If not, I might have to find someone to remove the one cabinet and counter top on one side to accommodate it, but, that will be more work!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-41446315299781880352021-06-24T16:13:00.212-07:002021-06-24T16:13:00.212-07:00Glad there wasn't anything majorly wrong with ...Glad there wasn't anything majorly wrong with it. I know what you mean about just-so sized appliances. Our fridge has to be a certain size and apparently it's an awkward one. We do want to get the kitchen done at some point so I suppose (hopefully) the fridge will hang on until then lol. Hope you find a stove that fits!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039174572211086359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-44199262193309715922021-06-24T13:52:52.470-07:002021-06-24T13:52:52.470-07:00Yes, I'm glad the stove was checked out and it...Yes, I'm glad the stove was checked out and it is OK for use. But, it is probably time to replace it. I am hoping that the newer stoves manufactures by this same company will be as durable!<br /><br />Sounds like you've had your fill of rabbits over there! Are they wild rabbits? I'm sorry they are munching down your garden - maybe you will have to plant everything surrounded by mesh wires! I've read that wild rabbits can be kept away by human hair - maybe you can place some trimmed hair around your garden!<br /><br />I hope your Black-eyed Susan plants will thrive and be out of reach of the rabbits!

I'll call to get the heater checked again sometime in the fall, around November or so. That electric skillet is making up for all the time it was kept in the cupboard, unused! :DBlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-79226978885304817302021-06-24T06:45:15.919-07:002021-06-24T06:45:15.919-07:00I am glad the service call went well and there are...I am glad the service call went well and there are no leaks or urgent matters. <br />Reading through, I see you're more than likely going to get the same manufacturer's stove as you have now. Might as well since it's served you very well for almost 3 decades! <br />I hope the fit works out. <br /><br />Rabbits. What can I say. They are cute for sure but they are a gardening nuisance big time for me. Our neighborhood is full of them. They are everywhere. Over the years I will admit that they've lost their charm. This year they must be particularly hungry as they've eaten things that I've never had them eat before. This week they devoured my Asiatic lilies. A first. And I see they've been eating the leaves of the gone by Siberian Iris. Another first. There are many flowers I'd like to have but I no longer even attempt them.<br />I always get a couple pots of black-eyed Susans and just place the pots in the bed. <br />Instant flowers lol<br />The year I planted them in the ground they were eaten down in a day by the rabbits. I didn't know they were a favorite but I do now!<br />I noticed two Black-eyed Susan seedlings back in early spring so I've protected them and they're doing well. I'm excited by that. 56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-21951700684946284172021-06-24T02:58:52.146-07:002021-06-24T02:58:52.146-07:00It sounds like your block is slowly being taken ov...It sounds like your block is slowly being taken over by rabbits ;)<br />I'm glad you've had your stove checked, you can never be too careful with these appliances. Also, how fortunate you have the electric skillet you can use for the time being.

Most stoves seem to come in two standard sizes - 24" and 30" wide. I'll keep my fingers crossed that a 30" one will fit! If not, I might end up with a stove in the middle of the kitchen! <br /><br />I shall be on the lookout for more bunnies!<br /><br />Sounds like the butterfly population is thriving in your area, this summer!

I remember the trouble our son had to get a new fridge and we also had to make adjustments with ours. That electric skillet is proving to be a blessing lately!<br />I shall be watching to see how many white bunnies you find in future. This could be the start of a bunny dynasty!<br /><br />I'm seeing a lot of butterflies around, not just Monarchs but many Swallowtails and a lot of tiny Skippers.

(I have the original receipt for my stove, kept with the user's manual.) I was really surprised! Of course the installation and delivery fees have gone up in the intervening years as well as the amount of sales taxes! I am thinking of buying the same brand and model - I know, I've very boring that way! <br /><br />I like raw zucchini, almost more than I like cooked zucchini. I hope you enjoy the taste of raw zucchini, too. <br /><br />It's the same quilt - I seem to sew about 4 or 5 repair patches each day, that's all. I want to finish this quilt before I move onto the next (which is a hexagon quilt using English paper piecing that has been many years in the making!)<br /><br />Thank you, Eileen; I walked a bit in the garden this morning and my calf muscle made itself felt, so now, I'm resting again!

Do you have a preferred brand or are you still debating what to do?<br /><br />I haven't tried zucchini like that.

Even this morning, I saw the mockingbird chasing one of the cats as it was coming up to eat the food I had just put out for them! The cats are all hiding under the plants, trying to keep out of the way of the bird! :D Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-30543615731334786782021-06-23T12:16:22.599-07:002021-06-23T12:16:22.599-07:00My house was built in 1969.

We ended up having to get a handicapped accessible dishwasher because the former owner put ceramic tile on the floor a few years later. Yes, 1/4 inch makes a difference. Then we found out that they make fridges taller and deeper as well as wider (by less that 1 inch). We had to tear our kitchen apart and lose a cabinet to get the fridge in. That took a week with the fridge sitting in the middle of the floor! Good luck on the stove...now I'm wondering if we will have problems when we replace ours!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16508488901278114809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-8893013905976059592021-06-23T06:27:45.711-07:002021-06-23T06:27:45.711-07:00Glad all checked out but I think a new stove is a ...Glad all checked out but I think a new stove is a good idea. Gas appliances are definitely nothing to mess around with. Those mocking birds are always so mean to cats. I guess it's payback for all the birds cats happen to catch.
