    It was bothering me that I messed up the alignment of the compost bin on the cabinet door so I fixed it. There was exactly enough free space between the bin and hinge to move it so it exactly clears the other door.

    I think I finally figured out what I want to do for door locks. These Level deadbolts are super cool, the battery goes inside the deadbolt.

    Since I don't have a concrete plan for these network wires yet, I added a large box and coiled them up inside.

    Picture rail everywhere means not having to poke holes in the walls to hang art! I added this slim metal rail to places I didn't think to ask them to put the wood rail before.

    With the conduit run, I am finally able to get network out to the mailbox shed! I did all the terminations and added one extra CAT6 run while the ground is still open.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Lily insisted on getting a fancy doorknob for her office, but couldn't pick one out on her own, so I finally found this and put it in today!

    Best dish rack ever! I finished mounting the tray and built the rack above it. I think I'm still going to add a peg board to the left of the rack in order to be able to hang things from hooks.

    It feels crazy to drill a hole through the perfectly nice cabinets, but this will be great when it's done. Unfortunately the hole didn't line up because the drip tray drain was welded on at a weird angle. So now I need to get a hole saw and make this hole larger.

    Finally got the power supply for the motorized shades installed! I mapped out most of the wires, at least enough to know which ones need to be powered. I didn't bother getting out the ladder to trace the 6 that are super high up tho.
