We had an over the stove microwave at our last home. Local hardware
store installed it and the young man who installed it put on the
labels. They were punch out labels from a one size fits all sheet
but did a great job (for a while). Over time heat from the burners
melted the Braille and by the time we sold the house and moved all
our labels were flat! It was pretty funny; told the young guy from
the hardware store what had happened and he tried to feel
responsible. Told him that was silly, we thought the whole thing was
pretty hilarious. Then he felt better!
The best layed plans . . .
