You want to know about the Girls Night Out to christen the new range?
The installer pulled out the old range, said, "I can't install your new range," Gary said, "I TOLD YOU THIS PARTY WAS A BAD IDEA" and I began making calls.
My old range is hard-wired to the house and the new one expects a place to plug in. Understandable. I should have stopped two weeks ago when the salesman asked if my plug was a three or four wire plug.
"I dunno."
"How old is your house?"
"Twenty four."
"It's a three-prong then."
Well, no, it's a no-prong, and I probably should have checked but I was filled with induction lust. (It drew me in like a magnet.)
The range got as far as my garage. The electrician who came out today said."Whoa. You''re upgrading!"
So, slowly, so so slowly, the range is nearing the kitchen. After it's turned on and heats something I'll reschedule the GNO.
So was that 24 years old, or 1924?

At the house in Florida, the smoke alarm systems were hard-wired into the house electricity. I hated that.

Magpie - oh, no 24 years old. I still say it's a new house. "Would you be interested in refinishing your cabinets?" "Oh, no,it's a new house."
Becs - What if you had an electrical fire?

Well, thank you for this very informative post. I truly agree with you Queen. First thing that should be taken into account is house safety, in case of contingencies, like fire, flood, etc. Everything should be given proper attention and preparation as well. So what you are doing is truly right.
