.....hope ya enjoy the new one!!....and hope the cleaner works to unstop the drain for ya too....
....by doing it yourself ya are saving quite a bit of $$.....
It is clear that they have just volunteered you to make them some goodies in the new stove, just to make sure it works properly of course.They did make a comment of 'if this is what she can do with a broken oven, imagine what she can do with a functioning one!' And they were all gone, so I guess that means they really were ok.
22 to be exact! I thought 30 was a good place to stop, but i'll take 22! 
I didn't hit hard, like I said, I actually just rolled down, the 100 lb kid, just came down next to me and I held tight to his collar. My glasses flew off into the next county though... My kid and the gentleman checked that I was Ok, I was laughing and just told them to take the kid, I was fine. DS3 was worried though because my glasses were broken. I am actually fine to drive without my glasses so no worries. Buuuuutttt…. they were my only glasses. I have one spare pair, but they are spares because they hurt my head and don't fit right, they are not something I can live with for even a really short amount of time. So as soon as we got to town, grabbed some lunch, and checked that Costco didn't offer the vision exam, I fenagled an appointment with an eyeglass place a town over. The Costco over there does do eye appts but they couldn't get me in until the end of September. I laughed... My youngest kid is 21.... so it would be a little weird if I was only 22! But Hey, I like that! I can start aging backwards! So champagne for me tonight and for anyone that wants to celebrate my regressing age with me! 
Oh yeah, and since I don't have insurance, the glasses cost me as much as my new oven!!!!! 
They should be here in 2 weeks. 
But I cant use it yet.... no water…. Make that, no faucet in the kitchen. My new favorite repair guy just left. And boy was he frustrated! He said "you weren't lying about how difficult that drain was going to be!" I don't need to lie.... my truths make for a crazy enough life! He is coming back tomorrow. Hopefully we will get it fixed then.
I TOLD you that you didn't look anywhere near your current age, I think that was a year or two ago.
but what are you gonna do? it wasn't allowing water through the actual faucet, just the sprayer) and the bath faucet was taken apart, diverter is functioning, and they will call me back with the price for the specialized parts to repair the knobs. 4 hours, and $600 later but the poor guy felt bad about charging so much as he couldn't clear the line with the snake yesterday and almost didn't charge me for his time. I insisted. I did accept a small reduction on his hourly rate, but I meant it when I said that he needed to make money on this job or he wouldn't be willing to come out again... and I NEED him to be willing to come out again!!! He is a good guy with integrity and he is skilled. I would like to have those skills and knowledge available when I need them, so I am willing to pay what I owe. Besides, he was shocked at the prices I was telling him I usually pay one of the big name companies to come out for just average work at a highly overpriced rate. So I still got a better deal. Integrity matters both ways. Even if he knows that jobs at my place are gonna test his patience and skills, knowing that I appreciate his time and effort and I will pay accordingly, hopefully he won't be too irritated when my number pops up on his phone.
Yay! At least "yay" on the ability to cook...!I can wash dishes now and I can cook!!!!
