Final two shots, show the finished job.

All that is needed is a good clean to get rid of the door marks, and a quick vac to get the sawdust...

Right! here are the last pics

Papa, i will email you the pics. What size do you want?

On to the first of the last pics...

Here i have covered the bolts and spacers at the bottom with plastic covers.

This will help make it easier to keep clean, and looks less obvious.

The two smaller buttons hide the screw that holds the front of the microwave.

Hi fulabeer, if you have them at around 800x600 pixels that will be fine.

Can't see the pics on here for some reason. Possibly a problem with the pic site!

cheers

Not sure why they are not showing for you.

When they do, they are at 800x600 already so just need copying and pasting.

I'm in Anglesey (Nant Newyd) until Sunday, so for any reason you have trouble getting the images, i will send them when i get back.

Thanks...Paul

Hi Paul, they are showing now, I think it was a glitch on my PC, had a few problems with it earlier and have now reset a lot of bits and bobs and deleted some of the cache etc and it is back on track, will start to download the pics and making up a worksheet using your descriptions on here as well.

BTW the vents look spot on!

Now downloaded all 23 oics (should be correct?) and all text. will start on it either tomorrow or Thursday. will let you know when its sorted!

Have a good time at Nant Newyd.

Cheers

Thanks!

We're back and the microwave was great.

We had so much more work(top) space that the caravan seemed bigger.

We didn't have any problems with the height of the microwave, but we were a little more careful with hot liquids!

Sorted a rough page out, still to upload etc but will do so later today, or if you send me your e-mail addy I can send it to you in PDF form (once I make it PDF lol)

Glad that this has improved your caravan experience.

Hi Fulabeer, looks great. Was thinking of doing my self  with Swift Charisma, but all the microwave units on sale state ventilation clearances. You had any issues? Is the ventilation requirements about proper food cooking or fire risk?

Hi

As far as i know, all microwaves have a stand off peg at the back to stop you backing it too near the rear wall etc.

This means you cannot exceed the clearance at the back.

The microwave actually has more space than you would think, as it is sat in a larger cupboard space.

Only the sides in the middle come near to the unit edges.

Even those have about 1" clearance.

Top and bottom has plenty of space, especially with Papas tip about fitting a top vent grill.

I think problems could occur if you tried fitting the microwave in a tight fitting cupboard. (ie the cupboard was the same size as the microwave).

The microwave only tends to be used for about 3 mins at a time, so again its not like having a oven on for hours.

Although the pictures make my microwave look big, it is really quite small. (approx 750 watt)

In the interest of other members, i will report back if i find ANY issues...

Hi Fulabeer, just finished the pages which can be seen here or downloaded in PDF format from the link at the foot of the page.

Hope you approve of the finished job!

Looks fantastic!

Thanks for taking the time to do it. (so others can benefit etc)

Ps

Hope things at your end are OK etc...Paul

Cheers Paul, as you say its all so others can benefit.

Been a poor week all told Paul, it can only get better!
