Wish I would have kept it. Still works for our renters with no problems and I liked it better than the nicer one I replaced it with. The old one will probably outlive the one I have! Knock wood. Now that I've said that we'll probably get a call telling us the stove quit! :)<br />Laura @ <a href="http://thesweetsimplethings.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">The Sweet Simple Things</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-87124588035745149342013-04-07T12:40:28.059-05:002013-04-07T12:40:28.059-05:00Isn't it always the way things seem to go all ...Isn't it always the way things seem to go all at once !
