Friday night was easy.... too easy, as it turned out. Mr. Smeddley had already looked at the stove on Thursday night and declared it was easy enough to pull out. And, indeed, it was. Unhook the vent tube and tug, and that was it. An action shot:
Proof of two things, as far as anything on the internet is proof: I do, indeed, have a husband, and on a rare occasion he actually does work. ;) No, seriously, I know I like to say I can do anything, but this could not have been done without him. I need to bake him some cookies. Or something.
Anyway, we originally thought we could leave the vent and motor in place. There was nothing wrong with it, so why not? Well, let me tell you why. The old stove simply plugged into the motor, just like a lamp in a wall outlet. But the new stove - it had to be different. It had a special fancy connector. So the old motor had to come out.
( More photos - including the shiny new stove - and the rest of the saga behind the cut, to spare your f-list )
