On Saturday we got our new appliances delivered!  I haven’t had much of an opportunity to use them yet, but so far we are very pleased.  The dishwasher is much quieter then our previous one.  We also decided to keep the old refrigerator in the garage, so the extra space is very nice.  The new range is a significant upgrade from the previous one.  This has both a standard and convection oven.  There is also an easy open rack in the oven that pulls out automatically when you open the oven door.  The range has a bridge element that combines two burners to allow for a skillet, there is also a power boil burner for quickly boiling water.  I’m excited to begin using the appliances more.  Now I just need to get new pots and pans!
