Hello and Goodbye...

Well today I hadn't planned on writing but I woke up today with Dish Network crashing overnight and it erased ALL my recorded shows. WHY?!? It mostly just stinks that all the boys shows are gone and I'll have to start all over getting new ones. They have plenty of dvd's but just picking one off the recorded list is SOO much easier than fooling with the Playstation.

C'est la vie...

So last week I found a great deal on a microwave and range off of craigslist. I am changing everything out one at a time from whatever was there to stainless. The micro wasn't bad, just black and looked funny against the dark brown cabinets. The range however, is 20 years old and I think it was once white but is now a shade of yellow...annnnd it leaks gas :( No Beuno.

So anyway about this GREAT find. We pick it up and bring it home, (Helloo Gorgeous!) take out the old, put in the new micro...PERFECT! Put in the range...ummmm. It has a huge plug. The outlet on the wall is normal. Not huge...

It was advertised as a Dual Fuel with a gas stove and convection oven. We stupidly thought that it's either all gas or all electric. Dual Fuel...DUH...it all makes sense now. We only have gas hookups for the stove and oven. So we got an electrician to come out and see what it would take to get a 220 something put in so it would work.

It would take a $1000. We payed $575 for the microwave and range. No thanks.

Back on CL it went :( Last night it was picked up and now we have a gaping hole where there should be an oven...and we're living on microwave dinners and eating out. And looking for a new range pronto!!

Well, I say this was a good lesson learned. Check your connections and do a little research before diving in.

Once again...
C'est la vie...
