One of the worst parts of moving into and living in a home while it's being renovated is the short comings it might have.
For Sylvia the worst was the lack of a functional gas cook stove. The old stove was not only non functional it was dirty, grease loaded and a relic from some yesteryear. It had to go!
Worse then that the electrical behind the stove had been left uncapped and simply sticking up in mid air. It's hard to see in the blow up below but trust me.. it was just there.. hanging out of the wall.
While waiting for another stove cooking was accomplished in an electric skillet, on a hot plate or in the microwave.. It's amazing what one can fix using these three appliances....
Installation of the new range started with installing a Leviton 20 amp, 125 volt GFCI outlet.
Once the outlet was functional we laid down the new plywood sub floor and brought in the new range.
It became a short test of nerves when the wrench we had available wouldn't fit the range side of the flex hose coupling. A quick run to Home Depot for a larger adjustable wrench solved the problem.
Sue works behind the range attaching the flex hose to the back of the range. It was tight quarters both for her and the wrench!
It's a big thumbs up as the burners light for the first time on the new range!! Can't wait to bake a big loaded pizza in my new oven!!!
The new black Frigidaire range in place on the new sub floor... what a beautiful sight this is!!
