I now have a new stove top after Lachlan destroyed the last one ( well not really, he was just cooking on it when the glass top shattered) but is sounds good!
I can see why people end up getting a new kitchen when an appliance goes- there were all sorts of dramas, matching the hole to the new stove, finding out that the regulations had probably changed since the first stove was put in, so the nearest burner had to be 200mm from the nearest wall otherwise you needed to put up tiles or something similar. Of course we had no matching tiles, or chance of finding any, and how much would it cost to put up 12 tiles and who would do such a small job. Thanks to Lachlan and some advice from the gas plumber and the friendly staff at Bunnings,the Internet, we put in the tiles ourselves- or rather Lachlan did! They don't match the existing tiles, but where they are you don't really notice them and they are similar to the colour of the cupboards. Lachlan also regrouted along the bottom of all the tiles in the kitchen, hung up a knife rack for me, and put in some hooks so we could hang things up and get rid of some of the clutter in the draws and cupboards. He also put some new hinges on a cupboard door, so he is earning his keep in handyman wages at the moment!
