[AT] O.T. - Kitchen Microwave Height

[charlie hill]

Herb, some folks do that sort of thing with the actuators that used to be 
used
on the big satellite dishes.  The cheapest solution if you have the counter
space is to go to Lowes or somewhere and buy a new counter top microwave.
The new ones are very light weight and cheap but work well but if you don't 
have
space for it then you can't.

You can get a stool.

My did had a stool that had a wrap around grab bar so he could gain some 
height and had a bar to steady himself.
Like mentioned before microwaves are pretty cheap.  If the space is 
available another microwave would be the best bet.  Probably cheaper also.
Not quite as fun to think about though. :-}

Herb,

Building a mechanism like this is a neat idea. You might find linear 
actuators on Amazon. They could be similar to the electric lifts for garden 
tractor blades, etc.

A more cost effective idea is to buy a countertop microwave and just not use 
the other one.
