Herb:
I sent this this morning but I sent it from my office address and it did 
not go through.

Herb:
I think I have ordered from this place before.  They have a drop down TV 
lift that might work for your application

I did not even have to go buy a short ladder, I already had this one. The stool idea it is a good one, but the stools tended to slide on the wood floor.

>> O.T. – Most people lose agility with age, some lose height with age; Barbara and I have experienced both, so height of our microwave (above the kitchen range) has become a concern. Temporarily lowering the microwave is one possible solution; this could be done by electric motor either driving a threaded screw rod or powering a hinged mechanism similar to a door step on a RV. There is plenty of attic room above the kitchen or installing such mechanism. Where would I find such mechanisms, or something similar?
