Converting drop in stove to stand alone stove tomorrow.

Rangerscott · 01-22-2011, 01:11 AM

I'm gonna have fun tomorrow.

I get to yank out my mom's drop in stove that looks like it belongs in a nuclear waste land, hack up the counter and bottom piece, then put in a stand alone. I wasn't going to spend $1200 on a drop in stove when stand alones are a LOT cheaper.

Got my jack hammer ready.

I imagine it will be fairly simple. Probably the most difficult part will be rerouting electric or gas lines, if that's even needed. Sawzall and circular saw will take care of the countertop and bottom pieces. Have fun and take pics.

Easy cheesy.

Forgot to take a pic of cutting out the base. There was three 1x4's then particle board on those for the base.
