The William cooktop

I'll bet they're more.

I blinked heavily when the front office gal at the dentist's office said she wanted $2,243 to do a root canal, post'n'prep, and porcelain w/ high noble crown on -one- tooth. My jaw is still bruised.

I may wear a mask and go armed into the next medical office. Two can play that game, eh? ;)

I hope you have in in writing on the estimates or designer conversation letters that you were against internals.

Brings back memories.

I had to install a "replacement" microwave into a cabinet in my last house. This included the vent and blower for the stove unit below. Supposedly, you could just pull out the old one and stick in the new one. Perhaps in dreams that would happen. But not in the real world

The biggest problem was that the vent from the microwave was in a different location than the old one. I had to build, from sheet metal, a new vent. To port the new vent to the old hole going out of the wall.

It took about a half hour to pull out the old unit and get the area cleaned up. It took a whole day of screwing around and fabricating parts with minimal tooling to get the new unit installed. It was nice when it was all done. But it was a bitch to install.

I never pay attention to fantasies of "Easy Installs" any more.

Haven't lived this long being naive, C-less ... everything is spec'ed, then built to spec ... you be sure and do the same, cher. ;)

That would seem a fair price for the oft overlooked Optical/Rectal severance surgery. You know the one. The surgery that improves one's s***ty outlook?

You betcha, ma petite. ;)

Good idea! I bet that would work for removing pin feathers from chickens or toasting marshmallows.
