My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

where to put the microwave?

13 years ago
We wanted to put the microwave up, off the counter, hanging with the cabinets, but now we think it will stick out too far and get in the way of that work surface. Where are people putting microwaves these days?
thanks! Kate

    GE Spacesaver microwaves are easy to "hide" in cabinetry because they're only 12+ inches deep....available 18" or 24" wide, some with turntables! I made this upper cabinet 14" deep which allowed plenty of space for the micro and the plug/receptacle.
