Nothing is easy when it comes to project around the house, and installing a microwave above the stove is no different. Now I’m not saying it was hard, just more work than it really should be.
Krissy and I got a over the stove microwave for Christmas from my parents. What happened to the good toys for Christmas, like a new iPod or camera or computer???? — Those were the days, now I’m excited about a new microwave
Starting out we see the old fan/light hood that was there:
Then tear that out and find a big hole in the wall.
It looks like they didn’t put the wire through in the right spot, so had to move the wire accordingly to hook up the fan hood.
This only means now I have to add an outlet in the cabinet for the microwave to plug into. More work, which should already be there.
After a couple drilling of holes in the cabinet and new outlet installation, we have an installed microwave.
Cut up the cabinet a bit, but it all looks clean from the outside. Now there is an outlet inside the cabinet.
Looks nice, great job, you’re welcome!
