(ps. they were not dunky bits eaten with toast fingers, they were raw!) sandra (happy owner of a new stove) |

The worker ordered a part but could not put it in for 2 weeks. He returned 2 weeks later but the part had never arrived. He looked again and decided it was something else, took that part out and shipped it off to be fixed. When IT came back, IT was not what was wrong. Finally got the right part one day but had to wait nearly another 2 weeks for him to install it. UGH! I would have sung the heck out of this song! |
