Microwave-can't seem to live without it...


So the day after we bought our van, our microwave stopped working. We were not at all surprised, usually when we get something new, something old dies, and the microwave was almost 11. I took this opportunity to get the space saving over the range microwave. We went to H. Depot to buy all the stuff we would need to put an outlet in the cupboard, only to be strongly discouraged from doing so by the H. Depot salesman. He really thought we should just use an existing plug. We came home a bit dejected-well, I did at least-and started looking at the installation instructions and planning what to do when Nate said-hey, this can't be plugged in below it-the cord can only go up-we were both a bit peeved with H. Depot man as this seems obvious about all over the range ovens now, if they are to be flush against they wall, how would you snake something behind. So we took the plunge and cut holes all over the wall and cupboards, no one got injured or electrocuted. And the microwave works just fine to boot. Pbbbbbtttt to the H. Depot man.

I'm glad to have people to ask questions to at those stores, but we've also learned the hard way that they don't always know what they are doing. Good job on figuring it out!
