Had Ray back yesterday. I took the day off to do a few things and got him to come over and put the green stove back together.
So Ray put the three complete elements and dress rims in the stove top. All of them came out of the box they would have been put in about 60 years ago.
Ray had a new powerpoint to replace the one on the control panel that doesn't work.
And he had a brand new clock because he noticed mine didn't work.
He didn't think my cleaning job on the glass panel that protects the oven light was very good, but luckily he had a brand new one.
And new oven door hinges.
He probably spent 5 hours at my place over two visits.
Total cost for parts and labour $400.
Now I just have to get the thing upstairs.
I'll photograph it when it's in position.
He also brought one of his padlocks to show me. It was recent acquisition. I asked him how many he had and he said he stopped counting at 100. And that's just one of his collections. I asked where he kept it all and he said, 'a lot of it's in the house'. I asked him whether there was much pressure on him from the missus to reduce the size or number of the collections and he said there had been a bit of pressure lately because, 'she wants more space for her stuff. But it's just dolls and things. Nothing interesting.'
I think I'll have to pay Ray a visit some time.
