The broken stove

A year ago, and in the end of the season of 2017, our stove decided it had enough and gave up. To get spare parts would cost more than to buy a new one and therefore we decided to do a re-make the whole kitchen. The old stove, or should we say "kitchen island", was a combined stove + sink, plus a never ever used fridge. We didn't even knew if it was installed correctly from the beginning, so we took the safe before the unsafe and through that away too.





 


With all the old stuff away, we had to plan how to fit the new kitchen and also, how to save as much as the old woodwork as possible. The bench lid had previously rested on the stove, now we had to build up a framework to keep the old cover up solution.

The Gullholmesnipan had to different versions, one open as my previous one and one with a build similar to Skäreläja. I managed to get one older Gullholmesnipan in plastic, and a wooden build. My plan was to renew both all wooden parts as also the old engine (this time it was Albin 011). However, one year later my life took another turn, from Marstrand on the Swedish West Coast to Finland and the Gulf of Finland. A couple of months after our move, the new owners had a disastrous incident when the engine boiled. But like Skäreläja, an upgraded Gullholme snipa is also coveted and valuable. As you see, it clearly reminds of a Skäreläja. ...
