The Microwave - Part I - Goodbye Old Friend

As I mentioned, I believe our appliances are original to our house.   So, when we undertook this project, the wall oven, microwave, dishwasher had to go. 



Here's my microwave.   

As you can see, it has a dial.  It cooks okay, it makes bacon, it doesn't do well with defrosting or melting butter.  We have a junior microwave for that.  

So, when we made the decision to get a smaller microwave and put it on the counter, we decided to put the old microwave out for bulk trash pickup.   And if you don't know what bulk trash pickup is, well it's once a month at the beginning of the month, where folks put out furniture, lumber, tree limbs,  etc.  Once we put a bathtub out there and it was gone the next morning.   So our old friend went out around 11:00 p.m. one Saturday evening with the following sign:

So how long do you think it took for someone to pick this up?  I said before 9:00 a.m. on Sunday.  Paul said before 10:00 a.m.  I walked out around 9:45 a.m. and it was gone.  I'd say it was a tie.
