Yes, we have no ice maker. I have lived 79.9 years, and only 10 of those years were with an icemaker in the fridge. NO icemaker in the 40 years in Florida.
Yes, I know you are thinking, so what, who cares, what is this post about.
The Man of the House, also known as Bob, drives me crazy when he empties the ice trays. It takes 5 to fill this container. When he twists/turns and dumps cubes he stands in the open door, with cold air fleeing from the freezer to crack them into the container. I have now started to do it myself because I can't stand him doing it the Wrong Way. I sit the container on the counter, quickly dump 5 trays and sit it back and when I fill the ice trays and put them back, I DO NOT cover the floor in water. It is better now that I PUT MY FOOT DOWN and I Stack the trays as they are meant to be stacked. For years he insisted they would not freeze properly unless all five were flat on the rack. I stacked them, he did not. IBS and MadSnapper won the war, I had to have more space to keep my frozen French Bread

We can't get ice maker in the freezer because in 1972 there were no icemakers, and when the idiots remodeled this house in 1985 they chose not to put the tubing in behind the cabinets. the water supply is across the room, and would have to be run through
4 cabinet walls, and behind the stove, and 3 more cabinet walls to get to the fridge.
