You're derailing your own thread, Buckaroo. That being said, I think I've seen cabinets where you put your fingers under the door to open it, but I'm not sure I've seen drawers like that. That would driver me nuts. Then when you adapt, you move and have to relearn the normal way. Maybe there was a issue with knob theft. Given this issue and your goofy stove, it sounds like they built those apartments using scavenged mobile home parts. Does the building sit on tires?
Just to let you know, Bobby, the word "rodeo" doesn't necessarily go with campfires and such. What goes with those two is "ranch" type cowboys, not so much "rodeo" type ones. As Faye would say, there is quite a bit of difference between a ranch cowboy and a rodeo cowboy. Ranching is quite a bit harder.
Out of curiosity, what is "Buckaroo"??? Again, that word is defined with ranching, not rodeo. I've never been either, a Buckaroo or rancher. Just to let you know. As far as "relearning" the normal way, we will be very, very glad to!! Guess some things bother some people, while the same things don't bother others.
From the web: A cowboy, especially used of one who breaks broncos; -- used especially in California. A fellow; a guy. A cowboy, specifically, a working cowboy who generally does not do rodeos. I could get used to the overhead cabinet doors not having handles, but the drawers and the base cabinets would drive me nuts. Even then, the food from your hand would get in there and you'd have to remember to get back there when cleaning. It sounds like something someone designed just to be different, not to be functional.
Actually, John, "working cowboys", as in the "ranch" type, have their own rodeo Association today called WRCA (Working Ranch Cowboys Association). So, apparently the web isn't up-to-date with this. We've actually been to a WRCA rodeo. Somewhat different than a regular rodeo, but still interesting, like the Wild Cow Milking event.
Cody, not only was I having a bit of fun but what I wrote is what I think of. That said, you can’t tell me that they don’t have tailgate parties at rodeos and a bunch of grab joints selling grilled foods which, are all prepared by ….fire. Technically, a gas fired grill is a gas stove. And, talk about irony, what Faye would have said would have been off topic and would have had nothing to do with gas stoves or fire.
And here I was beginning to think that Cody was 'having us on' with his stoves that stay hot when off and drawers with no handles add to that hydro not a word apparently used for electricity south of the border and it highlights how little we know of each others life and times. Reminds me of when I first came to Canada from England......
Yeah, it had me confused too. Normally, when we American speaking folks say hydro, it’s indicative of water or in some places, short for hydroelectric when it pertains to the power plant. But okay, now that I know that in the UK and Canada, hydro means electricity, I’ll no longer be confused and have to take a pill to clear up my head.
You bring the gas. I'll bring the matches. And we solved Cody's stove problem the way I solve most things in my life...I just talk about something else. But you knew that...this isn't your first rodeo.
Cody, most kitchen cabinets without knobs have a cut-out area or finger groove for your fingers/hands to open them. We have those in our kitchen but we added hardware to them years ago because I don't like getting fingerprints on the cabinets.
You can get an inverter and use a lead-acid battery or hook it to your truck if you want--and have a long enough extension cord. The gas stove doesn't use much electricity ( or HYDROelectric), so a battery usually runs it fine. Not so with an electric stove. Only a large generator will power those energy consumers.
