It was a close call but I got all the CT wires run through the conduit into the new low voltage box!
The sprinkler guy came and finished running the pipe out to the shed location today!
I used my label maker for the electrical panel and the electrician was so impressed with it he bought the same label maker himself 😂 He said this was much quicker and neater than hand-writing the branch names.
Opened up the drywall under my electrical panel to make room for the electricians to install a new low voltage box for monitoring the power usage of each circuit!
I found this old Palm Pilot at a rummage sale and fixed the battery terminals and got it to boot up! This was the first Palm I bought, the m105. Now I just need to track down a serial cable so I can install some more apps on it!

Ikea trip to get some doors and drawers for my new Kallax shelves in the studio!
Kitchen update. Not a 3D rendering, not AI.
📍 TriMet Rose Quarter Transit Center
📍 Peninsula Park / Rose Garden
decided to just get a quote for blinds and install all in one go
The elevator guy installed the dumbwaiter call buttons today! It's going to drive me crazy that it's crooked though so I am going to have to fix it.
Long day doing an "Intro to OAuth" O'Reilly workshop. The RØDECaster Video held up great for the whole 5 hours tho.
The hot tub cover finally arrived! I had to screw the little clamps in for the straps, and it felt more than a little terrifying to drill a hole in the wood with it full of water.
They did such a good job with the patio pavers!
Today I hooked up the CT clamps to the main breaker panel, and now I have continuous monitoring of how much power the house is using! It's very cool. I'm going to have my electrician run CTs to each individual circuit next time he's here.
They finally poured the concrete for the back steps and foundation for the shed!
wet concrete
I finally put up the trim for the LED strip on the roof patio. There was this awkward corner to get around that I filled in with epoxy putty, seemed easier than figuring out how to make it work with the trim.
They are pouring the last concrete tomorrow so I had to get some photos of the forms before they are filled in!
that's one way to have a cat on your lap
Finally printed the labels for the last patch panels
