Judy+ Math = $%^#@

Well i finally talked him into getting a new fridge for the kitchen/livingroom/spare bedroom/ computer area.. we moved the microwave and put it in that spot right beside the sink, he helped me measure and it fits perfect. We even measured the doors to make sure it fit through the openings before buying it.... As you read more you will see his math is better than mine...

So while I went to Lowest to pick up this 130 lb fridge and load it in the truck to bring it home (I did have help from Mr. Lowes-Greeter retiree) well ok not much help, I didn't want the guy to get hurt, I seriously think the fridge weighed more than he did...... So basically I lifted it in the truck myself, Mr Lowes-Greeter retiree did make me strap it down so it 'wouldn't fly out".... It was easier to do it his way then argue with him... So I waited for him to go find string...... and tied it down.

I got it home, found a gaping hole under my counter where the old fridge used to be. Since we bought a bigger fridge than what was in the boat already we now have this space......

Getting the fridge in the boat was a hoot.... it took 3 guys to get it in. (One female picked it up herself at the store and loaded it in the truck, but to get it in the boat, took 3?????)

Since now i have this hole that need something in it, they suggested getting a cabinet thingie to slide in the opening, it actually would of fit perfectly, but the base cabinets have a drawer that messes up everthing, so I opted for shelves so that my stuff can sit on it. So Tom measured and gave it to me and I went back to Lowes.

I found the perfect size shelves, well according to the box..... But didn't take into account that since i wanted to slide the mircowave into a shelf that the inside measurements would be smaller than the outside. So my Microwave is about 1/4 inch too big.... But Lucky for me I did Judy-Math in the store and KNEW it would sit on the top shelf. See I have 35 inches for the opening. My cabinet is 27 inches, My microwave comes up to 13 inches high.... so quick math tells you that it would work on the top shelf. Well at the store when buying it, the math was correct..... Real world - its not working

So the solution to my problem - We're still debating it.... we can

1. Saw the sides off of the shelves, so the microwave can sit on the top shelf, but have less space on the bottom shelf. Ruining the $50 shelves.


2. Buy a new microwave ($80)


3. Leave it as it is... Because being a redhead I did Make it work for me. Actually, I am getting used to the way it looks.

So my simple I need a fridge has turned in to a nightmare, a weekend project, and its still not done..... But I have my microwave on the shelves... Seems that if you turn the shelves on the side, there is enough room for it to sit on the top of the side.... :) Clever chick ain't I? Ok so it may look a little on the redneck side, but for now it works...... Till Tom fixes my boo-boo...

All because I suck at math.
