I forgot to mention, I was told the GE Profile still comes in black. If anyone has that one and is happy with it please comment. It has been so long since I researched this I forgot what the difference between the Monogram and the Profile was. I guess I need to start over.

I'm bumping this up just for emotional support. Has anyone else had these days--just can't function because of the stress from remodeling?

Oh, you're in one of those days right now that you described on jrueter's thread. So sorry you're having a hard time. I am sorry I don't know anything about those ovens to give you any advice, but (((((((hugs))))))). Please try to hang in there and remember what you started with! It already looks so much better and the oven issue will eventually be resolved and you'll be able to move on to better things.

I'm having that kind of stress from designing the floor plan of a home we want to build. My kitchen is most important. The home will be an open floor plan. Tried an architect (and lost a lot of money) who did his own thing and not ours. Can't find a decent kitchen designer. Can't find a decent "any" planner. No one actually listens!

We have the Chief Architect software and my husband is an engineer that has the knowledge to put our home into blueprints. However, he isn't a cook and admits he isn't help in the kitchen design process as he doesn't understand it. If I can draw it out exactly, he can put it in the software.

I can't function anymore because of the kitchen delemna and am extremely cranky from lack of sleep over it.

countrygal - Yikes! I can totally relate to the lousy time you are having right now and I am so sorry you are dealing with this frustration. I wish I could help you with the problem regarding the range - best I can suggest is to maybe call other appliance places or search the internet - maybe someone still has the model you want in stock. And your dealer should pay any difference in cost for goofing on this. In the meantime, like jsweenc said - try to remember where you started, focus on the progress and realize that while you may take a different road to get there than you imagined, you *will* reach your goal of a new kitchen. How great will that be?

jsweenc & jrueter - thanks for the encouragement. Yes, I know I've come a long way and eventually it will all come together. Sorry about the pity party.

sandy - I'm just going to send you a hug because I understand. Sorry I can't help with the designing. Have you posted here on GW for input? There are some that are absolutely wonderful with that on this forum.

With ovens the Profile and Monogram are OFTEN the same oven with a different panel, logo, price tag and better support. That's certainly the case with GE MWs. I would check the particular models you're interested in and see if the features are pretty much identical - you can also call GE and ask them. Another option is the keep the SS oven - many people mix and match black and SS appliances.

Not sure how I posted that twice. Sorry!

No need to be sorry either about asking for encouragement or posting twice. I've done both!
