Rain Creek Farm We both took the day off work so that we could take our Chambers stove to Houston. Of course there's always a few chores to do first and being the case, David fed the donkeys. This small building is our pump house that contains our well, pump and pressure tank. In a week or two we plan to paint this metal building white. (08.14.02) |

Macy's Classic Stoveworks Here we are at the side-yard entrance of Macy's Classic Stoveworks Company in Houston. As you can see, it takes three men just to tip the stove up on one end so that an appliance dolly can be put into place. Linda grimaces as she looks on. (08.14.02) |

Macy's Classic Stoveworks Everyone is happy to see the stove down in one piece, especially Linda and David. Out of the picture (right) is another dolly that the stove will be transferred to so that it can easily be moved around the shop. Once it was down on that dolly the owner came out with a digital camera and took lots of photographs of the stove, inside and out. (08.14.02) |

Macy's Classic Stoveworks Here's a Chambers Model A stove that's being reassembled in their shop. This is what the top of Linda's stove will look like. The silver rectangle on the left is the griddle/broiler burner with the griddle top removed. Again you can't see it in this photograph, but the back of this stove is identical to ours. The owner tells us that we have a Model A back on a Model B stove. Not entirely uncommon during the late 1930's and very early 1940's. We're told that the stove pictured here is very late 1920's or very early 1930's. (08.14.02) |

Rain Creek Farm When we got home (nearly 11pm) we discovered that another surprise was waiting for us. The label says, "Will Rogers Saddle Company, Washington." (08.14.02) |
