When the microwave died a few months ago (before this mess) we got the current stainless version of our 21 year old GE.

When this happened, getting the "matching GE stainless appliances was indicated. I'm afraid of the stove, have not tried it yet, good news is it was on closeout for under 500! (was 1k)

You are not shopping at the right place for Bosch then. I was able to get the top of the line one for only $200 more than the one you pictured from GE.

I replaced my entire kitchen with all Bosch during COVID. Been extremely happy with everything.

What I want in the kitchen is meaningless, the Wife wanted these GEs (ones that matched the new microwave she chose)

I have never had the balls to say it in my Wife's proximity, I'm betting there would be an adverse reaction.

I don't care how bad GE is, no way they won't last the few years we have left here so it's fine with me.

Anyone have countertops delivered/installed by Home Depot? Our appointment is supposed to be tomorrow, I asked him about an hour ago for an eta & he said he is still waiting for them to give it to him. At worst shouldn't it be 7am-7 pm prior & then a better window day of?

wow, that’s good progress, I generally get to hear the “ we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes”…

I always want to ask when do you have the expected call volumes? 25 years ago?

Counter install wasn't. The guy from Home Depot came. He is measuring.

The contractor measured & sent them his numbers, they ignored them & are here with a laser thing.



It generated this...



Contractor said 5-7 days, this guy said 3-4 WEEKS!

GAAAAA

We had a major water event at work a few years ago [pipe burst & ran for a while before getting noticed], Coworker happened to be working late, but took a while to find the main shutoff.
We had to cut about 2 ft of drywall from the bottom of every office in the building. Quick & cheap [I assume] repairs & you can see where they did a poor job floating the drywall and out breakroom countertops weren't really re-fit properly and have some vertical movement in a few places.

Hopefully 3rd time is the charm.

Dropped the Tree off again to have the valve cover sealed, #1 spark plug tube has been leaking since they "fixed" the cam tower seal in April of '23. They "fixed it again in April .



This was interesting.

Pics from the 3rd valve cover reseal.

They think there is an irregularity in the spark plug tube.

No idea, I just hope it's fixed.

Is over 20 minutes excessive for a test drive?

That's like if I called your 335 a 328.

Sooooo it has been determined the tubes are part of the head.

I'm thinking no thanks, not wanting them to pull the head.

We are of sound mind.
Which is also a bad thing.
Numbing was helpful but also detrimental.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
