Megin's Stove Story....

After only a few weeks in our apartment, it became apparent that we would need a new stove. The stove we had was so old that in order to use the oven, we had to figure out the conversion from Celcius to Fahrenheit and it took twice as long to bake something. So one of the missionaries informed us that we could use an old stove that was being stored on the property. We were also told that it should only take 2 days to switch from the old gas stove to the newer (yet still old) electric stove. Since Mike was busy working with the work crews, this became Megin's project (with much help from Al). Well, to make a long story short, the electric stove was so dirty, rusted, and infested with dead cockroaches that we had to completely take it apart, clean it, rust protect it, paint it, and then reassemble it. Then we had to set the apartment up for the electric.... which meant adding a new fuse to our fuse box, putting up the tubes to hold the wires (due to concrete construction, the electrical wire aren't in the walls), stringing the wires through the tubes, and then actually hooking them up to the stove. I learned so much about electricity through this project. Finally, about 3 weeks later, we had a working electric stove! Our stove works great and you would never guess that it was the same stove that we originally took apart because it looks brand new! Thanks Al for all the help and for teaching me so much about electricity! I couldn't have done it without you!
