New Stove

Some more pics from this weeks exertions. First up a very happy picture of Mum playing Domestic Goddess cleaning the fridge. Next one of Dad, equally happy, trying on his chainsaw gloves and helmet, a Birthday present from Mum. Then a picture of the new gas hob once it had been installed and gas-balanced by qualified gas fitter "Gas-Garvey", all legalised, certified and so on. There are big fines to be had in Ireland for messing about with gas installation of you are not registered and you can risk any service engineers from IKEA refusing to look at your hob and, worse, voiding your house insurance should the DIY hob catch fire to the house. Nobody wants too much of that. 4th pic is of Dad and Sparks playing the fool trying to get the range to go. The first trial fire had died a smokey death and filled the room with smoke 'backwards' through the secondary vents. We subsequently discovered that turning a knob to '4' (fully open) was doing precisely zero due to a fault, which is now being sorted under guarantee. Finally a picture of me and Dad as the range was finally sussed and started to produce the kind of heat it was designed for. Deefs
