 RH>> Even something simple as an extra railing on outside steps isn't as
 RH>> easy as it looks. VA said we needed one to get the house loan so Steve
 RH>> is building it. Had to figure how to fasten it in to the house, angles
 RH>> for everything, etc, etc.
 NB>> Yup, that can be an issue.

 RH> It's done tho, and all installed. Looks pretty good too, especially
 RH> for a first time building a rail. He did make one mistake but corrected
 RH> it in a way you'ld not know there was a goof.

Good deal.  :)  Of course, most important is having the railing sturdy
so that it is safe and helpful... ;)
 
 RH>> Mom's stove only had one oven.  If all the hook ups are there, I
 RH>> wouldn't mind evnetually changing out the stove in the new place
 RH>> for a gas one with 2 ovens, like my grandmother used to have. I'm
 RH>> not sure if one was more of a warming oven or a baking oven but the
 RH>> other was full sized.
 NB>> Mine, the second one is half-height, since the well for the deep
 NB>> fryer is above it... otherwise it was a full working oven/broiler...
 NB>> we've scavenged the coils from it for the other oven already... ;) 
 NB>> So now it's just storage..

 RH> We were at Lowe's for a bit tonight, looking at washers & dryers,
 RH> some glances at stoves as we went by. One double oven had the larger
 RH> oven on the bottom--it would have been a pain to get down so low,
 RH> especially as knees and other joints aged.

So the ovens were stacked, not side by side?  Was that an electric or a
gas stove...?
 
 RH>>> Probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Or, toss all of them and get a
 RH>>> new one. Dad isn't cooking any more so he wouldn't really know
 RH>>> at this point.
 NB>>> You might get away with it now, true... :)
 RH>> Probably could; I might give it a try. (G)
 NB>> Yup, worth a try...  ;)   If he does notice, you might catch it for
 NB>> it, though...  ;)

 RH> Don would probably get it instead, as we would be gone by the time
 RH> Dad noticed. (G)

You hope....!   ;)   I suppose you are figuring that as long as you are
there, there'd be such a flurry of activity that he'd not think to
notice anything, eh....?
 
 RH>> They got the aluminum handle Rada stuff; it really reacted badly
 RH>> with the dishwasher detergent (pitting and other corroding).
 NB>> Ah.

 RH> It did the same with some aluminum tumblers they'd gotten as a wedding
 RH> present. They thought everything could go into the dishwasher but
 RH> found out that wasn't so.

Sometimes there's something good to be said for not having a
dishwasher... one is less likely to inadvertently damage some things. ;) 

 RH>> Most of the time our bread is my home made so it is a hearty one.
 NB>> True... and even Steve's homemade is also hearty... ;)

 RH> Yes, and we like keeping a supply of it on hand. (G) He's suspended
 RH> the kefir production until after we resettle but put a batch of bread
 RH> into the freezer while we still had kefir.

Good thinking.  :)
