I thought I responded to Bruce, but it apparently got lost in the tubes.
Yeah. You and BigV are right. The boys should report that it's broken. But the adults should do more than just move the stoves into the back of the closet and leave them there for years. And they should definitely inspect the "broken" stoves before deciding in a committee meeting that they should be replaced with new ones. I was glad I was there to stop the madness.
I live in a wealthy area where the parents think nothing of spending money to fix problems and where they know how to write a brief, but tightening a packing nut is beyond them. It's weird sometimes. I benefit from living here amongst them, but it also means there are certain expectations to keep up.
