We lucked out again! So far! (But I don't really think it was luck) The worst of the first leg of the storm went south of us, and we never lost power. Sorry to say that parts of Arkansas will be without power for WEEKS! Not just days. It is sleeting now, and more is expected, (round two) but I'm so much more optimistic. The temp is 34°, and the icicles are melting. Mel couldn't get the bus out today if they'd had school, but maybe tomorrow—fingers crossed. He had a field trip rescheduled from tonight until Thursday, and I've rescheduled my endocrinologist appointment until Thursday, too.
On the range dent, the Sears repair called yesterday morning instead of just arriving (good plan). He needed the Model and Serial Numbers on the range. Ha, was that a comedy! He had me on my hands and knees trying to read a label in the bottom broiler drawer with the tiniest print I've ever seen! Of course, I couldn't find the magnifying glass, and I took his number to call back when I got the info. I finally spied another label on the other side of the drawer, with legible print! I got the numbers and called repair back. He was contemplating ordering and replacing the entire front panel. I asked if it was possible to get monitory compensation rather than replacement—the dent was barely noticeable after installing the range, and we could live with it. He answered that it was possible—but he could not authorize it.
I'll make along story shorter by simply saying that I got authorization, and $70 credited to our card. You can see in the pictures that the damage is insignificant, and we are pleased with the deal. I gasped with disappointment when I pealed the film off of the stainless and saw the damage, (close-up shot) but after we installed the range, the dent wasn't apparent without being pointed out.
More later if we do okay with the second bout of weather. More hugs!

Good on weather situation. We bought a stove one time that was in the store with a dent and we got it at a discount price because of that. Like yours, it was hardly noticeable. Love yours by the way!
Glad you at least got $70 back. :]
We're waiting for the last half the storm to pass us. We won't be out of it until Wednesday afternoon.
I'm so thankful they brought my propane yesterday. I was below 5% in my tank. At least now I know I'll still be warm if the ice storm knocks out the electric.
Anyway! Hope your luck holds out! :]
I love your stove and I'm glad to hear you were able to make a deal with them that you were both happy with. I agree you can't even see it. Well the bad weather is finally past for us and Terry is due home tonight. I just hope they have the runways cleared off here in Cincinnati.
