Still NO stove!

So Chris ordered our new appliances on February 2nd and we still have no stove! Talk about frustration...I want to cook!

The dishwasher and stove were delivered this past Saturday (2/23). Our parents came up to help with plumbing and some wood work that needed to be done for the appliances. The dishwasher was fine, the stove had a huge dent in the back. I am not talking a baseball size dent, I am talking bigger than a basketball size dent. Since we paid for a perfect stove, we had them send it back and order a new one. The delivery guy was not happy about having to take it back, but after a few minutes of frustration he loaded it back up. People have said that the dent would be okay, but we are not 100% sure. I don't want to get it hooked up and something happen, then we have to pay for them to come fix it or anything like that. It is just better to order a new one.

I was so excited to finally be able to cook a meal and Chris was wanting some homemade biscuits for breakfast the next morning. Guess it will have to wait a couple more days.

They got a new one ordered and since they had changed item numbers our new stove is about $150 cheaper than the first one. At first we thought they had ordered the wrong stove, but after checking numbers and description, it is the same one.

The guy said it would be March 11th before it arrived...geeeeezzzzz! We are just praying that it comes in sooner. I am tired of microwave meals!

I do have an electric skillet and toaster oven, but I just want a stove! So we have not starved, but cooking is a little harder and longer.

New Appliances

You know you are married and getting old when you get excited because you are getting a new range and dishwasher!

Our range has been giving error codes for a couple of weeks now. Chris went online and found what they meant and I called a local appliance repairman. We were thinking he would be able to fix it without spending a fortune...we were wrong! It would cost just as much to fix it as it would be to buy a brand new range.

So this past weekend Chris and I visited Lowe's and Weathers to get prices on ranges and dishwashers. Our dishwasher is probably 20+ years old. It sounds like a lawn mower while it is on. So I will be glad to have something quite.

Of all the appliances we looked at I was set on getting GE appliances. They just have a good look to them and seemed to have all the features we needed. That night Chris found some reviews on them that were not good, so he started looking at different brands. We went back Sunday to Lowe's and found a Whirlpool range and dishwasher we liked. Chris ordered them both Monday and they should be delivered within the next two weeks.

I went with smooth top range. Everyone I talked to like theirs and said they were easy to clean. We shall see!
