This Old House: Appliance Edition

I'm not sure at what point I immediately began to take pictures "for the blog," when we did anything around here, but that's what seems to be happening. As part of a "this old house" appliance installment, I proudly present our new range. This is our fourth new appliance in as many months- all unplanned additions to our home. We weren't sad to see the old ones go, but it complicated things because we were not planning on these until the construction was a little farther along.
Goodbye, old, old stove that cooked 100 degrees hotter than you said you would...

We decided to switch from electricity, so we now have a gas dryer and range in addition to our water heater. This made more work for ourselves, though, as it required moving gas lines and plumbing to accommodate the new appliances and put them where we plan for them to go in the remodel. Because of this, the new range seems to float in the kitchen without a counter around it. After installing the stove, Vince, the designated appliance repairman, mentioned, "well, I now know how to install any appliance, after all of this."
Yeah! No more no-bake cookies! And just in time for all those wonderful veggie dishes I know I'll be creating very soon.
