Dances with Stoves
So, 2020 might end up being The Year of Three Stoves. The appliance repair guy said that the cost to fix the stove in my kitchen would be about $400 and a couple of parts needed to be ordered. OK, fine, I'm not thrilled, but whatever. Then I ran into our condo maintenance guy and he said he knows of some guy named Frank who is remodeling his kitchen and has a fully functioning gas stove to give away. He said he could help us install it.
(Remember that I began 2020 with the 1980s-era gas stove that was in the kitchen when I bought this place in 1999. It wasn't working too well. So when I had some renovations to the kitchen done thanks to the water leaks from the upstairs neighbors, I bought a new-to-me stove from one of those sketchy "discount appliance" places.)
Now waiting to see whether Frank is still giving that stove away and, if so, how we can get our hands on stove #3, get rid of stove #2, etc. I would still owe $72 for the initial visit of the appliance repair guy; I hope I don't fall onto his employer's shit list.
