Getting water to the fridge for an ice maker is the easiest part, it's just
a small flexible plastic tube that can be fished throught cabinets if need
be, in fact you don't want to bury it so that it is inaccessable in case it
needs replacement... and the water can be tapped from any cold water pipe,
whichever is nearest, perhaps a bathroom. It's really a job that the
homeowner can do themself, you don't even need any tools, why pay a plumber.
