How To Get A New Stove
Even though this house was only 5 years old when we bought it, there have been things going on that makes us think the people we bought the house from were doing a ‘flip’ job. We found that the a/c-heater was much older than the house, and apparently, the original had been removed, and a seriously cheap piece of crap replaced it. Naturally, it crapped out the day I got out of the hospital last year, on the HOTTEST day of the year. Ever been ill, suppose to take it easy, living in a house where the night time temp was over 100? Not pleasant. So, we bought a new one.
Not all that long ago, the refridgerator started acting up. Instead of waiting till it totally stopped working, we got a really nice stainless one. It’s sooo cool! All kinds of snazzy dodads.
Of course, shortly after, the kitchen sink starting acting up. Lowe’s has some really nice ones, and I’m quite happy with the new one. 
NOW? Well, somehow, I managed to break it. NO, it was NOT intentional. Would I do something like that? Did you know that ceramic bowls bounce without breaking? But it sure can do some serious damage to a stove top. The whole bloomin’ thing is all cracked. We were advised that it would cost almost as much to get it fixed as it would to buy a new one….to match the fridge and sink, naturally. We can’t use the stove top, and I don’t do a whole lot of baking, so, what it’s doing right now is gathering dust. Why not get a new one?
Now, if you are going to go to all the trouble of getting a new stainless stove, you might as well have the microwave to match, right? They’re suppose to deliver the stove tomorrow (do I have to cook?) and the nuker will be installed in a week or so.
Maybe next year, the white dishwasher will crap out.
