Spur of the Moment

I had this thought the other day about making some changes to the kitchen.  I thought I would install an over the range microwave and lose the counter top one.  Thought I might put in new counter tops to match the one that I had installed when we moved in and make the kitchen more uniform.  In order to do that I would have to make a change to some cabinets.  It all sounded good in my head.  Today I went to the home depot to look at swamp coolers for the brick house.  I decided to take a walk back and look at cabinets as well as microwaves.  I found one that was only $100 and so I bought it.  All was well until I got it home and started playing with the measurements and considering what I would have to do to install this thing.  The existing hood was hard wired in and this would require a plug - not a big deal.  As I looked at the measurements I didn't like how low it would sit over the range.  It was within the allowable distance but seemed really crammed.  I decided I would need to change out the cabinet over the range.  I went and bought a new one and set about doing the job.  I have installed the electrical outlet.  With that done I can move towards hanging the cupboard.  I think I am going to fur it out a bit for looks and so the microwave doesn't look so awkward hanging out of the cupboard area 4 inches.  Hopefully it doesn't look too tacky.  Well, spur of the moment project of the day, fun times.  Hopefully it will turn out well.
