Very rainy day with the electricians here working on exterior conduit for landscape lighting
I couldn't handle it anymore, and decided to take apart the cat tree and move the trunk off to the side so that it doesn't block the TV anymore
Seems like no matter how much I thought I had planned, there's always somewhere else I actually want a USB outlet somewhere else. Thankfully it's not too hard to swap them out. They also make these with 60W PD now
The cool thing about Lutron Pico remotes is you can add a switch anywhere, including "impossible" places like the side of this wood railing
Enterprise build week 1
The tree continues to be a hit
We put up the fake stained glass overlay on Lily's office window
I had some help building the voice booth
I think the cat tree is going to be a success
Just made the first batch of habanero hot sauce in the new kitchen! 64oz
Mounted compost bin and a pullout tray under the sink, maximum use of space ftw!
With a little help, we got the couch moved in to the speakeasy! Had to completely disassemble it to be able to move it up the stairs.
Kittens first steps exploring the new house!
Apparently should have built the cat tree before mounting the TV on the wall...
It's moving day for the cats! They are still suspicious but they like hanging out with us on the bed.
Can't believe we already found somewhere we should have added an outlet. So instead I drilled through the cabinets to run an extension cord from the one outlet we *did* put inside the cabinets, and now there's power for the shredder.
Got the new litter boxes all ready for the cats to move in!
ok, got the TV box mounted behind the TV, it only sticks out like 3 inches and still looks pretty good on the wall with no cables visible
did you know you can just buy cup rinsers for your house??
we also moved the couch in today!
It's kitchen organizing day!
I got the Frame TV hung on the wall, next up is to hide the box behind the TV. If I had really planned ahead I would have put a panel in the wall so the box could live inside the wall and the TV would be flush, but I wasn't actually sure about the Frame TV when we had to make that call. Normally it wouldn't be a huge deal to retrofit it, but this is a shear wall so there's actually plywood behind the drywall which makes the whole thing a lot more complicated. Plus there's also a million power and network cables inside the wall already so I'm not even sure there is room for a panel anyway.
I had to swap the outlet for a recessed outlet because the printer is almost exactly the full depth of the cabinet 😅 I don't know how we cut it that close after building the cabinet specifically for this printer! Either that or the outlet could have been 3 inches higher and it would have been fine. Works fine now tho.
I mounted this tiny Yololiv webcam on the back wall of Lily's office so she has a way to show off her wallpaper and desk on her livestreams!
