KCee I've actually never had to buy an oven and didn't realize they cost that much

We just dropped $4k on a combo oven/microwave......eeesh.

      KCee fair point - it's entirely possible you can't get a drop-in replacement part anyways. 30 years is a pretty good service life for any appliance in the first place! Don't think anybody would blame you for going new.

        Sadly that doesn't seem that bad. For just a plain electric oven I don't see anything less than $3K.

            Our last oven purchase was 9 years ago, so we were sticker shocked. 😵‍💫

              Ho'd some stuff today at a PIAS. Nice Cleveland RTX 588 SW, found a Nike SQ 7 iron in NEW condition for $20 to replace the one that my grandson lost (🤬), a MINTY set of Tommy Armour 855 Silver Scots, 3-SW with new grips, and a nice Cally X-Hot 5w.

              Dude… 30 years old… you got your moneys worth. Although expensive, a new one will be more efficient… you’re due, I’d have to agree with the wife on that one.

              Two Encore azalea bushes that I just spent an hour digging holes, prepping fill, and planting. Went to get my wheelbarrow and had to battle to the death with a large black widow spider that had taken up residence in it. Then had to use my reciprocating saw to cut through a bunch of roots from the foundation bushes that used to be in the planting location while digging the holes.

                Rickochet walked by one of these yesterday in the rough 👇

                Stopped, looked back and went back and picked it up. Cannot imagine ever putting it in play. If I hadn't been right next to it with my eyes directly on it, there is no way it would have been spotted!

                    Walterjn I’m still here. 💪 Also saw a large wolf spider, but he wasn’t squatting in any of my equipment, so he got a pass. I am disappointed that he didn’t do his job and get rid of the black widow for me though.

                        sdandrea1 You don't. But I did like your post about hating spiders.

                        I don't hate spiders, but do have a personal vendetta against the black widows I find on or near the house. Although I won the fight yesterday, I lost to one several years ago. I was trimming a bush and felt something bite the inside of my forearm. Looked down just in time to see the red hourglass crawling under a leaf on the bush. Didn't have a huge reaction to it. I felt a little queasy for awhile and honestly think that was more me being worried about the bite than it was a neurological reaction. The bite site itself looked like a big mosquito bite with two punctures, but turned dark after a day or two and stayed that way for a couple of weeks. No real serious issues either neurologically or in tissue damage though. Out in the wild I'll leave them alone, but if I see one close by home it's gonna die. Love many kinds of spiders though, especially wolf spiders, jumping spiders, and garden spiders.
