New kitchen too

Does this mean you will be cooking?

He'd have to unpack his pots and pans to do that, Rosemary.

It's a lovely kitchen, I question the micro over the hob though, we could be talking steam and heat damage as time goes by.

Now you have a good cat walk (for cats)

I notice you cleverly avoided the cat part of that comment, Dave.

James, that's a VERY common setup over here. Every house I can remember living in for my adult life has had the microwave over the stove.

I know it's a common setup It just seems strange to me that it is the option people use. I can see the instructions now, place the unit in the most likely place to get overheated and inundated with steam (don't worry nothing will probably happen). However if it does you can buy a new one and re-locate next time. .

Shame about the lack of cat.
