When Josh leaves school he is unsure whether he wants to do construction brick laying or electrical but he knows he wants to go to college and do a trade. So far we have looked at Southend and Chelmsford college for him and have Basildon booked up next month.
Anyway Tina said it would be good for him to help me fit the new oven yesterday if he wants to get in to the trades. The old oven had done well lasting 23 years with just replacement bulbs and heater elements, but it was continuously tripping out the downstairs electrics and thus time to bite the bullet and replace it.
I didn't let Josh do any of the wiring for obvious reasons, but he did help me to unpack the oven and then lift it in to position. In hind site I should have allowed him to screw it in as well. As you can see I was teaching him all the good health and safety habits of home DIY including bare feet and a nice arched back on that lift.

| But we got it in without any injuries. Just a sweaty back for me crawling inside the unit to re-do all the wiring. |

| Ta-da, after 23 years we have a new oven nd the chrome finish matches the dark cupboard doors nicely. Job well done. Hob will need replacing next! |
