Something new!

The broiler on our old stove died sometime in the last six months. Not sure when, but sometime back I decided to use it and it wouldn't heat up. Now, when we bought the house it came with a home warranty, and we've kept the policy up...since we have appliances/heat pumps/etc that are aging with the house. And we've had to make use of the policy a couple of times. It's been pretty much worth it.

So, we called the home warranty folks and they sent a repair man out who identified the problem as a bad(I think) circuit board and ordered a new part.

Well, since the stove is probably as old as the house, the part was no longer available. Upshot: we're getting a whole new stove (and the home warranty just paid for itself big time!)

The old stove required special reflector pans that cost something like 20 bucks each...and the old ones were looking pretty bad. The old stove had a 'self cleaning' cycle on it, but you know there was no manual left anywhere for it so I had no idea how to use it. So the oven looked pretty bad, too.

And the electric coil burners (aka 'eyes' in the South...) did not lay flat.

So...you can imagine how tickled I am. Especially since My Sweet Baboo decided it would be worthwhile to pay a bit ourselves and upgrade to a glass top model.

It's supposed to be here tomorrow...wheee!!
