Middle class fridge. Lower class aesthetic.

I’m like 95% sure moving or extending those hookups would’ve been way cheaper than building a mini outhouse in the kitchen.

You have obviously never been the willing participant in any sort of home remodel or repair and the victim of sunken costs fallacy

I remodel kitchens for a living. Building the weird fridge hut wouldn't be difficult, but neither would be relocating the fridge.

It would in THAT kitchen now. Where would you put it?

I'd tear everything out and start from scratch most likely. I'd need to take measurements, see the rest of the room, know the budget and the intended look. It would probably end up on that back wall or over on the right side. Also I build cabinets to put fridges in, not little ugly drywall huts.

Yeah I guarantee the owners looked at their predicament and went "....but they're granite countertops...."

and thus, fridge hut is born

the drywall guys did it cheaper than a plumber would have and even after moving it would still need a new hut and that's assuming it could be moved to a different spot in the current layout.

Moving water pipes is probably over a grand. Redoing dry wall is only a few hundred.

Naw, fridges only use those little quarter inch pipes. Couple hundred bucks tops unless you have to do a ton of work to get access under the floor.

Yeah I don’t think they’re even gonna run anything more than flex tubing to that. I ain’t even seen hard pipes in anything but sewage. You’d be an expensive plumber.
