Cool appliances languishing in Council Bluffs!

So good to meet you Dan!

We saw a beautiful set of Avocado Maytag 806's - from about 1969. They needed a little cleaning, but otherwise were mint!

I'll post pictures of the SQ washer I picked up in the Imperial forum...

Dan always finds the coolest things ...

Dan: Sorry to hear about your mom. I hope that her cancer stays in remission.

I remember that ad when it first came out! It was in a magazine that my mom subscribed too. I also remember drooling over that stove and not just because it's in Turquoise, which is my all time favorite color. I love the idea of having the controls on the hood. It would be very hard to pass this one up. And, I live in an apartment!

I love the design of the kitchen. I agree with Veg, those cabinets are nifty (I love the color!) -- even though they don't have any drawers. I love the tool rack over the oven.

Greg: I'm glad that you were able to save the washer and dryer. I hope they both need minimal work to get them up and running.

OK, I couldn't resist it.

I need another stove like a need a hole in the head, and I have no idea how I would get it to Seattle anyhow, but this was just too unique not to snag. Plus, Mom has a big basement, and she's not supposed to go down there ;-)

So here it is. Haven't gotten the wall oven yet, and will post pics of that when available.

Finally, my gift with purchase.

Wow Dan - that is quite the setup there - I'm so glad you saved it. Even though it may be in CB for awhile, I hope you get a chance to play with it soon.

Right On Dan!

They used to have these at my favorite place in Berkeley,
but I only ever saw them in white. Nice sink too, for a
a bonus gift!

Good show, Dan! I knew you were close to gettin them on Saturday;-) Let me know if you need some help picking up the oven.

We also have to plan our wash-in one night this week...
