Thanks, SDG&E

Here's the old O'Keefe and Merritt range that came with the house.  



This stove was listed as working like a charm and it has been the subject of much conversation by everyone who comes to the house.  It's been warm since we took possession and since we had a plumber coming to cap some other gas lines (among other projects), we asked him to re-do the line for the stove.  He was a bit concerned about the safety of the stove so didn't relight the pilot lights.

Mama had an appointment with a vintage stove repair person scheduled for next week, but today SDG&E came and helped us relight the pilots.  The tech also cleaned the lines in the stove and got the one sticky burner working and adjust safety controls within the unit.  He spent so much time on it and left us feeling much more comfortable with the unit so we went ahead and cancelled the $135 appointment with the vintage stove repair company.  He also checked out the hot water heater and tested the house to make sure that everything was fine.  All as a service of the gas company and at no cost to us.
