Last week the big front burner of our cooktop went out. The back big burner has never worked since we bought our house, but we didn't really need it anyway. But now we are down to only two little ones, and this is making it difficult to cook.
It's a 36 inch cook-top, and the cheapest ones run about $400 new. We have an oven that is set into in the wall, but it's not in that great of shape, either. If we spend the $400 on the cooktop and then the oven goes out, it will cost at least $1000 to replace the oven.
So it makes more sense just to buy a range, because those cost as much as the cooktop and we will take care of both at the same time. However, we'd have to pull out the cabinets where the oven is built in, and that slot is only 28 inches wide. The ovens are 30.
We've been trying to figure this out all week. Erick has a week of vacation starting Monday, so he's going to try to do something to the kitchen, but we're not sure what. We did have another idea of putting it in a different place, but that's going to take a lot of remodeling.
Oh, what to do, what to do?

Cut down the cabinets a few inches and put in the range?
When my in-laws got a new fridge that didn't quite quite my father-in-law cut part of the cabinet.
