Unexpected Kitchen Expense :(
Goomba
Except...While the electricians and gas line guy were here last week my
husband mentioned that we were disposing of the old range. He asked if
any of them needed a working gas range? Yeah, apparently one would take
it off our hands.
My fancy new range is now in and I went looking for my broiling pans and
other assorted baking sheets and pans that I stored in the bottom oven
drawer....I'm dying to get up and cooking again.
Uh oh....
Damn. Hubby forgot to empty the drawer out in the old range before they
took it!! ALL my good baking sheets, 2 steamer baskets and jelly roll
pans gone!
I would have though thunk that the guy taking the stove home might have
realized we didn't mean for ALL of it to go?? <sigh>

Maybe he didn't look in the drawer, either. Can't you call the guy and
explain the situation?

You can't contact the person that took the stove and explain that you
left your pans in there by mistake, and that you need them?
That's what I would do...

Same problem here! Since when did ovens not come with broiler pans?? I
thought that was standard practice?

We (he!) goofed. I'll just have to order new. I hope whomever ended up

You too?! LOL.. I'm glad it wasn't just us. Moving everything out of the
kitchen is a huge, HUGE undertaking, isn't it?
And until reading your last sentence, I was wondering why you'd store a
door knocker in the oven drawer....? LOL
I bought another folding metal steam basket today while at the Px. $5.
I doubt the baking sheets will be that reasonably priced?

He probably never looked. OTOH, take some comfort that the guy's wife
thinks you are the greatest person in the world giving her all those pans.
Maybe she'll bake some cookies for the kids.

Second-hand stores have lots of broiler pans with racks. Check it out.

Hey.. there is some comfort in that idea. I just hope he did bring them
home and not trash them? They were all great pans. The round ones were
this neat "texture" design that was supposed to help keep things from
sticking. I need to find some more of them. The jelly roll pans were
from restaurant supply house shopping, so I imagine I'll be able to find
them again easily. I've never purchased a broiler pan before
(specifically) as they always came with the ovens.

I looked for those suckers for a while, too ... there was so
much stuff I didn't notice they were missing. Then I remembered
where I stored them.

I found a couple at Tuesday Morning once for a good price. Just think,
you won't be redoing your kitchen again, what are the odds you'll lose
the next ones ... you'll have them a long time.

It shouldn't. You were the ones that left them in there...no fault of
the workman.

Hey, what do you have to lose on seeing if the workman can return
them? It's an honest mistake....you left them in there. I sure
wouldn't go out to buy new stuff.... I would get them back. It's
your stuff, after all!!!!

LOL, one of the neatest features on my new cabinets are the "toe kick"
drawers which if you didn't know existed, you'd .....never know it was
there! We're calling it my "dope drawer" LOL
I've loaded it with infrequently used items such as skewers, rolling
pin, etc.
I wish I had more of these bad boys.. take a peek-

Not sure if accepting cast off appliances as a "tip" is encouraged? All
I know is we were happy not to have to pay someone to haul it off and
dispose of it. I have so much in my garage and driveway needing
disposal. What a PITA.
Anyone need a decent refrigerator? LOL

What do you have to lose by calling to see if you can get them back?
I guess it just seems a bit silly to me, to not even check to see if
you can get them back.
When I put all my stuff in storage years ago, I gave my old computer
to one of the movers. He was interested in it. I wiped it first, and
then just gave it to him. Didn't seem to be a problem with me giving
it to him.

It's not as if the workman was subcontracting his services to bypass the
boss (as some do). One of them simply said "sure" when the stove was
offered. I'm sure this sort of thing happens all the time in their line of
work.

I like that drawer idea a lot!!
I also like the idea of built-in baseboard vacuums (I'm sure there's a
proper name for them). You just sweep crumbs up to the baseboard, kick a
switch and they're gone. Probably more trouble cleaning them out than
they're worth, though.

That seems to be the consensus. Goomba seems to think whoever accepted the
stove will get in trouble. I'd bet not.

I hear ya, I can't just put stuff like that at the curb. I have to deal
with it, and hiring people to haul it is not cheap. I always mention
if (whatever) is still working, maybe someone would like it. Last
year the tv delivery guy was thrilled to get a big tv that still works,
and I was happy it got a new home.
Don't get me wrong, the appliance store took the old stuff
anyway, but I have on occasion been left with things.
One thing I did a couple of times was rent a truck, one of those
$19.95 a day deals that's really about $50 and get rid of a bunch
of stuff at the recycle center/wherever they take stuff in your
town. Maybe you could do that, clean out your garage.

1-800-JUNK. (That's not a joke!). When I moved into my apartment I had my
own refrigerator. They took theirs out (and deducted a few bucks off the
monthly rent) and I used mine until it finally died (it was close to 20
years old). When it *did* die I was stuck with getting rid of the old one.
Called 1-800-JUNK and they sent a couple of guys over with a big truck.
They hauled off the refrigerator (to an appropriate disposal place) and an
old overstuffed chair for under $100.

I checked into them and their prices were considerably higher
than that here. For one thing, I think our dumping fees are much
higher, though I'm sure they sell appliances to metal scrap dealers.
It sure would have been easier to call someone.
I had other things to do, too, pick up shrubbery, take a door screen
to be fixed, all stuff where it was handy to have a truck. Got my
money's worth.

You didn't have a dumpster for your remodel? I had to have one,
the kitchen was torn down to the studs. How else to get rid of all
that crappy paneling?? Heh.
And I called my neighbors and said they could put some stuff in
there if they wanted. Get together with the neighbors and rent

I think that's true in a lot of cases! I suppose people assume "free" means
"broken". Still, in Michael's case I'm sure he specified it was in working
order.

Michael,
You might consider giving it to, say, Habitat for Humanity or some other
charity that runs a "resale" shop. That would also (probably) get you a
tax deduction. (Claim it is worth a thousand bucks!) The charities are
also usually more than happy to pick it up.
Just a thought,

Wishful thinking... those non-profit orgs ain't stoopid... lucky to
get a receipt for $25 on a used oven... and they're not gonna send a
truck to pick up one item. Where I live large kitchen appliances are
best put out at the curb with the trash, my private trash guy charges
$10 to pick up a stove... last time I got lucky, someone glommed my
old stove before trash pick-up day... seems in rural areas folks ain't
picky, any furnishings I put out gets picked up in under an hour. Old
computers I donate to the local school, I have to deliver and last I
delivered a PC they were giving their standard $50 receipt, and that
was for a working PC with monitor, keyboard, and speakers... was way
outdated capacity/speed wise but schools can use them, plenty good
enough for teaching purposes.

Once a month our private-pay rubbish collectors have a large item pickup
day. They will pick up ranges, fridges, large furniture items, large TVs,
etc. this does not cost extra. All you have to do is get it to the curb
on time. Our city imposes fines for any rubbish placed at curbside (even
in standard containers) sooner than the morning of pickup.

Why not... I'd think most folks would assume, since YOU left it there,
you meant for your old stoveware to go with your old stove... seems
perfectly logical to me.
I used to volunteer a few hours a week reconditioning furniture at a
local thrift shop run by the VFW. You'd be amazed at what was found
inside estate furnishings... very often jewelry and cash in hidden
compartments, old family photos and important documents are very
common. In most cases all the clothing and personal effects were
still in the homes of the deceased when the thrift truck rolled up to
empty the home... people would sew money into the linings. Whenever
possible heirs were notified but about half the time never arrived to
pick over the "things". The rule was to notify legal of any
valuables, but very often it was finders keepers. When people get old
and ill they no longer remember what assets they own, let alone what
valuables they have stashed in their homes. Their heirs have no idea
and don't check very carefully if at all... most times the heirs no
longer live nearby and so liquidate the estate property sight unseen,
they simply sign documents mailed by lawyers. More often than most
people realize there are bank accounts, often sizable, that go
unclaimed and with no activity for however many years is the statute
and then must be turned over to the State. Very often the listed
beneficiary(s) predecease the account owner or can no longer be
located. And even these days most folks have no will. A good lawyer
will always advise folks to list an organization, like a humane
society, as a contingency beneficiary.
Goomba, if you really want your stuff I suggest you call rightaway...
they may not want your old used things and are under no obligation to
keep them safe, they may already be out in the trash. For all you
know they decided they don't want your old stove and either gave it to
a third party or put it out to the curb, maybe never brought it home,
coulda been dropped off at the county dump. The workman might have
thought he had a good find but many women don't want someone's used
stove and cookware.

Back home I think it was $25 for the trash guys to pick up oversized items
(like chairs or sofas) and you had to schedule it. They wouldn't do it on
your regular pickup day. They wouldn't take appliances at all.

I can't imagine why they would get into the soup (OB Food). I could
imagine there would be trouble if the recipient refused to return the
items after a polite request and explanation if the refusal were
reported to the recipient's employer, though.

Where I live, the city will schedule up to one "major pickup
day" per year per residence. There are some restrictions,
of course, but you can mostly get rid of your bulky items
that way.
The major hassle is when you do this, and start piling
stuff onto the curb, casual passerby start adding their
own stuff including prohibited items. So you kind of
have to keep your eye on it, and be prepared to harass
people.
Actually it's kinda fun.

No dumpster here. The contractor removing the cabinets hung a few in our
garage for use out there and he hauled off the others to the dump.
Somehow we still ended up with two box cabinets to dispose of? Perhaps
they were placed into the garage hoping to fit in and they didn't?
Appliances were all working. I did manage to get someone to haul the
dishwasher off (Sears delivery guy, I recall? He wasn't thrilled to do
it but he did it anyway). The range went with either the gas man or one
of the electrician's guys. The fridge still is in the garage (running,
as my hsuband doesn't want it to develop an odor) but it won't fit there
permanently. It is too large, I have a standing freezer out there
already and I want my car to go back in eventually....<sigh>

In Blacksburg they have Spring and Fall Cleanup days. Basically, they
will pick up pretty much anything you can haul to the curb by Monday
morning of the cleanup week for your section. They won't take old tires
or hazardous waste (like old paint), but pretty much anything else.
I once had them haul away the rubble from the old front stoop I had
jackhammered into pieces. No charge, just have to wait for the right
week to put it out there.
Now any appliance or furniture or stuff that might even be remotely
useful will get picked up by scavangers in pickup trucks before the
town crews come around. Some will ask if it's OK to take it if they
happen to see you, but don't count on it. I put a really old, but
still functional, washer out one time and an older couple in a pickup
truck seemed very happy when I told them that it worked. Metal of
almost any sort disappears quickly these days.

I've seen that, too. I need a stepstool as well, but the long pair

I was, uh, amused by Sheldon's comments. I use my own mini van every
week or two to pick up items like stoves, dish washers, window air
conditioners, and even refrigerators for the local Habitat resale shop.
Every Saturday they schedule their 25 foot box truck to pick up
donations around town. Occasionally when they are short handed I
volunteer (well, my wife volunteers me) to drive that truck. (The truck
is easier on my arthritic back since it has a lift gate.)
Yeah, we have to pay to get rid of appliances that have gone belly-up.
But if it works, there are always people who can use it ... "new
americans" and old ones alike. Wishful thinking, indeed.

It was a working stove. The person who took it knew it worked. I doubt

Yes, the Ozark lakes are great. I presume your mom and brother were on
Lake of the Ozarks. The SO and I drove through there a couple of summers
ago and then wandered along the Missouri river toward St. Louis through
the wine country (the Missouri Weinstraße? (Well we passed a bunch of
vineyards ... in very pretty territory.) Ended our tour in St. Louis,
shopped at Viviano's, and headed home.
I moved to Fayetteville in the mid '70s to teach at the university.
Figured I'd head back home to Ohio when I retired. Well 3 1/2 years ago
I gave my last lecture and I'm still here. I know now that I'll never
leave this place. (When will I learn never to say never?)

I met the nicest folks from Boston Mountain Rural Health Center in
2006. We were part of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grant program
on "patient-directed healthcare". Meetings in San Diego, Atlanta and
Miami. Hard work, steep learning curve, lots of fun, and expenses
paid.

i thought weed connoisseurs just took a small amount into their mouths to
detect the flavor notes and blew it out. kinda like wine tasters.
