Hi Dave,
RH> Must be the one she chose when the house was being built. I don't
RH> recall the brand name. My microwave is above the range also; I think
RH> it's the 2nd one since we bought the house.
DD> to repair/replace it. I have to press in on the door to get it to
DD> "fire up". That's not a big deal but it's not going to fix itself. It
DD> was here when I bought the house - so, I have no idea how old it is.
DD> But I know the brand name is a "house" brand for Menard's. It's
DD> been a good, useful appliance for me.
RH> Sounds like it has done well over the years. I think the longest we've
RH> had one is about 9 years; they seem to go belly up before reaching 10.
DD> I've been here about that long. Dunno how long the nuker was in place
DD> when I bought the joint, though.
There was no microwave in this house when we bought it. It had a stove
which we replaced right away (donated old one to our church), a
dishwasher that's still going and a fridge which we replaced 6 years ago
with a bigger one. Bought the house in late November, 2014 but Steve did
some work on it before we moved in, first week end of December.
DD> electric even though gas is easier/more convenient. Fossil fuels
DD> being a finite commodity - I'll have solar panels as my roofing DD>
material. Wind gonna blow and sun gonna shine.
RH> I'd rather have a gas stove but Steve keeps saying that it's bad
RH> for my asthma. Place isn't set up for it so we've got a smooth
RH> top range instead, with a combo convection/conventional oven.
DD> How is a gas stove going to be bad for your asthma? I don't
DD> understand. But, then, there's a lot about the world that I don't
DD> "get". Bv)=
Microscopic particles that cause pollution, bad for lungs, etc according
to scientists.
DD> The oven in my range is just oven. I do have a countertop
convection DD> oven - which is just a big air-fryer. Given my limited
counter space DD> it lives in the pantry on a shelf until needed.
RH> We've got a small toaster oven that's also a convection oven, sits on
RH> the counter betwee stove and fridge.
DD> Be nice to have that much room. My stove and ice box are cheek by
DD> jowl. Then there's a 10 inch or so counter top and the sink.
Sounds about like our camper. Fridge, stove and sink are all in a line,
with a small counter to the side of the sink. Other side of that area is
seating--2 bench seats (with backs) and a table. That area morphs into a
bed, which we made up once when our grand daughters stayed with us in
Utah. The sofa is sort of like a futon bed, also used for the other
grand daughter. Both of those might sleep 2 smaller kids but in reality,
only one adult size with any degree of comfort.
DD> ... I hate when green jellybeans are mint instead of lime
OTOH, I'd rather have mint jellybeans instead of lime. (G)
