing from 2001!!!

Yay for having your shiny fridge.
Absolutely! Hence my choice of music.

So much yay. After four months of waiting for it (not to mention wondering whether it would get through the door - and it nearly didn't), it really has made me a much happier person.
But… it's black!

All fridges should be silver. :-)
Yes, but silver wouldn't have gone with my colour scheme. Also, would have cost more (as for silver, read stainless steel). Besides, it amuses me to have all my "white goods" in black (well, except for the washer-dryer, but that's hidden behind a door).
OH. MY. GOD.

*covets shamelessly*

Only left the US a week ago tomorrow, and already I am experiencing serious ice-in-my-coca-cola withdrawal.
Hee! But seriously, when I was designing the new kitchen, the number one thing at the top of my list was "One of those big American-style fridge/freezers with an ice dispenser in the door". Admittedly, I really had no concept of just how huge it really is. The contents of my half-full old freezer (a bag of ice and eight tubs of Ben & Jerry's) look rather lost, and the fridge side is even more ridiculous (especially given that I've been using a dinky little drinks chiller for the past few months). On the plus side, now my diet coke will be cold even before I put the ice in, which is definitely an improvement!
It's winter, and you are in the Frozen North, and you want ice in your Coke?
ALWAYS.
