During your ...OK...you didn't mention so I'll ask. During your previous post where you settled on adding trim between the upper boxes there's a photo that's been bugging me. You show the additional trim on the left side of the upper cabinet adjacent to the outlet that the microwave will use. It may have just been camera angle, but I was thinking that the extra width from the trim piece would booger up layouts and cause the upper above the microwave to have its right edge straddling the receptacle. Did this actually cause a problem or just chalk it up to parallax?JustSayGrrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636582439358369168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3827437275184158303.post-18175142690291715012008-05-20T19:01:00.000-07:002008-05-20T19:01:00.000-07:00This will be the first time I've ever had the over...This will be the first time I've ever had the over-the-range microwave. The renovation I did a few years got one and I really liked how it cleared up the counter top. Realistically, it clears up 4 square feet of space. Since we went with taller cabinets after removing the soffit I still net plenty of extra storage.Muskego Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066821318376402273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3827437275184158303.post-38917223670351498432008-05-20T06:53:00.000-07:002008-05-20T06:53:00.000-07:00That was one of the best things we did for our kit...That was one of the best things we did for our kitchen, too! We hemmed and hawed for a long time about how tall that cabinet above the stove should be... we went shorter instead of taller, though. We need cabinet space!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377889829748572675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3827437275184158303.post-60197919793207428242008-05-19T20:42:00.000-07:002008-05-19T20:42:00.000-07:00That's a slick installation.
