Appliances R.I.P.

In the past year, our kitchen has been more of an appliance hospice than a place to prepare meals. The appliances were old when we bought the place in '91 and we haven't repaired or replaced any of them. It was just a few months before I started packing that all the machines started giving up: the dishwasher sounded like a rock tumbler.; the fridge leaked and left parts on the kitchen floor; the oven and stove kept their heat about as even as a pre-menopausal woman. All have now been scrapped except for the fridge~it's on our back porch as backup for our tiny RV fridge.

Last week, the guys finished removing the chimney and front porch area and demoed the utility room on the sound side of the house. They also stripped out all the electrical wires and plumbing. I put the chimney bricks on Craigslist and sold all but the broken ones. I LOVE Craigslist!
