Maybe it's just tge perspective, but it looks like you could unscrew it, move the fridge in and then put it back in.

Unscrew it

Screw it

Yeah, you can even screw it back on after!

Nah it would still be occupying the same space as the fridge

The floor is really ugly right there but the fridge can go in a different spot. I already have enough drywall work

I mean, just unscrew the screws?

Probably can't open the freezer with it in the way, or real close lol

But why can't you just remove it? It being mounted into the studs isn't any different than any other spot, it's just more secure.

That is also an attractive option. I'm mildly infuriated, after all.

Just move the spice board to a different place?

I wouldn't be tackling drywall work if I were him. Figuring out how to turn screws has completely halted this fridge operation.

Hey I just took a picture and shitposted

I think OP knows they can unscrew it.

That's probably why it's only 'mildly' infuriating.

If you slid the left side of the fridge in first, it would fit fine.

The only thing mildly infuriating about this post is knowing that fridge would fit. So, I guess, good job! I'm now mildly infuriated.

And then just never open the freezer door I guess

Bop It™️

Putting the oven right up against the fridge is the real problem here. Look at where the hood is.

What are they cooking with they need to put that into a stud? Was it common for them to set their tungsten rolling pin atop and then hang their lead apron from the edge? Did they have a recipe that calls for a pinch of neutron star?

WTF. Even if the previous occupants had a short fridge, who wants a spice rack over the fridge. Just bizarre

This is more like /mildlyinconvenient.

Hint: The top of the fridge can house many more spices than that minishelf

Who'd need that anyway.

That must be where they placed the weight of their sins

I have no idea what I'm doing. Please say what you mean.

Not bizarre if they kept stuff on top of the (shorter) fridge and within reach that's used regularly.

The fridge is 29 and 3/8 deep and the rack is mounted about 28.5 from the wall so no, it won't fucking fit. I'll remove the rack, for everybody out there.

I know it can lower the lifespan of the fridge,, but unsure if there's more than that!

It would swing out just fine.

Thanks I hadnt heard that

The fridge is 29 and 3/8 deep and the rack is mounted about 28.5 from the wall so no, it won't fucking fit. I'll remove the rack, for everybody out there. Or I'll put the fridge a bit further from the stove

I don't see a difference

Its mounted into TWO studs

Mounting your spice rack to the studs is just sage advice. Otherwise, you're putting the structural integrity at risk, and if that fails, you're in for a bad thyme. Trust me, this happened to me once. There was still paprika in my grout when I moved out. And to add salt to the wound, the landlord made me pay for the damage.

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it
Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it, snap it, work it, quick, erase it
Write it, cut it, paste it, save it, load it, check it, quick, rewrite it
Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it, drag it, drop it, zip, unzip it

That is brilliant

Allspice racks mounted tomatoes would require your landlord to cumin to the kitchen to at least approve the modification.

When I bought my home, the fridge had a big ol burn spot on the side of it from the stove being right next to it lol. That’s probably what people may be referring to. I never use those two burners because of that despite getting a new stove and fridge since moving in just seeing that. Also the refrigerator sides will naturally get hot/warm as they expel heat from normal operations, so putting it next to something that is hot can be somewhat counterproductive for that too. Not going to cause it to overheat, but may not be the best position if you can help it. Kind of like how you wouldn’t want to put a heater positioned near your gaming PC if you want the best possible performance.

I dunno man. Sounds mildly infuriating to have to go get a screwdriver, come back and try unscrewing it only to realize you need a power tool because it is in the studs. Go get the drill, damnit battery is dead. Damnit extra battery is dead because I hardly use this damn thing.

Uh no. It looks like the spice rack is in the space that the fridge needs to occupy anyway, and if it somehow isn't, it would block the door.

If the battery for your impact driver (not drill, BTW) isn't shared with a bunch of other tools from the same brand, you're doing it wrong.

Unscrew it. Throw it away. Keep your spices away from light and air.

You know, that’s true actually - I retract my statement

And the fridge is just a hair too tall to slide under the vent hood, so you can’t even go around it.

There’s so many things that are mildly infuriating here. And taken all together…. Still mildly infuriating.

Quality post. I’m gonna kick back and be grateful I don’t have any appliances to move in my near future.

I rely on ratcheting screwdrivers because I won't be assed over batteries.

Gotta do some pullups on this thing.

Stove doesn’t have 1.5ft clearance on either side, not up to code

This is clearly a load bearing spice rack.
