3 trys for a microwave.
So since we have a limited amount of space in the kitchen we wanted to get an over the range microwave so that we can get rid of the microwave that we have that takes up lots of room. Lowes had this microwave on sale for $99. It is, of course, a cheap microwave- there is nothing fancy about it. We don't use the microwave on a regular basis. We use it mostly to melt butter when baking or to heat up leftovers therefor we decided cheap was the way to go. Mike bought the microwave at Lowes and brought it home. He opened the box to install it and we discovered that it was black. We pondered for a min trying to decide if we could somehow get away with a black microwave when every other appliance in the kitchen is white. We decided it simply wouldn't work and Mike made a special trip back to Lowe's to exchange it. He gets home with the thing and his brother Matt is here, so together they get the microwave up on the wall. As soon as all the manpower is done and the thing is on the wall we realize its damaged... BADLY. Its so dented that the door hangs crooked. So hence the third trip to Lowe's. The lady at the return department was like.. "Weren't you here already exchanging this thing??" Anyways thankfully this one is white and non dented- We checked while we were still at Lowe's just to be sure. Its a good thing Lowe's is literally just down the road as we spend an awful lot of time there and gas getting there. We had just pulled into our driveway last night with our perfect microwave when Mike says "Ooops... I forgot to get some more mud.... and I can't finish mudding the walls until I get more mud. " Well why didn't you think of that on one of our 3 trips to Lowe's today Genius????"""
Ohh and FYI.. yes it looks a little crooked and off center and it sticks out a bit- that will all get fixed when we get new cabinets but for now its going look like this.
