its a minefield

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was going to buy a new one - all singing dancing with power flue fitted 10K then AGA say heres a £1000 off due to recession s0 £9.....

Then we had supper on NY day with some friends who say 'why oh why are you buying new?'

So then i wonder why i am?

why am I?

BUt i look on the internet and cannot even find where to buy re conditioned ones - bar ebay which is just not an option really

Advice from thosed more learned than me PLEASE!

Thanks

I don't think I would miss the fourth oven.... but I would miss the warming plate space. I think the 3 ovens are quite a lot cheaper to run, as well as cheaper to purchase so it is worth considering. Is your kitchen huuuuuuge? I somtimes think two oven-sized (same as 3 oven) Agas look a bit 'should have tried harder' in a huge space.

thanks woman in the attic

went to look (again) today and they are £700 cheaper - why bother

dp said he would miss warming plate and they did not look substantial enough!

these people are good apparently

wow woman in attic THAT looks good value!

You can always have the top re-enamelled in black and get new chrome lids. Then it will look really spanking new.

Can anyone tell me how noisy a powered-flue Aga is?

I am thinking of buying a 4-oven Aga. I had planned to use a normal flue through the existing chimney in our house but do not think that I can do this because of construction problems. Powered-flue would appear to be the only option.

not at all noisy actually Brutushog
a hum

I was dreading it and since listening in in friends houses `i find them quite homely!

Hey... NOA...
so? Have you got one?

NOOOOOO
not yet!!!

can you believe it - and on monday at 5 pm they went up in price!!

dp is currently up a ladder painting the vast room that will be my kitchen

the man who is making my kitchen is skiing

and i am still designing and planning but not ordered the beast yet!

NOOOOOO!!!!
we started talking about this in January!!
Ah well,... at least things are plodding along.It always takes 3 x the time you think
Bless your DP, surely he's not up a ladder now?

he iS!!

we always decorate late - self employed and a lot of dcs!

the room is huge ..HUGE there is a lot of painting to do and it is the only chance!

Bless!
You lucky lucky lady ,... we too are SE, but the only thing I can persuade dh to do late at night is guzzle wine and snore on the sofa.

daffodingles you need to crack your whip!

well..., I'm off to the bedroom to try it
night night

good night and good luck!

for any poor soul who cares....

tomorrow is THE DAY!!!

9 am sharp - the beast is arriving!

All the very best of luck.

We have a Rayburn and it makes succulent meat (so my family tell me - I'm veggie) delicious bread (I have three loaves cooling downstairs) and is just such a lovely, lovely thing.

thankyou spidermama

I am seriously thinking about bread as my offspring love their carbs.... do you make it from scratch or buy one of those packets?

do you have a tin with AGA on the side ?

Hiya....
you finally did it!!!!!
Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly tomorrow

PaulaYBF I make it from scratch. This is going to sound incredibly wanky but I make three one pound loaves at a time and I always bring something to the dough when kneading. It's such a robotic, rythmic movement, I sort of meditate on a subject while kneading. Depending on the subject, I can get quite vigourous!

What colour is your Aga?

spidermama - sounds wonderful and therapeutic tbh but not sure i have time...

aga very boring pewter!

Ingles ENFIN! lets hope i like it!

cant believe you still dont have one ria

are you getting new or reconditioned? and is your Dh still up a ladder?

talk to me about paint colours, style of units furniture, worktops etc

I've discovered the urgent need for a marble topped island in my kitchen since getting the Rayburn. Because you can't just turn off the gas and leave a pan on, you need plenty of surface on which to put hot pans.

How's it going notanotter?

Thanks for thinking of me spidermama!

All going well ish although v slow start due to not flat floor! Aga looks pretty although funny lines and bumps in enamel front stressing me a bit but i like to pay waaaaay to much attention to irrelevant minutiae

they have sort of half set it up but best part of tomorrow as well from what i can gather!

Kristina - aga is new four oven pewter with aims ( which was free) i seemed o only find re conditioned for 2/3 the price of new and as i got aims free i plumped for that in the end

Kitchen is shaker very very plain and not to everyones taste....i took my inspiration from plain english kitchens - but lord knows what it will end up looking like [eeek emotion]

i am painting it an off grey/white/cream and having a very boring granite i think.....

the whole of the kitchen is one cupboard basically - just one floor to 2.5 metre housemaids cupboard which is one whole wall....

very little worktop just island..

the through room looks dreamy though - very pleased so far - just pb white and i have bought a great picture

'hello' 'is anyone there?' have i bored you all enough

Hellooo PYBF, I am interested in your kitchen.I am craving a new kitchen (Gawd I am so middle aged)But we may have an extension so can't re-jig the kitchen yet.I really want a proper stove as I miss my old one (we lived on a boat before moving here).Your kitchen sounds fab.
