Barbara starts to feel the pressure in this episode, as she is left singlehandedly to clean and scrub a newly acquired rusty cast iron range/stove/wood burner.
Having acquired the range from a rag and bone man in preparation for the day they would have their utilities cut off, Tom helps with the range for all but thirty seconds before he becomes preoccupied with the next self sufficiency headache....the birds that are eating all his newly planted seed.
After several unsuccessful ideas from Count Basie blasting from a tape recorder, rattling tin cans and Scaracrows, Tom seems destined to wrestle with this problem forever, little realising that Barbara is getting to the end of her patience scrubbing the huge black hulk in the kitchen.
