Annoying Factoid
To those who haven't yet chosen a house model, here's something I just discovered about my Lantana: it will not accept a full size refrigerator. The widest replacement we could find that would fit the opening is 33" and there are just four of those on the market that have ice and water through the door. Very slim pickings.
The opening is 35" and the water line and baseboard protrude into that space by about 3/4 inch. A standard refrigerator is 36" and larger.
We'd like a normal refrigerator so we might have to hire someone to take out the baseboard and tear open the pantry wall to expose the water supply line and move it. Even then we'd be limited to a 36" refrigerator but that gives us a lot of refrigerators to choose from and that 3" makes a big difference. A second refrigerator in the garage is out of the question.
If anyone else has had this problem, how did you deal with it? Maybe there's a simpler way.
Thanks
