Mark has fixed our old oven at least half a dozen times, replacing the heating element, patching corroded spots in the pipes, lighting the front burner by turning the gas on then using the back burner to spark it.
It finally just wasn't worth fixing.
So we began the search for a new oven. We had a few "mishaps".
1. Mark bought one online and told me it would be delivered by the weekend. I mentioned I was hoping to be a part of picking it out. He felt bad and returned it.
2. We drove an hour and a half for a Facebook marketplace find that turned out to be NASTY.
3. We drove to a scratch and dent place, almost bought a gas/electric double oven before we realized that we didn't even have the right outlet to support the electric part. OY!
4. We talked to Andy to see if we could wire in the outlet. He said we could, but it would take some demolition.
5. I resigned myself to the fact that a double oven wasn't doable. A new oven would still be great. So we drove out to a different scratch and dent place and asked to look at their single gas ovens. He wanted to show us the doubles as well. We explained that we didn't have the right set up for double ovens because of the dual source issue. He explained that there are other double ovens that are single source, both gas!
6. And two weeks after the old oven died, we bought this beautiful double gas oven! Well worth the wait.
