Very nice fridge !!! I thought they where standard size when mine was delivered it was to tall to fix in the builtin cabinets. had to return and get another I didnt like as much.

no word on exact delivery date on the range the best i can see see it's going to be after the 1st... i went looked up lowes/ home depot stores all across the usa same thing...backordered even induction ranges....

best i can figure out is ....your president pisssed off china with his tariff, so they placed all ranges on the slowest boat possible, knowing darn well we need a new range....thank you comrade trump...

on to happier news.. we will be having a carpet company install the carpet and vinyl, they were 500 over budget but we said enough is enough we are tired of waiting, so 1/3/19 the carpet will be installed, and then the vinyl will be put down after the kitchen get sheetrock paint and upper cabinets are finished. then the vinyl goes down and the lower cabinets and countertops....... so things are slowly moving along.....

everyone wants new stuff for Christmas, plus they often run sales which makes it more likely they'll be out of stock.

when we ordered new fridge it was coming from Korea and hadn't even been made yet. came via container ship to western port and then had to be shipped across country. was worth the wait as it was exactly what Mom wanted (white fridge, big size, no crud in the doors and no handles). best thing of all, it's a lot more quiet than the old one. we love it... for $750.

I wanted exact same fridge white with nothing on doors. You would think that there would be plenty to choose from.

just a few when we looked. ours was from LG and not in stock so we hadda wait for them to make it and ship it. we've never liked split skinny door type. only wanted freezer on top kind. since we don't have room for a chest freezer we need enough freezer space. first thing we did was take out the ice maker. more trouble with those and the water lines than is ever worth it (i hate the taste of ice from freezers if it has any hint of that freezer burn smell to it - which is actually a lot of it comes from the cardboard boxes of things put in the freezer...). for as little ice as we use we just make it in trays when we need it.
