Stove Saga Final Chapter!
The stoves are here!! And they are set up! And they are operational! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
But I had a few tense moments Wednesday afternoon after they arrived. A number of us were shoveling out the big dining room which was in a disastrous state after the windows were out much of the summer while they were glazed, scraped and re-painted. The scrapings were all over the floor, tracked hither and yon by all the people and mice and chipmunks and squirrels which frequent the building! And there were paint cloths galore and, and, and. You get the idea. It was a daunting mess to tackle it but tackle it we did. In the midst of all that, the stoves arrived. Much shouting and cheering resounded though we kept on working while waiting for them to be unloaded and unveiled.
When I finally got my first look, there sitting in all its "new" glory was a "Garland" range instead of the contracted for "Vulcan." Horror of horrors!! They delivered the wrong stove!! Now what? After alerting Brandon to the sad state of affairs and hounding him a bit, he agreed to call the owner of the company. To make a long story short, the Garland was the one we had contracted for with the same specs as were listed on our paper, but the name was wrong. It was a Garland all the time, while the paper had listed, "Vulcan." Soooo, I agreed as how that would be fine since the Garlands are also good stoves and this one is not a low end model but a higher end one.
When you come to Fairwood, saunter on into the kitchen and have a look. We still have to get all the right racks for the ovens, but hopefully we will be good to go by the time it's time to cook the first big meal next Tuesday.
And that's all for now. At some point I may describe for you the glory of the "new look" in the men's dorm! But for now, Shabbat Shalom!
