out of the frying pan and into the kitchen

Post by Sir Henry » Sun Jan 17, 2021 9:23 am

I’m not rich and I’m not poor. Like most of us here I’m retired middle class. Since my IRA went through the roof for the last two years I think the best thing I can do with it is to help stimulate the economy.

It comes at a good time because I want to replace 34 year old kitchen appliances, double wall oven, drop-in range , hood vent, refrigerator and dish washer. I’m decided to go with the LG brand. Made in the USA.

Right now selection is low with few choices. That is about to change as the factory fired up again about a month ago. Covid19 shut them down for about nine months.

A new air rifle (or two) is also in the plans.

Didn’t know LG was made in the US, thanks for pointing that out.

Good on you for getting out there and stimulating the economy. Looks like a win win to me. Looking forward to the pictures.

I ordered granite tops for my counters. I picked out two slabs and they showed me how they would be cut. This is a truer picture of the color.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I ended up not getting this slab because I was not ready to take immediate delivery. The reason I mention this is because I sold my old refrigerator today and all new appliances will be delivered on Tuesday.

In the meantime I’ll be cooking in the outdoor kitchen during 40 degree weather. Cooking and eating outside for about two weeks while I install the new built in wall oven, range top and dishwasher. Then comes the fun part of installing granite countertops.

Gene, when we replaced our kitchen e.i. total tear-out from foundation to cabinets, tile, windows and granite counter tops) the six different outfits always included the installation. I don't know your skills, but when it comes to granite, they break it, they pay. If you break it, you pay. Just saying.
I wish you the very best on your kitchen install.

I’ll only be installing the appliances and doing the tear-out. No way do I have the equipment or muscle to install the granite. They will sit the sink in position and I do all the pumping.

I got up early to get a Mercury Latte. Now I sit and wait for the new appliances to be delivered today. If you think under the refrigerator and dishwasher was dirty you should have seen under the washer and dryer.
