Funny because now that I've actually been in your kitchen, I can see that it looks SO much bigger in the photos than in real life. And I though it looked pretty small in the photos when I first saw it :-) It’s funny that I ran across this post again.

Thanks! aria, maybe when we're older we could afford <em>both</em> a beach locations <strong>and</strong> a wonderful kitchen! sigh. we can dream :-P but, i'm still happy with the beach location, for now. maegan, since we weren't eating anything when i said dad's catch phrase, i didn't do any sighing or belly rubbing. that's only when i eat crab. (which is next to never) ;-) Adam, you've got a great kitchen! all that counter space, and wide open to boot! thanks for the lyrical help, Michelle! and yeah... for the most part the kitchen stays about that clean! unless, of course, i have just finished cooking and am in a hurry to scurry off to work... then it stays a mess till the morning! lea, i don't know what it is about peeling off labels, but i tend to do that with <em>lots</em> of things! i just don't really like to fight with adhesive :-P i think it frustrates me when only the top layer peels off then you're left with that thin layer of mostly adhesive and a little paper that just refuses to budge and you have to scrape it off with your nails, which feels icky! wow. i have issues! so, to get to the point, with some things i just say, what the heck! leave it on. Thanks Kristen! thanks kalyn! i know! we are doing just fine.... better than fine even! i don't doubt that it will be quite some time until we get a dish washer (it's low priority for me in the grand scheme of things) Absolutely Anjali! i definately think that's very important. tyler and i are sooo incredibly luck for all that we've got. thanks sally! :-) unfortunately we're just renting so i don't really i know if the landlord would approve of us remodeling his kitchen! (and frankly, we can't afford to do that for an apartment we don't own!) we're glad you stopped in for a visit! bobby, i only wish the turning dial thingy was a timed cake dispenser! and that it was continuously filled with yummy fresh cakes. sadly, it’s just a spice thingy. i think the adjustable dials are supposed to release a certain amount of whatever spice you put in them at a time. since i get all my spices from the bulk section of my local produce market, i just several different bags in each container (which i will one day get around to labeling). as far as the stove is concerned, i couldn’t even find a brand name on it! it’s so old that it’s worn off. the property manager said that it was the stove/oven that was put in when they built the place in the 40’s (or was it 50’s). i tried to find a way to remove any part of the stove and i couldn’t figure it out. both the burners are on the same side of the stove, and it didn’t matter if i swapped out the heating elements. i will take some close ups so you can see what i’m dealing with soon!

I don't know... do you own your home or are you renting? Because if you own it, then go to the Salvation Army and buy a working stove! Duh. LOL You kids remind me of my kids. You look like you are having fun. Great site you've got here. You kitchen is efficiently designed to save you steps, and that’s a good thing. I don’t know… do you own your home or are you renting?

And nowhere near the ocean either. I'd say you guys are doing just fine. And I won't even consider telling you how old I was when I got my first dishwasher, LOL.

If so or that does not work, take all of the elements off, and the chromed pieces, the top may or may not just lift up. If you can find the info, let me know who the manufacturer is, and a model number. It may be underneath. It seems like the top would lift up after the elements are removed, but that might be too logical. If you really want, take a closer pic of the stove and send it to me. Also are the two non working elements on the same side, or both in the front, back, basically any "pattern?" have you swapped out heating elements to see ifthey may be bad.
