(This morning's breakfast, and no, they're not made with real hamsters. *I* made them. Hamsters can't handle my skillet.)

That's funny, because just this morning I made chicken waffles... except mine actually were made out of chicken.

They get burned to ash. My oven is past it's useful life, and is overdue to be replaced. There's a major DIY thread coming up soon.

yeah, major.

electric stove and oven now, but I've got my eye on a gas range/oven as the replacement. buying the new oven, lashing it to my vw golf, moving it in, moving the old one out, that's major right there.

extending the gas plumbing from the stub in the basement up into the kitchen and safely and making a leak free connection to the range, major and high stakes. houses in this region can blow up ya know.

Plus, I'll have a new range hood to install, and plumb that one to vent outside. major. so...

yeah, it's a big deal.

Oh dayum - yeh that's a whole different kettle of fish.
I installed a new microwave/vent unit, but could not logistically vent it outside.
I did install a new outlet for it in the cupboard above.

You will be THRILLED with a gas stovetop though. They are so much better than flattops or electric.

Shit, what? All the stores we've ever worked with have free delivery and haul away the old unit too. I mean, I understand it's not really free, it's built into the price, but it's already built into everyone's price, you can't get a discount for picking it up yourself.

AND they won't deliver gas to a new customer w/o first checking your hook-up.

Saved $75 IIRC
