When we last left our intrepid new homeowner, he was considering having gas installed in the kitchen. Let’s join the adventure in progress….
The builder says $3,500 to run gas to the kitchen. I am skeptical. I call a private gas fitter who confirms that this is probably more than double what it should cost. I can’t get the private guy in until the builder is finished, at which point I will need to OK the work with the Condo Board, which isn’t even established yet (and may not be for months).
Sigh.
Always looking for the silver lining, I went back to the appliance dealer. I found a nice gas BBQ for my balcony: $879. I looked at the price tag on the stove included with my basic appliance package: $879.
“Hey,” I said to the dealer. “I have a crazy idea.” I explained my situation, and he agreed to swap the BBQ for the stove, so that I can wait until the whole kitchen-gas thing gets resolved before I make my stove decision.
Cool. I love BBQ cooking. I just have to figure out how to make cookies in there.

That’s cool — but what if you don’t this resolved for a couple of months? That is a lot of frozen dinners or eating out.
