The weekend breezed by and last night I looked at the calendar a I realized Thanksgiving will be here in a little over two weeks. Yikes!!!!
It was a busy weekend full of progress, promise and
SNOW!!
It was a busy weekend full of progress, promise and
SNOW!!
All the new appliances that we got on sale are being delivered sometime today. Numerous things are still on the to do list. However on top of the to do list for this weekend was to remove the 1980 circa Jenn Air Range and to install the new hood that goes over the range.
I will admit I thought taking out the range was going to be an all day affair.
As it turned out the range was removed in less than two hours.
So if you ever want to know how to take out a range here is what you need to do.
1. Shut off the power at the panel.
2. Make sure you have shut the power off at the panel.
3. Ask several times "Are you sure you shut the power off at the panel?"
4.Find the wiring.
5. Get a voltage meter and set to correct current.
5. Make sure you know the difference between
AC and DC
.....no not the band...
I mean Direct Current and Alternating Current
Batteries are DC while the electricity in your home is AC.
7. Once you have the voltage meter set to the correct current check the wiring by putting the probe on the exposed wires.
If the voltage meter doesn't move that means there is no power.
8. Then you are safe to clip the wires.
9. Stand very far away as the husband clips the wires and
close your eyes
just in case something
bad happens.
I am happy to report nothing bad happened!!
I was certainly nervous but my husband was in control and of course he had a little helper to make sure he was doing everything right.
Woo Hoo!!!
The range is out and new appliances will be delivered sometime today.
Now about that hood
........hmmmmm.......
well that didn't make it off the to do list because we ran into a little problem.
It is called inches.....
At the moment we are looking for one extra inch.
Yep there is one inch that means the difference of this hood fitting or not.
Heck we took an oven out......
finding an extra inch will be a
piece of cake.
Remember those 31 days of prepping for the Holidays.......
well we are actually on day 38......
But who's counting.....
right?
