New applicances

After a long and rather frustrating phone call this morning, I finally ordered our new oven and microwave. We put in a warranty call on both. All of the appliances in the condo are original, and, while they all work (or they did when we moved in), they don't really work that well. When my parents were here for Thanksgiving, the microwave died. And the oven has a mind of its own. If it feels like heating up, it will. But it really doesn't like to be set at 350.

Luckily, the old microwave and oven will be gone before Valentine's Day, to be replaced by the following new appliances:




















It will be nice to have sleek, new black appliances. The whole wood trim thing just doesn't do it for me, especially when it comes to appliances. It's even nicer that we don't have to completely foot the bill for these appliances. Our warranty company provided us with an allowance for a specific set of appliances but gave us the option to upgrade. We happily took the upgrade (who wouldn't want the wholesale price?).

We'll let you know how installation goes. The cabinet guy who came over today made it sound like we're going to have to do some rewiring to get our oven to function properly. *Sigh* I guess we'll just cross that bridge when we come to it.
