lost in all the excitement...
Jan. 24th, 2006 10:53 pm...was the crap that went down *before* Heather's close encounter of the semi kind.
Our microwave went on the blink. This time, it wasn't the internal fuse. The light came on. The timer timered. The magenetron didn't make those itty-bitty waves that we love.
Tonight, MJ nailed me coming in the door with "let's go see what Lowes and Home Depot have".
The end result: new, slightly larger (as in sticks out from the cabinets a bit more) and more powerful microwave...and not too much sturm und drang in the removal and installation.
The only down side was that I didn't get into the shop to get a couple dozen more wooden cards done, but that's life. I've got something like 500 cards that I need to sand and drill, in walnut, cherry, beech, and osage orange. Shiny (and colorful)!
