Over the range microwave

[sorrowmonkey]

Has anyone installed an over-the-range microwave oven before?

We are replacing the hood over our range with a combination microwave/convection oven to try and recover some counter space in our kitchen. A quick reading of the installation guide seemed straightforward, but then again, so did the installation guide for the tub/shower combo.

I'd welcome any tips or tricks. Before I start this project, I have to put together my new lawnmower and mow the lawn. Since it is now raining, that means I have a few days to sit back and think about it while I study.

Chip installed ours but he is at regional and it's probably too late by now :)

No tips whatsoever (I was quite pleased with myself when I replaced an aerator on a faucet the other day, and declared to Greg that I have now done plumbing!)but I raise a glass to you in support of your bravery. :-)

the big thing is getting the mounting brackect secure in the wall and if the studs don't cooperate put a small piece of plywood onto the studs. but make sure the barackect is into something STURDY!
