A new range was nearing the top of the renovations list in the Waldoboro, Maine, house when suddenly and sadly there was no more handy husband Tom to complete the beautiful, new kitchen.
Now, years later, new handy husband Roy and I are fixing up his Wayland, Massachusetts, house anew, just for ourselves.
To that end we bought a gas range from a national retailer. Actually, we bought two.
If you want to know something of the trauma of that transaction, see Roy Barnacle's FB post on the topic. I'll just say that after 4 visits from the installers the first new stove was declared a lemon. Then, after one of the most tense and unpleasant re-shopping experiences I've ever endured, the replacement is in place, as of yesterday -- and it WORKS, very well.

Roy followed suit with a dutch apple pie. You can see what has happened to that.
