    Hi, we're nearing the end of a kitchen remodel, and the tile contractor didn't make sure the floor was level. It dips from left to right under the refrigerator (the cabinet box, itself, is level and plumb). This causes the fridge to sit crooked in the 36" cabinet box, so much that it can barely...
