I kid on the first post (although it was a true story).
Three (4) thoughts-
1. go for it
2. For the short term- what kind of cabinents are those- they look maple/pecan or something. If they are a mass produced home depot/lowes type thing- they will have a corresponding 36 inch overhead type door which you can go buy for next to nothing. Go buy it. That will get you through the holidays.
3. If you are converting to gas- (for the holidays)- you can get a propane tank for your gas grill and run it to your gas oven. I think they are both 4 psi or something- all you need is a gas line and pressure regulator (pm me if you need one)- I used for about a year before I tapped into my outdoor propane tank. You can hide the grill propane tank in a floor cabinent next to the oven.
4. In your long term plan for the kitchen- think of some real exhaust in your overall design- ditch the damn microwave and get real on a real exhaust vent. I went to some insane cfm vent directed oustide and it was the best decision EVER. When I am in the garage- I can smell what my wife is cooking in the house- and I come running.
