Microwave Part Deux

SOOOOO we uninstalled everything and went to Home Depot to pick up some more screws (Chris lost one) and togglebolts (the wingnuts from the first set of togglebolts are a permanent fixture within the walls of our house.) Of course, the Home Depot we went to sucked, it was like none of those assholes wanted to help us. We found the togglebolts but the "Self Aligning Machine Screws" were a bust. The instructions call for three of those self aligning screws and we figure we could manage with the two.

Back at home we're making progress and our wall now has EIGHT holes in it (some are 1/2 inch wide.) We lift the microwave onto the track thing and I go to screw the Self Aligning Machine Screws from the top cabinet into the microwave and GUESS WHAT(?!?)...the threads on the one screw are screwed. Chris, during his first attempt yesterday, tried to use the Self Aligning Machine Screws as wood screws and destroyed one...now we only have ONE Self Aligning Machine Screw.

"Ugh, I am over this fucking microwave, lets just return it. I need some wine," Chris rants as he storms out of the kitchen with a bottle under his arm. LOL! He is officially banned from home improvement. It's a good thing I love him.

Microwave installation: going on 48 hours.
