Hi Shaun,


 RH> several times; the first time, when I saw the stove, I was taken back
 RH> some years. It was exactly the same one as my mom had had. Dad had put

 SH> That was a fluke for sure!

Quite the surprise. She'd mentioned it a few times but without too much
of a description. Took seeing it in person to know it was the same as
mom's.


 RH> in a new electric stove when he built the house in the mid 50s. About
 RH> 1976 she had the kitchen partly remodeled, put in a new stove, sink,
 RH> fridge and cabinets. Don't know what she did with the old stove but it
 RH> had some interesting features.

 SH> The old ones were interesting.  My grandmother had a 50's era kitchen,
 SH> I am going to ask Mom if she has any pictures as I can't remember
 SH> much, but I do remember her range had two ovens one above the burners
 SH> and one under the burners (in the normal spot).

At times I wish I had two ovens, not so much now but when the girls were
still living at home. The oven I liked the most was in the post housing
on Fort Hood--it was built into the wall. Stove top was a counter top
model, IIRC, gas. Our older daughter's kitchen has a stacking built into
the wall microwave on top, oven on bottom unit and a counter top almost
professional gas cook top. The oven doesn't seem to be as big, maybe
because putting the microwave on top limits its size.

 RH> electric, with a smooth cook top. First one of those I had in GA,
 RH> military quarters. Found out I have to hold on to the handle of the
 RH> pot/pan while I'm stirring so it won't wander off.

 SH> My daughter has one of those smooth tops.  I prefer the older electric
 SH> one we have, but I'm also used to it.  (She lives 3 floors below us in
 SH> same building, but her apartment is a recent re-model).  Our apartment
 SH> is right out of 1977.  LOL

Any chance your unit will be remodeled any time soon? They may be
waiting to do yours until you move out, before working on it; that seems
to be the way things work.


 RH> Or wear out the measure marks on the glassware. I found out that
 RH> putting the glass measuring cups in the dishwasher wore off the marks
 RH> over time so I replaced them, washing the new ones only by hand. The

 SH> No dishwasher here, but marks wear off anyway, I find showing the
 SH> ingredient the cup works while I eyeball amounts. LOL

Get a fine point paint pen and mark the outside. Don't know how well
nail polish would work but a paint pen should do the trick.
