Self Portrait Thursday (10)

I include in the definition of self-portraits when I set the camera controls and hand the camera to someone to take the picture. (and in which case I should be berated: I'd been shooting some action swimming shots and had boosted the shutter speed considerably; I should have slowed the shutter speed somewhat for this photo so the auto-ISO would come down a bit.)

Failed !

I've just received my Fuji Instax 210.
I need to practice with selfies with flash.
(I also need more room and a new closet to tidy up all that gear).

Hi Jet,

Sorry to hear about the serious aggravation with your oven! Broken thing always make us unhappy, but more so when they are expensive appliances that we need for our day-to-day lifestyle. Just be thankful that is not something really important -- like your camera!

It is a personal pet-peeve of mine when items are sold without proper service support -- meaning competent repair technicians and the necessary parts. I'm assuming one or both of these are at play here. Remember this when you make your next appliance purchase -- both the manufacture and the retailer that sold it to you should get a black mark! (or if you prefer, a red or at yellow card)

So, I assume the retailer involved was trying to replace the oven with a different model oven, because they were unable to repair the original. They have to know the specs/dimensions of the oven they sold you, so if the new one was not the same dimensions, they are at fault, not the kitchen cabinets or cabinet installer. Also, forcing a larger oven into the given smaller space is inexcusable, so IMO they should be held accountable for any damages.

The isolation tube you mention is what we would call an electrical conduit. Its purpose it to protect electrical wires from idiots like your repair/install people. If the wires and the insulation on the wires are not damaged, you should be safe to use your cook top. If they were shorted together you would have a circuit breaker trip. But just in case, don't be touching any wires in there without flipping the breaker open first!

Regards,

Kelly
