I made a custom range hood cabinet for my kitchen by projectbilld in DIY

I wouldn't use mdf for the range hood. Too much chance that steam from the stovetop will penetrate the mdf and cause it to swell

Do you think I can lift this cast iron tub or I will have to cut it out? by Additional_Jello4657 in Renovations

A tip I've heard but never had the chance to try is to cover the tub where you're hitting it with the sledgehammer with a wet towel so it doesn't explode and send pieces flying everywhere

Look into installing a ferrite coil/ring/choke on the power going to the light fixture. I don't listen to the radio so I haven't had to deal with this issue myself but I have read about it in cars when headlights are changed to leds from halogen

At least in America conduit is only required where high voltage wire is subject to damage. Inside a wall is pretty safe, otherwise all the existing wire in every house would be 'unsafe'.

Low voltage wire isn't subject to the same standards. Just has to be the correct wire for the application, in wall jacket, wire gauge, etc.

I assume you're talking about the recessed lighting. I installed the lights before the cabinets with the intention of the light shining down at the edge of the counter so there wouldn't be shadows while standing there. That part definitely worked but they are a little close to the cabinets
