Just managed to squeeze a mini wine fridge under my kitchen counter—took some creative measuring and a bit of luck, but it's working perfectly now. Anyone else have a similar satisfying DIY moment lately?

Nice job! Those tight fits always feel like a huge win once they're finally done. Had something similar happen recently when I installed some floating shelves in my living room. Thought it'd be straightforward, but turns out the wall studs were nowhere near where I expected them to be (typical, right?). Ended up having to get creative with toggle bolts and a bit of careful measuring to make sure everything lined up evenly. Took way longer than planned, but now they're rock solid and look great.
Funny how these small DIY projects always seem to snowball into something bigger than you initially thought. But hey, that's half the fun, isn't it? Plus, there's nothing quite like stepping back afterward and thinking, "Yeah, I did that."
Curious though—did you have any trouble with ventilation for your fridge under there? I've heard mixed things about airflow when squeezing appliances into tight spaces...
Nice work getting that fridge in there—sounds like a satisfying puzzle to solve. I ran into ventilation issues with mine at first... ended up drilling a few discreet holes in the back panel. Fingers crossed yours stays cool without any extra tweaks.
Nice job squeezing that fridge in—always feels great when you finally get something like that sorted. Ventilation’s definitely key, especially if it’s tucked into a snug spot. Had a client once who insisted on cramming theirs into the tightest cabinet imaginable... ended up overheating pretty quickly. We eventually had to create some subtle vents, similar to what you did. Hopefully yours breathes easy without breaking out the drill, but hey, at least you know the fix if things heat up!
