HOT HOT HOT!!!
When we got our air conditioner I was wondering if we would have a cooler summer, we didn't. And we are entering our warmer months in September and October. Today was one of the warmer days and it was super muggy with monsoon moisture in the air. We didn't get any rain here but the mountains did.

New Fridge and Dishwasher
Last Saturday we finally had our new Liebherr Refrigerator and Bosch Dishwasher delivered (we now have the axis powers in our kitchen, German fridge and dishwasher and Italian range). We were promised to have the fridge in 2 weeks, but it actually took 6. I wasn't real happy about the whole experience. But finally, delivery day!!!!
AAANNNNDDD it didn't fit. So I had to take out the trim on the right side. No big loss but now I also had to finish the wall as well as the space above the fridge.
One of the biggest anticipations was that I finally got an ice maker. I have lived the last 5 years with making ice with 1 ice tray each night. I know, right?!? But alas, I had to wait one more week to install the water line. This weekend I did and it was quite the adventure.
Installing the line wasn't that bad. The hard part was pulling the fridge out. You see, we could not get any old run of the mill fridge. No, we had to get an abnormal one, that is 78" tall and hard as hell to move. I had to use a crow bar to lift it up in front to raise the front feet and lower it enough so that the wheels could reach the ground. But I think that is actually impossible. We finally used furniture movers. Oh, and did I tell you that we only have like a 1/2 inch on each side? Oh, did I also say that this fridge is so tall that we had to rip out the top cabinet? Oh, did I tell you I had to finish the space above the fridge now?
It took one hour to pull the fridge out. Yes that is 1 hour, 60 minutes, 3,600 seconds. It took a while. And a day to finish the wall and paint.
But now I have ICE!!!
