I'd take on such a project, but then, I've got a background
of working with natural gas and propane. Like the others
suggested. Take on the job daytime while the stores are
open. Always some stupid part you end up needing. Pipe dope
is a good idea, leak check, and so on. The flex hose is ten
bucks or so, worth every penny to replace it. Now's your
chance to scrub and polish the floor under the oven, which
seldom if ever gets scrubbed and polished.

Ask the guys at the store for advice. Overall, the job isn't
really killer dificult.

We'll be buying a new gas oven soon. The local appliance
store wants
a few hundred bucks to deliver and install. I have a truck
big enough
to haul it and neighbors to help get it in the house.

How difficult is it to install the new oven? Some neighbors
say it's
just a matter of shutting off a valve behind the oven,
unhooking the
coupling, and rehooking the new oven to the coupling, using
adapters
if necessary. I don't imagine the assembly of the oven and
stovetop
parts will be that difficult.

What say you folks?
