Some additional considerations to weigh in making your choices. If you go with with a slide-in induction range. Both the GE and Bosch have full-power (2000 watt) elements for the convection functions. (Most ranges and wall ovens use 300-watt convection elements and mostly use the bottom element.) The GE slide-in (PHS920) often can be found discounted, which means (depending on where you shop) you might be able to get it for $500 to $600 less than the Bosch HIIP054U. The GE has a significantly bigger oven cavity (i.e., greater usable depth and more usable height) while the Bosch has more usuable space on the stovetop. (The GE's angled front control panel eats some space.) The GE's stovetop has two identical 8" medium/large burners on the left which makes it easy to use a burner spanning rectangular griddle (say, for pancakes) or deglazing large roasting pans. (However, for griddles, you have to be picky because you've only got a lttle over 19" of depth to work with). The Bosch does not have the length limitation but it's two "in-line" burners are different sizes, The two left hand burners on the Bosch are a 9" diameter and a 6" diameter, so harder to get even heating, plus a wide pan (say a roasting pan) may overlap ino the area of the 11"central burner, and that could be a problem when you have other pans on the range. You can pull hot baking pans out of the oven and set them down on the GE's stovetop without worrying about laying them on the control surface. With the Bosch having the burner control panel on top of the stove, I would worry about damaging it if I were to, say, accidentally put a very hot pizza pan or broiler pan on it. (This might be paranoia from issues with older induction ranges.) The Bosch has individual burner timers which can be very handy for recipes that require fairly precise times (as with pressure cookers, for example, or rice). The two stoves have different ergonomics for the burner and oven controls. I don't know that one is better than the other, but you may have preferences. So, a good idea to check out the onine copies of the manual and, if possible, see the stoves in person. Cooktops: The Bosch and GE have different burner layouts. One may appeal to you more than the other. If you can find display models, take some pans you often use together and see how well they fit. The Bosch has timer controls for the burners, Refrigerators: For the last two or three years, GE has been making its own fridges. (It "on-shored" its production to new factories in Kentucky). That seems to have helped with past reliability problems. Keep that in mind when reading reviews. When Bosch first started selling fridges here several years ago -- source of the product unknown to me --- there were some pretty negative comments here about unreliability within months of purchase. The current Bosch FD fridges are rebadged Whirlpools (IIRC, outfitted similarly to Whirlpool's kitchenaid models.) That may help with your research. Dishwasher: Didn't see this on your list. Are we correct to assume that already has been selected? Range Hood: Already selected, as well? Washer & Dryer: Can't help with this. Sorry. You might try posting in the Laundry forum.

@Patricia Colwell That's good to hear. Thank you for the local feedback. Their designs are certainly beautiful. We can envision one of their homes on our new property. I've reached out to them today.

Lose the bay window and the shutters at that window for starters. Do not paint the brick. Change out the front door for a single door with two sidelites and clean up the landscaping, especially the overgrown bushes on the right and balance the hedges/bushes when replacing.

Thanks everyone. Sorry for the delay in responding. My head is full these days and had to spend the last two days unloading my computer of excess weight. Last thing I wanted to do, but now computer seems to be behaving more like its old self. I really appreciate the advise and well wishes. I'm passing it on to dd. She's surprised to know so many of you and your loved ones have had to overcome this. She is trying believe that she too can improve like a lot others have. Yes, the clam chowder recipe would be great, if you see this mtn. Thank you. I don't want to mention the name, but I got a notification that someone made a post on this thread, but I'm not seeing it here : ( I was looking forward to reading it. Not sure if it went poof or if the person removed it. But thank you for taking the time to write it. Just wish I could see it. Happy news to share for those of you following along. Perhaps being back on sucralfate, or the two new supplements shared here, not sure which is in play, but dd has reported less pain in the last two days. She's very relieved. May it last! The nature of this seems to be hit or miss, so hoping she continues in a positive direction. She did teach herself to knit for stress relief a couple years ago, but hasn't been able to bring herself to pick it up again this year. I wish she would, but... When I was at an unhealthy work enviornment for a few years, I crocheted a lot of hats, scarves and a large blanket. I found it to be a sanity saver, so yea, I wish she would pick up knitting again. Maybe she will in the near future. I leaned heavy on crocheting to help me get through that troubled work environment. Hugs to everyone : )
