Doing a conservative renovation in my kitchen and one thing I'd like to do

is move my refrigerator but it has it's water line already hooked up to

it. I just want to push it down about 5 feet - would that be terribly

difficult? I assume the water line is running through the wall that's

behind the unit and behind where I want it to go - you think? Thanks for

any advice.



I missed the part about how expensive but it's your fault for not

putting everything you wanted to say in the body of the post.



Would you write a paper for school, including grad school, and put part

of it only on the title page, or would you include it in the paper?



Anyhow, we're talking at most 15 minutes, so if you cant' do this

yourself, I'd wait until I had other chores for a handyman or plumber to

do.

IDK how you can say it's 15 mins when she says she thinks
the tubing runs in the wall. If it's just move it over 5ft
and the pipe extension will be hidden, then it's an easy
job and could be 15 mins, assuming you have the needed
materials, etc. If it required re-routing the pipe in the wall, then
it could be a lot more involved, eg holes in the wall, patching,
painting, etc. And if there is a basement underneath, where
the pipe can be re-routed, then it's somewhere in between,
but not a 15 min job either.



Surely you can find the valve for the icemaker, turn it off,

disconnect the line from the fridge, and do without automatic ice until

you have some other chores for him to do. Otherwise a plumber will

charge you his minimum house call, which might be an hour of his work or

more.

This is also a job that a good handyman could do. Especially
if it involved holes, patching, painting, etc.
