On the whole...

My life. It does not suck.

New stove...

My stove is old. It has been slowly dieing for a while now. The elements don't auto-light, and now the oven has stopped working. So I need a new stove. And, while I like using a gas stove, unfortunately you have to have an (expensive) professional come in and uninstall the old (disconnect) and reconnect the new. Two visits. Both, essentially, trivial (from what I can see that would need doing). First estimate for those two visits: $270.

I wonder if I can do it myself. It can't be more complicated than: close the valve; disconnect piping. Reconnect piping; open the valve. Are there natural gas police out there that would get me if I do it myself?
