Refrigerator saga - part 4

As I indicated in previous posts, after moving into the "new" park model, we weren't real pleased with the refrigerator that was already in there (a side-by-side model). We swapped it out for a new French door model and are happy with that in our home. We had partially justified this swap by knowing that the refrigerator in the casa was older and did not seal well, so we could upgrade the refrigerator in the casa by moving the side-by-side one to the casa. We waited until the tenants moved out, and then our friend, Ervin, helped us move the side-by-side refrigerator to the casa. 

Before installing the side-by-side refrigerator into the space in the casa, we wanted to run a water line so the built-in water dispenser and ice maker would work.

The kitchen sink is on the opposite side of the house (and where we want to hook into the water supply), so we need to run the water line under the casa -- this is the opening under the kitchen sink. We eventually got the water line fished across.

Carl still needed to hook the water line up to the water under the sink.

The water worked well through the dispenser and the refrigerator seemed to be cooling well. It is a bigger unit than the one that was there, but I think it is probably a better refrigerator. Carl will put a water filter in under the kitchen sink before the next tenant arrives.
