Back in my element

Today's items included such fun times as a garbage dump/charity shop/grocery shopping/library/return item to store/paint/clean/laundry/paint/laundry/paint afternoon.
This evening though, I accomplished one of the tasks I had put off until I could actually take a moment, pull out the stove, unplug same, and replace the element. To do this, I needed to have a sleeping baby. So during the hockey game (it's currently Leafs 5, NJ 4, I dare not look), I took this task in hand, and prayed. Hard.

You see, the plate with the model number is worn off, so it was a 'best guess' for the right element. So I took a deep breath, plugged everything in, screwed the backplate on, and plugged everything back into the power. With no small amount of trepidation, I spun the dial, and HUZZAH! (I swear I heard angels sing.) Heat.
While I curse this stove regular-like, it is still quite serviceable, so instead of a $800 new one, we spent $30 to repair the old one. Not bad for comes-with-house stove I'd say.
And since I'm pretty proud of myself, and don't really have anything more to post until I reveal my evil works to my husband Friday, I'm sharing my lovely stove and oven photos with you all here.
