Thing For Sale!

Posted: April 15th, 2010 | Author: ab |

I just saw cute Morgan’s oven, TV, paint dilemma on her site, and remembered: hey, we need a new stove too. So I thought, well maybe I can sell this (awesome, antique, perfectly-working) thing with my Internet powers. I only use my powers for good, people!

Perhaps you would like a picture.

The stove is a Chambers Model 90C, and from what I can tell, it dates from 1950 - 1955. It belonged to the previous owner’s grandmother. All burners, the well and the oven work. The lever that controls the broiler does not work, but could be easily repaired. (Manuals are available for download).

I would like it if prospective buyers lived within driving distance. That is because the stove weighs approximately 36 million pounds. Make an offer in the comments or email me at abchao at hashai dot com.

The end!

My boyfriend Nick Olsen has BROUGHT IT in the new issue of Lonny. The whole issue’s pretty amazing, actually.

Sigh. Nick, you’re a DIY dreamboat.

I have nothing new to show you yet, Internet, but I will tomorrow! The password is: TILE.

In the meantime, please enjoy this photograph of Ed, our amazing foreman on the job. He is super sweet and a genius and we need his hands on everything.

PS. Miss Mad is home from the hospital and doing GREAT. Thank you for all of your good wishes!
