my favourite, and most used, burner on the stove stopped working all of a sudden…

I called Hameed Appliances, was sent a form to complete, and got an appointment the next day…

Ron, who has been here previously, arrived and had a look… to replace the piece with a new element was going to cost $500, so I am waiting to see if they might have access to a used element…

otherwise, I am going to leave it, thinking of my mother-in-law, who used to cook on a little stove that only had two usable burners… she could produce a meal with 3 vegetables, potatoes, and a roast, without any problem, lol…

we will see what I can do;-)…

so, this morning at 8:15, Ron, from Hameed Appliance Repair Inc. arrived…

forty-five minutes, and $250 later, he was gone…

in between, he fixed a foot that had come off the stove and replaced the bake element…

woohoo…

at first I thought he was taking the stove’s blood pressure as he had these nifty little pads that pumped up and raised the side of the stove so he could get in to work on the foot, which fought pretty hard, but he won the battle, lol…

the element was an easy fix as he had one in his vehicle, it took minutes to replace…

we had a lovely conversation about the lifespan of older versus newer appliances and I got a card for someone they recommend for refurbished appliances… hope I don’t need that for a long time;-)…

so I think I will roast something for supper…

thanks to a suggestion from a friend, we picked up some porcelain filler for the stove and basement pedestal sink…

after sanding, painting, re-sanding, and drying a number of times, the stove looks great… can’t spot the fix unless you get real close and know where to look…

sadly, I forgot to get a before picture…

the sink is taking a bit more time…

but coming along nicely…

a few weeks ago I picked up some new knives… they are a bit heavier that the old ones… put them up onto the IKEA magnet beside the stove…

the first day I cut myself as one slid down the magnet and I caught it…

and a few days ago, the same one slid down and landed on the stove…

I was so happy to see that the glass top of the stove didn’t crack…

but then I realized that the end of the knife put two chips in the porcelain…

every time I look at the stove I wonder what is on it, before remembering that these are the chips, lol…

going to have to have someone come and fill them up…

last night when the boys came by after going out for Halloween, Jeff put the new top on the stove…

IMG_9132.JPGof course there were no directions, but he figured it out and it now looks great and works perfectly…

they came over late this afternoon and he and the boys started catching the fish to bring them into their winter condo…

IMG_9130.JPGhe worked for an hour and a half… the boys lasted about twenty minutes, lol…

IMG_9131.JPGthe last few fish didn’t want to be caught, even though there was ice on the top of the pond, but he wasn’t giving up…

IMG_9128.JPGwe now have thirty fish in the tank…

IMG_9129.JPGhappy to have the company back in the house…

the sky was lovely this morning… I got a shot of the clouds…

IMG_8661.JPGdid a bit of tidying up while I was waiting for my new stove and fridge…

IMG_8662.JPGthey are not brand new, but new to me… my son-in-law, and his brother, brought them over and put the stove in easily… we weren’t able to replace the glass on top, but hope to do that in the next week or so…

IMG_8663.JPGthe fridge on the other hand was a different story… had to take off the back door to get it into the house… then they had to take off the door in the basement… then they had to take off the two fridge doors… then they had to take off two fasteners at the bottom of the fridge and that was when they ran out of time…

so there is a fridge with no doors in the middle of the basement, waiting to get into the back room and be put back together…

IMG_8664.JPGto finish off the day I watched the moon go by my window… it was beautiful…

lots of changes today…
