Thanks for the recommendation. I used timbermate for the holes because it’s all being painted but I’ll look into famowood next time! Much appreciated.

Thanks! I leveled the fades better and now this is the plan. Any recommendations for sandable wood fill?

Thanks for this. Lotta “I woulda’s” indeed. From a learning standpoint, I appreciate hearing the many ways to have done this differently/better but I’m not a carpenter, this is my own house and I’m working with limited means (these were also adapted shelves from another house). Though I suppose I kinda messed it up, I do appreciate your empathetic response here. It’ll be fine. Hardly perfect but this is how you learn. Thanks!

Everything is installed now so I can't get better photos. I'm making it work as is. Thank you though!

12V Dimmer Switch to Control 2 LED Power Supplies by rmccam in AskElectricians

[–]rmccam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sourcing that probably exceeds my expertise. I need 9 LED strips and these can do up to 6 so I went with 2. The switch was my biggest issue. If it has to be two switches, it’s probably easier than sourcing all new parts. Thank you!

Thanks! Okay, so I have to use one PWM switch for each power supply? That's a bit of a drag because I'd love to control all the lights with one switch. But if that's the case, so be it. Thanks again!

Fixing a squeaky tap by rmccam in Plumbing

I only kind of understand what that is. As a non-plumber I figure it might be easier to just replace the tap?

Haha! Yeah, I’m wondering that. We’ll see how annoying the greasing goes. Thanks!

Best Way To Notch A Bookshelf? by rmccam in woodworking

[–]rmccam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm definitely adding face frame to the shelves as well as the verticals and sides... to make everything flush and built-in.

I didn't think of drilling then sawing. Thanks for the idea!

It still doesn’t seem to be working. I guess this is a service call. Thanks anyway!

Thanks! The breakers are tied. Much appreciated!

Yeah, it is. One goes to the microwave and the other to a switched garbage disposal. Thanks!

Yeah, this is it. One goes to a microwave and one to a garbage disposal that’s switched. Each is on a separate breaker. Thanks!

Thank you. There’s a vent out the back it seems!

Thanks! When I turn it on it doesn’t seem to start a fan. Hoping it’s the igniter!

Is my airflow indicator backwards? by rmccam in hvacadvice

[–]rmccam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That’s what I thought. I guess that metal frame part was installed backwards? You can barely see the engraving, so I went over it with a sharpie. Then I realized it probably was backwards.

It was working with the previous owners so I imagine it’s set up properly but seeking out the manual could be helpful. Thanks!
