My Countdown

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

Not much happening thanks to my mind changing itself!

Soooo....we haven't gotten any further than the day we signed the contract, thanks to me!  LOL  At this point i'm DONE with changes because I finally realize im WAY over thinking stuff!

So since there no work...no hole...no framing...no nothing...  I figured Id share my appliance choices  :)  This excites me ...probably more than it should  :)   What are other bloggers picking?  Share your ideas because this took me forever to decide on after months of research!

First up...my baby...my induction range!  (I want the Viking one but its 7k!!  hubby wont go for it...dont know why :)  With this beast you can rapid boil a quart of water in 101 seconds and it stays cool so you can cook with a paper towel between the pot and the cooksurface without it burning!

  2. Well some of them are. Like the dishwasher and the microwave. That coupled with a GE double oven (which I loved) was over $3300 as an option. We first had that put in...then did a bit of reaserch and found we can probably get them for much less than that. Plus I REALLY want an Induction range, which RH didn't offer. We had this package plus a fridge that they were charging $1950 for. Over 5k for appliances was just out of our comfort zone. Especially when we would be rolling it in the mortgage and would be paying for them LONG after they have served their time. We have an excellent Sears Outlet down here that we have bought all our other appliances from through the years and they are dirt cheap because its a return (but still new in box), or has a scratch on the side, or something silly like that that we dont care about.
