4 mistakes to avoid when installing your new over the range microwave: 1. Butt the rear wall template all they way up to the cabinet (not the tile line 🤦🏻‍♀️) to avoid a gangsta lean 😎 2. Use the template to line everything up, but I’d recommend using the actual bracket to mark your holes to avoid re-drilling into the tile for adjustments 3. Make sure you are in at least one stud with the proper wood screw, then use smaller screws to avoid tickling anything that doesn’t want to be tickled behind that wall 🫣 4. Pull oven out for easier access. Or get a nice hip stretch in 🤷🏻‍♀️ Like and Subscribe for more lessons learned & inspo! #JonelleLovesDIY #DIY #microwaveswap #kitchenglowup
