Think of it as dog software running on cat hardware and you'll be fine.

I've always asked what does "affordable" mean.

I'd call in a plumber at that point.

Not a fan of shark bites so I wouldn't know.

I can't tell from the pics but it looks like black iron which is usually for gas lines. Galvanized or copper for water.

Yes, but add a single stage filter at least, it will save you a bunch of money on the proprietary filters in the fridge.

I'd use a compression tee off the line after the filter, might as well have good tasting ice too.

In that case just wedge a 2x4 under the bottom edge to hold it open at full swing, that should take all tension off the spring and you can just unhook the chain. Have a friend around to help you lower the door back down so you can take them off.

When you say 'remove' are you planning on replacing them? That style door is dangerous to open/close without some sort of assist.

That threaded plastic sleeve will unscrew to reveal the stem body. Remove and replace for easiest fix.

Reply to Circular saw advice - corder vs battery? by orestis
If you aren't doing major construction the convenience of cordless is unbeatable. I have both and as DIYer I reach for the cordless more often.
Check out the full line of tools that use the battery and charger that you buy. You don't want to end up with 3 or 4 different types of batteries. You will be buying more tools so think long term.
I chose Milwaukee when my original 9volt Makita stick tools wore out. I loved my cordless reciprocating saw and Milwaukee had the best replacement so I switched over.
