Oh, Megan... I feel for you, gal, because I came SOOOO close to doing the
same thing!!!
 
When Hurricane Georges came zipping by & we, here in SW FL, thought that we
were going to get wholloped, my daughter, the fuzzbutts & I ended up at my
mom's house.  NOT alot of room.  I had to get creative when cleaning the MW
cage.  Lifting it out of the plastic base & setting it nearby was the best
route... FORTUNATELY I set newspapers down in a huge rectangle first...
although I was wondering if I could "skim" by without the newspapers!
 
'Sorry you had to go through that!!!   :-I     Frustrating, isn't it??
Ah, the joys of being a Mother....
