DIY Disaster!

Monday we experienced a slight (major?) problem.  The up side was the refrigerator was delivered.  The down side was when we went to attach the hose from the refrigerator to the wall, it was the wrong size.  The Sears guy said that you could just twist it off, but when Eddie tried, something was broken off from a pipe!!  So we ended up calling Ray's neighbor Rudy, who came on Tuesday morning to install the part.  Once it was installed, the water didn't seem to be working, so Eddie's dad played with it, and at least got the water dispensing from the fridge, but the ice wasn't being made.  AND on Wednesday, the refrigerator/freezer still wasn't cold... So someone should be coming today.


Our ginormous refrigerator

The hole in the wall I chiseled so
 we could get a better view of the
 pipe or whatever was back there.

The piece we were supposed to be able to just twist off...
not so much.  Fail Sears man

Replacement part we bought for the job

Definitely not a DIY job with the soldering...
