New Appliances

Posted at 1:32 pm MDT to Miscellaneous

I like the Boulder Appliance Center. They called yesterday and said that the stove and dishwasher would be delivered and installed between 11 and 1 today. They called a few minutes after 11 to say they were on the way, and they finished up and left just before 1.

No live mice were seen during operations, but one recently dead one was under the dishwasher. I wonder what killed it? I vacuumed places that haven't been vacuumed in a long time.

Later today I will spend some time reviewing the owner's manuals (especially for the stove, which has a lot of options and special features). And then I will prepare my first meal cooking with gas.

My next step is to call an electrician to install the new range hood and adjust the electrical sockats by the stove. Its electrical parts don't use the 240 volt socket that the old electric stove used, and I may need adjustments to the electric outlets that are reachable from the stove. (For some reason, the outlet for the fridge is 5 feet up, where the cord from the stove can't reach it. I may just have the electrician put another outlet lower on that wall.)
