I realize it's cold outside, but c'mon, when the thermostat is set at 68, it seems like it should be a little warmer than 62 in the warmest part of the house.
I went to drop off the van today for an alignment after the accident, then voted. Came home to start dinner and a couple of batches of bread. Then I discovered the oven doesn't work. It's not a fuel shortage: the stove and broiler work. This pushed back dinner several hours. The repairman tells me it'll be $150 to fix it. So do we fix a stove? If we don't, we can't very well try to sell it. While the boys and I were trying to figure out some do-it-yourself information on the internet, I managed to burn the carrots for the dinner that was finally almost ready in the late afternoon. Shoot.
Have you thought about looking on Craigslist? You might be able to get a new-to-you and improved stove for less than the $150 it would take to repair the current one - especially if you're not a fan of sealed burners. If you are anticipating a move soon and aren't able to fix it yourself, you might save a few dollars that way.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about Craigslist. Erin told me about it once, and it looked like a really cool thing. I should probably try to get acquainted with it. Thanks, Kelly.
