A Tale of Two Microwaves

Once upon a time, we had a lovely microwave in the kitchen. We used it before we moved in to warm up cold pizza while we painted the walls and ripped up the floors. Then one day, the microwave broke. We called the manufacturer, who told us our warranty was good, so they sent out a technician to diagnose it. Sadly, the technician informed us our warranty was in fact not good, and we had to pay him $75 to tell us that he couldn't fix it without a lot more money. We took down the microwave to see if we could do anything to fix it and discovered that there was nothing we could do, so we plopped it in the garage, where it stayed for months and months. Finally, almost a year later, we bought a shiny new microwave! And we all lived happily ever after.

This is the microwave from our apartment that we've been using in the meantime. It's not ugly, but it takes up SO much counter space, which we really don't have that much of.

So much more space, and moving the knife block over to be with the other knives means the right side of the sink is completely clear!

Nick also installed this amazing outlet! It's amazing because the former owner had cut off the plug of the old microwave cord and connected it directly to the wires in the wall. I can't even imagine how it could possibly be easier to do that than to just install an outlet. The shortcuts these people took were unreal.

No gaping hole above the stove! So pretty! AND IT MATCHES.
