Got my new stove finally

18 years ago

When we moved back here, geeze it's been two years now can you believe,,we left my prized KitchenAid convection oven stove to go with the house when it sold. I'd bought it brand new and only had it a couple of years and I really really liked it. When we bought this house, not having a stove I asked the previous owners to include theirs in the sale and they did but I never much cared for it.. For one it had no self cleaning oven and for two it wasn't a convection oven which I wanted for bread baking etc.

Oh and the other thing.. my old KitchenAid had a temperature probe which believe it or not I DID use quite regularly and the new Kitchen Aid convection ovens no longer have the probe.

Well long story semi short now... last week I'm in the Habitat for Humanity Restore where I go almost every day and lo and behold in the backroom just brought in is a KA convection stove similar to my old one back in Alberta so I raced over and said if it all checks out I want it and I got it for $200. It hardly looked to have been used.

Biggest difference, mine was the coil top this is my first smooth top.. to tell the truth I preferred the coil top, less fuss but for that price I don't care.. I got my convection oven back YAY

Someone posted a while back that one came with a big dent on the rear metal panel, and decided to send it back. I'd say if there is any damage on delivery, send it back for a new one, as there's no way to prove to GE later on that the damage wasn't caused by you.

The fence situation is the kink of the whole property, and is causing me the biggest grief right now. What you can't tell from the photo is that the pool is actually raised higher than the yard behind it, and there is approximately 10 feet behind/between the pool fence and the split rail fence that runs the perimeter of the yard. The lattice is largely there for privacy, as none of the pools in our area have fences for code. Neighborhood rules dictate that you can have a privacy fence around your pool, provided it's far enough back from the property line. (Where the split rail fence is) I want to do just what you're saying, but it would be ALOT of money right now. They'd basically have to come in and build a new retaining wall behind the pool, add fill dirt to bring the surface level with the existing pool deck to expanding the area (to allow for flowers and the like), and then we could fence around that. However, we would then be very close to the setback requirements. Arrgghhhhh....... Since we're so far over budget on the interior renovation, this project may have to wait until next year. :(

Finally got my new floors!

Woops! Yes the color is chestnut. Another reason I liked it was the "boards" are different widths. That seems to make it more realistic. The prep work included removing old carpet and vinyl tiles. Then the floor was scraped and cleaned. After that, new underpayment had to be put down for the warranty on the floor to be valid. Seams were filled in and sanded, then cleaned again before the floor went down. After that, new floor and quarter round. It took two very hard working guys a week to do it all. They also moved all of my furniture and placed it back when finished. I think I could sell this floor, I like it so much!

I'm happy for you Pkguy. What a great deal. Your stove looks like the Kitchenaid we had in the Duncan house. Although I still prefer gas, I actually liked the smooth top. Very easy to clean.

Enjoy!

Nice stove! Pick pots that fit the burner size and the smooth tops work pretty good.

I've never used a smooth top, but that's a darned nice stove and for $200, I'd sure try to adapt to electric, Wow!

I have an 8 year old KA electric convection stove like that. The convection oven makes the most perfect cookies ever! Like you, I can take or leave the cooktop part, but I love the oven.

That's a terrific deal. I like my smooth top. Scotch Brite just came out with a cleaning product that I like.

I like browsing the HFH stores. I have helped my brother outfit his river house with great stuff. He wasn't real keen on the pillars--he didn't think they were a good fit for his fishing camp decor.
