We bought a new kitchen range and microwave to be installed as part of the re-do on our flooded house. The physical dimensions on both match the ones being replaced, so it ought to be pretty straightforward, right?
Nope. Not even close.
The old range was electric and the replacement is propane. The range we had before the one we're replacing was propane, so there is a propane source in the wall, but they sheet-rocked over it and now they have to knock out part of the wall to find the pipe. The new stove also needs a 120 volt power source but the only power available right now is the 240 volt wire that powered the electric range. It ain't rocket science, it can all be corrected, but it is a pain.
I sold the old range and microwave to a lady who is converting her trailer to all electric. She was supposed to come get them last weekend, but for one reason or another, pickup keeps getting postponed. I just had a call from her and she said that she has the money in hand, but didn't want to come get them in the rain. She begged me not to sell them to anyone else, and swears they will come get them this next weekend.
Aside from waiting (which I despise and am not good at doing at all) the biggest pain the old stove has created is that I had told her the appliances got really dirty during the kitchen demo and that I was selling them as-is. Then this past weekend, when we thought she was coming to get them, Honey announced that she was not letting anything leave here looking like that, so we spent a couple hours cleaning them up.
