67 steps later

As some of you may recall, yesterday I mentioned that our new fridge's manual outlined a 67 step process to change the side on which the fridge's doors were hinged.  Though I was somewhat discouraged by the large number of steps and poor photos/diagrams, I didn't have much choice but to proceed with the re-hinging today.

As some of you might have expected, I decided to capture the experience though the power of time-lapse video.

Of course, though the process is pretty much complete there are a few steps that I've neglected to complete.  Notably, the location of the original manufacturer's logo is still pretty gunk covered.  Once I get an appropriate cleaner I'll remove the freezer handle and then clean the gunk.  The other remaining step is to remove a little gunk around where fridge door had been affixed to the fridge door.  In total I think that these final fixes/cleaning jobs shouldn't take more than about ten minutes.

Oh, and the manufacturer has been so kind as to provide us with a replacement logo that we can place on the freezer door if we are so inclined - at the moment I'm not so sure I feel like replacing the logo if I don't have to.

And if you're curious, the process wasn't all that bad and was actually pretty straight forward.  Of course, there was one step when a second body was necessary.  Knowing that going into the process would have been nice, but otherwise it was really much easier than I expected.
