my motto is save where you can so you can spend where you want... I hate
waste of any kind... food, storage space for useless things, or my time...

as to the stove removal... that depends on how long you plan to live there?
if you intend to die there do it... you might think where you can put a
stove if you decide to sell in future and remodel with that in mind, Lee
