The ice machine is WORKING.
In the “new” kitchen—new to us, but definitely not objectively new—there was no hose or other water access for the fridge to use for ice. It’s not that far from the sink, so running a hose wouldn’t be THAT big of a deal, but still…
We’d asked some plumbers for quotes to do it. The bids we got back were insane. One was $300. To run a hose. And add a fitting to the valve under the sink. So, we were like “eff that, let’s do it ourselves.”
Today, we did. Liz found the fitting a couple weeks ago and got us the drill bits we’d need to make the necessary holes…and then today I made the holes (tricky, since they ran through a cabinet with drawers, and I didn’t want to impede them and/or mess up their tracks), I added the fitting underneath the sink (and thank LORD everything fit! Way to go bear!), I ran and connected the hose to each end…and then we turned on the ice machine and crossed our fingers…
It worked! We have ice 🙂
Warriors won. Thank lawd. Need to win again on Monday, and I think we have an excellent chance of winning the series and moving on to the Conference Finals. Crossing my fingers and toes.
Even set up the DJ controller and played for a little bit. Some deep house. Digweed-style. Love that shit.
Now…sleep.
