Here's a funny thing, there is a cabinet between the oven and the
refrigerator, with a countertop of course. Measured Measured
Measured for the new refrigerator, it should fit. Just. It's big.
Suddenly realized the counter extends into the refrigerator opening
by 1 inch. S***, and they are on their way.

Quick, unscrew the countertop, we'll deal with that later. Took
the countertop over to a cabinet making place nearby thinking,
maybe they can cut this countertop for me. Guy took one look,
you want an inch off this side? Yes. Joe!! cut an inch off this
side and don't mess it up!

Zip, he did it. No charge. To this day the countertop just
sits there held on only by it's weight. Never bothered to
reattach it.

Countertops are the one thing I learned about in my remodel,
the guy made a couple mistakes measuring.
